<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which controls body fluid to let it flow from one area of a patient into another one, and a method therefor. <P>SOLUTION: The device comprises an implantation shunt system and a system controller, wherein the implantation shunt system may have a control valve for controlling the flow of the body fluid, a sensor element for measuring the physiological features of a patient, and an electric mechanical valve actuator constructed to control the resistance of the valve; the implantation shunt system may communicate electrically with the system controller; and the system controller generally receives the physiological features of the patient and may be constructed to work the electric mechanical valve actuator for controlling the resistance of the valve. The device may comprise an outside programming device which communicates with the system controller. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
