An acoustic monitoring system that is able to verify the success or failure of the positional adjustment of a valve without the need for additional energy during non-invasive reprogramming is provided. The acoustic monitoring system includes a programmer for generating a sequence of commands to adjust the valve mechanism, and for receiving acoustic signals for analysis, a transmitter to implement the command and adjust the valve, and a sensor for detecting an acoustic signal generated from the valve during execution of the commands. A method for using the acoustic monitoring system is also provided.

Acoustic monitoring system

A shunt has a housing and a base. The base has a first set of electrodes extending across the base. A catheter is connected to the housing. The catheter has a longitudinal length, a proximal end, and a distal end. The catheter has a second set of electrodes extending along the longitudinal length of the catheter. At least two of the electrodes of said first set are electrically connected to two of the electrodes of the second set. The housing including a self sealing, needle penetrable outer housing wall. The system includes a probe assembly that is selectively penetratable through an outer housing wall.
