• •2. If more than one distal shunt catheter is present, at least one distal shunt catheter is at least 2 cm away from any other distal shunt catheter in the device measurement region
• •3. Signed informed consent by subject or a parent, legal guardian, health care agent, or surrogate decision maker (according to local statutes)
