Integra LifeSciences Corp. is recalling approximately 348 Codman CERTAS Plus Programmable Valves because they were distributed with the incorrect product description on both the internal and external labels. These implantable devices are used to manage hydrocephalus by maintaining constant brain pressure and draining excess fluid. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, the labeling error could lead to the selection or use of the wrong valve during a medical procedure.
