## Indications for use
Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are implantable devices that provide constant intraventricular pressure and drainage of cerebrospinal fluid for the management of hydrocephalus. Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are available with or without CODMAN BACTISEAL Catheters, which are intended for use in the treatment of hydrocephalus as a component of a shunt system when draining or shunting of cerebrospinal fluid is indicated. Codman Hakim Shunt Systems are also available with or without SIPHONGUARD. The SIPHONGUARD device is designed to reduce the potential hazards of excessive lowering of intraventricular pressure (with respect to atmospheric pressure) when a patient is in an upright position.
