## Indications for use
The Cordis Ventricular Antechamber (VA) is a component of a central nervous system (CNS) fluid shunt. It connects the ventricular catheter to the valve’s integral tubing. In this configuration, it serves to conduct cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from this catheter to the valve. It may also be used with a ventricular catheter alone. In either configuration, the VA facilitates CSF sampling.
