The shunt has a housing (12) with a set of electrodes (16) extending across a base. A catheter having a longitudinal length is connected to the housing, and has another set of electrodes extending along the length. Two electrodes of former set are connected to the two electrodes of latter set. A proximal end of the catheter is connected to the housing, and a distal end of the catheter is disposed remote from the housing. Independent claims are also included for the following: (a) a system for clearing an implanted catheter that is connected to a shunt (b) a method of clearing an implanted catheter that is connected to a shunt.
