if I

have a curved penis (Peyronie's disease)?
Yes, as long as the curvature of the penis does not
prevent you from inserting it into the cylinder.
We have received several positive comments from
patients, who said that regular use of the vacuum
pump reduced the curvature of the penis.

if I

have mild Parkinson's disease?
Yes, you can use a vacuum pump if you have
Parkinson's disease.
Can I use a vacuum pump if I have MS
(multiple sclerosis)?
This neurological disorder often results in weak or
inadequate erections, lack of orgasm or failure to
ejaculate. Use of the ACTIVE Erection System

help to solve these problems. A vacuum pump can
be used.
With which diseases can the ACTIVE Erection
System
®
(vacuum pump) not be used?
NT
In sickle cell anaemia, leukaemia, bone marrow can-
cer or other diseases that alter blood clotting; this
could result in bleeding and prolonged erections.
If there are any other medical reasons not to engage
in sexual activity, the appliance should not be used.
I have a bruise on my penis after using the
vacuum pump. Is this dangerous?
No, that sometimes happens - particularly with dia-
betes. The bruise will disappear in a few days.
Can my penis get bigger when I use the vacuum
pump?
Yes, this is possible, because the vacuum increases
blood flow to the penis and expands the erectile
tissue.

How often can I use the ACTIVE Erection

? Is it possible to use it several times

NT
a day?
You can use the unit as often as you like. There is no
risk of injury.
Can I generate too much suction or injure
myself by using the vacuum pump?
No, the strength of the vacuum cannot exceed a set
value and you cannot injure yourself.
Sometimes there is a feeling of tension when I
use the unit – I find this unpleasant.
Select a lower level of suction on the unit (press the
minus button) and perhaps let a little air in (inlet
button in the middle). With the vacuum pump, the
quality of an erection is better if it is developed
slowly.

can
If I use the ACTIVE Erection System
have normal sex with an orgasm?
Yes, with the artificial erection you can have normal
sex or masturbate for up to half an hour (30 min.).
You can still have an orgasm as before.
Will I still ejaculate if I use the vacuum pump?
You can still ejaculate, but the semen is held in by
the constriction ring. After taking the constriction
ring off, the ejaculate will flow out. A visible „spurt"
at orgasm is not possible.
Isn't it a problem if the semen can't flow out at
orgasm?
No, the vessels can store it and release it later.
Can I still father a child if I use the ACTIVE
Erection System
®
?
NT
If you want to have a child, you can use a special
ring, the ACTIVE LOOP RING (ALR). This ring can be
opened after orgasm with a small tab, so that the
semen can flow out while the penis is still in the
vagina.
If you do not want to father a child, the constriction
rings are not a safe means of contraception, and a
safe form of contraception should be used.
I use a method in which I inject a drug into the
shaft of the penis. Can I still use the ACTIVE
Erection System
Yes, there are quite a number of users of this medic-
inal method for treating erectile dysfunction. They
start by developing an erection with the ACTIVE
Erection System
erect penis, which is now well supplied with blood.
In this way the drug is distributed better through
the erectile tissue.
My partner thinks that my penis feels colder
since we started using the pump.
Yes, this is possible, because the constriction ring
reduces blood flow.

Solution: You can apply a warm gel beforehand, or
briefly wrap hot towels or a hot water bottle around

First of all, check whether all three batteries are
properly installed.
Check to see whether all the batteries are fully
charged.
What should I do if the motor is running, but
it's not producing a vacuum (doesn't suck).
You can test to see if the motor is generating
enough suction. Hold the motor with its cylinder
on a flat part of your body, e.g. your thigh or your
abdomen. If the cylinder sucks onto your skin and
makes a „plop" sound when you take it off, the unit
is working.
Try it again on the penis and make sure that there
is a tight seal between the cylinder and the shaft
of the penis. A little lubricant (e.g. Sylk or KY Jelly)
helps to make a good seal between the cylinder and
the shaft.
What can I do if the motor is running, but there
is no vacuum?
Send us the motor in a prepaid package and we will
check it. You have a two year warranty. Don't for-
get to give the address of the sender!
The motor stops and starts and the lights
