Possible Bad Pump

[Magicmike]

I got implanted Thursday. Today was activation and pump is not responding. Also auto inflation. This sucks I've been waiting on this for a year. Very low point in my life

Be patient!! You pumping too early. usually start pumping in week 3 or4.

No, Magic Mike was implanted by Dr. Eid in NYC and his protocol is to start cycling at 3 days.

He is following his surgeon's cycling instructions. Right Mike?

Mike, I'm sure someone here can give you some great advise on resolving your issue. If you had an AMS I could help diagnose the issue but with a Titan, I will defer to those who have been there with your hardware.

Please give details on which pump so that those with the same pump can chime in.

I can say for sure that if you're getting auto-inflation, the valve is probably stuck in mid-state if my AMS is any indication. Not sure how or if you can reset a Titan pump but try to go between DEFLATE and INFLATE several times (press the release button and then squeeze the bulb, then release again). Maybe that's the only issue.

Titan Touch. Bulb was hard as a rock so I used two thumbs. Pump activated I made 10 small squeezes and then it's like the pump got very easy and would not inflate. I tried to deflate and nothing would work. I walking around now with a pretty good semi with lots of pain. I will be in the doctor office at 8. He said it sounds like crack tubing. I know its lifetime guarantee but I can't take anymore time off of work. Very disappointed

Rest assured Dr Eid Will take care of it I’m sure that it’s probably just the way you’re trying to use it something might be stuck or maybe you’re not doing it right. The day 3 activations is usually done in his office so if you had surgery on Thursday it would’ve been moved to Monday. I can appreciate how stressful it is I had some issues myself at the very beginning. But they all worked out and everything’s fine now I have 100% faith in Dr Eid‘s ability . Mike hang in there.

I certainly hope it is operator error! Good luck buddy.

Mike, that sounds like a textbook JAMMED VALVE from the AMS troubleshooting guide. On the AMS if we squeeze the bulb while pressing the release valve, it can jam and the bulb gets VERY EASY but no fluid moves into the cylinders (Right @WhiteCane?). We can reset the pump by squeezing a certain way to allow fluid back into the bulb, then deflate/inflate to correct the valve.

Maybe a similar but different reset method is available for the TOUCH. Have you tried to contact the patient advocate hotline?

if the cylinders are inflated and rigid, you can be calm, the pump is not defective and there is no leakage. you just have to learn how to use it.

Absolutely correct LOL! i’m sure there is a master reset of some sort… Because of the way my pump was placed, I was frequently hitting the deflate button at the same time I was pumping… It jams things up… The mechanisms are actually more similar than most people think… Hope someone with the color blast chimes in on this one… I will keep looking on the Internet for you, though! Best of luck! I know my phone spelled the companies name wrong… I’m not going back to edit it… Lots of work on the blind phone…
