AMS Ms pump recall

How much BSC will pay and for what is not purely up to BSC. That is what personal injury lawyers help decide. Hopefully their position will be reasonable.

60 days from the curb... hmm. some Docs wait 6 weeks to activate. Could leave more than a few Guys Stiffed for revision costs. Not good.

Mine activated me at 2 weeks but it was a longer than normal duration even for him. There was extensive proximal corporotomy work done that he didn't want me to blow out. Eid and I think, Perito do 3-7 days respectively. Although they both do infrapubic though, IIRC. The 6 weeks was what my doctor gave me befor I could have sex (or supposedly *ANYTHING* penetrative, although I cheated with a stroker).

My pump never worked quite right from the beginning, having been installed in July 2017. It is an AMS700. It has always leaked when not desired, causing spontaneous erection. No big deal, just deflate again every couple of days, nothing wrong with keeping it exercised. However, about 3 months ago the pump locked up. I was about 3/4 inflated at the time. The bulb collapsed (like a grape going to a raisin) when I tried to pump the rest of the way up. It never dislodged, the doc up at the VA tried too. So they scheduled a replacement and I got it October 26th. The surgeon's speculation is that the prior surgical team had someone that didn't properly rinse out the device parts before insertion, allowing manufacturing debris to float around in there and finally get lodged. I did some research and found the actual surgical instructions on line and using a syringe of (can't remember off hand what liquid) to rinse out the parts and tubing is an essential step in the surgery. He said he was going to send it back and request they go over it to see if they can determine something, that would maybe help out others.
