Would you get the new AMS TENACIO pump?

"Independent valve functions designed to limit mechanical failure."
More of this.

Where did you read this?

Pretty sure it’s in the brochure I linked to in the beginning. It’s one of the main selling points for me.

Second page, second bullet point of the first PDF.

Didn't anyone else notice this?

The footnote says it comes from their information on file. It would be interesting if this could be requested, or if they could elaborate.

I found some clarification online:

"The two things that we focused on were 1): how could we make the patient's interface with their device better, and 2): there were occasional complaints that the pump valve system into the internal valve system would get stuck and the pump would not work, and physicians would have to go through a number of maneuvers to get it unstuck."

"The most important part was retooling the valve system on the inside such that there were, without getting too much into the engineering, individual components for each of the ways that the fluid has to be transferred for the device to work. What that addressed is the issue that we were seeing sometimes of the pump sticking and having to be manipulated in order to get it to work. That manipulation couldn't really be done by a patient; they would actually have to go into a physician's office to get that done."

I haven't gotten an implant yet, but I imagine for anyone whose had to deal with that bullshit, that this is actually really good news.

I mentioned them in the post that started this thread. The independent valves are the main reason I’m interested in this pump, assuming they deliver on their promise.

Like everyone else has stated the new valve system was the reason I wanted it, unfortunately when I had my revision last week the new pump isn’t available anywhere in the us yet . I am curious how people will like it once they release it to be used.
