Medical questions
I have pain/an unpleasant feeling while using the erectile pump?
This may occur in a few cases, this is not dangerous in most cases. Stop the system the moment it starts to hurt and use the vent button. When the pain is gone you can use the system again. By practicing slowly and repeatedly, the pain will often diminish over time if not disappear. If in doubt or if your pain is so severe, always contact your doctor.
Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System after prostate surgery?
This is not a problem. Most hospitals recommend starting to use an erection system as early as 1 week after surgery. The use of an erection system restores blood flow and reduces the chance of any incontinence symptoms.
Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System after radiotherapy (prostate)?
Yes, a vacuum pump such as the Active3/Manual Erection System is effective after radiation of the prostate.
Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System after a radical prostatectomy?
Since my prostate surgery, I sometimes have difficulty holding up my urine or suffer from mild incontinence. Can I use a vacuum pump in this case?
Yes, in this case we recommend the MANUAL Erection System because it is easier to clean when urine enters the cylinder during pumping.
I have pain at the site of the constriction ring?
This may be because you chose a pressure ring that was too small. Try 1 size larger and see if it no longer hurts.

Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System if I take anticoagulants (blood thinners) such as acenocoumarol and phenprocoumon?
In general, yes. Using a vacuum pump in combination with anticoagulants (blood thinners) poses no health risk. However, (severe) bruising may occur, in this case the use of the vacuum system is unwise. Use will not result in serious or permanent injury.
Is there an increased risk of thrombosis (blood clots) when using the vacuum pump?
No, the use of a vacuum pump does not affect the risk of thrombosis.
I am 70 years old or older. Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System?
Yes, of course. We have many clients who are 70 or even in their mid-80s. A vacuum pump is a practical and simple tool.
I have a crooked penis (Peyronie's disease). Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System?
Yes, as long as the curvature of the penis does not prevent you from inserting the penis into the cylinder. We have received several positive experiences from patients; they reported that regular use of the vacuum pump reduced the curvature of their penis.
Can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System 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 condition often causes you to have a weak or poor erection, fail to have an orgasm or fail to ejaculate. Using the Active3/Manual Erection System can solve these problems.
In what diseases should the Active3/Manual Erection System (vacuum pump) not be used?
Sickle cell disease, leukemia, bone marrow cancer or other diseases that alter blood clotting; this can cause bleeding and prolonged and often painful erections. If you are prohibited from sexual activity for medical reasons, the vacuum pump should not be used either.
I have a bruise on my penis after using the vacuum pump. Is this dangerous?
No, this can sometimes occur, especially in diabetics. The bruise will disappear after a few days.
Can my penis get bigger by using a vacuum pump?
Yes, this is possible because the vacuum increases the supply of blood to the penis and the swelling bodies expand further compared to before your problems. However, the vacuum pump is not a penis enlarger.
How often can I use the Active3/Manual Erection System? Is it possible to use it several times a day?
You can use the system as many times as you want, there is no risk of injury. Make sure before you use the system again that the blood circulation has returned to the penis properly, usually this is the case after 30 – 60 minutes.
Can I create too big a vacuum that causes me to injure myself?
You can use the system as many times as you want, there is no risk of injury. Make sure before you use the system again that the blood circulation has returned to the penis properly, usually this is the case after 30 – 60 minutes.
At times when I use the Active3 Erection System I feel a tension. I find this unpleasant.
Pump slowly with several pauses, perhaps letting in a little air (via the vent knob).
If I use the Active3/Manual Erection System, will I have normal sex with orgasm?
Yes, with the artificial erection you can have normal sex or masturbate for a maximum of half an hour. You can have an orgasm as before.
If I use a vacuum pump, can I ejaculate?
You can still ejaculate, but the semen is held back by the pressure ring. When you remove the pressure ring, the semen will drain out.
Is it bad that the sperm cannot leave?
No, the barrels store it and release it later.
Can I get my wife pregnant if I use the Active3/Manual Erection System?
If you want to have a child, you can use a special pressure ring called the ACTIVE LOOP RING. This ring can be easily opened after orgasm so that sperm can enter the vagina.
I put injections in the penis to obtain an erection. Can I still use the Active3/Manual Erection System?
Yes, there are some patients who first induce an erection with the Active3/Manual Erection System. Then they inject the medication into the erect penis, which is now filled with blood, this allows the drug to be better absorbed into the swelling bodies.
My partner finds my penis feels colder since using with the vacuum pump?
This is possible because after placement of the pressure ring, blood flow to the penis is reduced.
Practical questions
It fails to put the system together.
Please review the steps in the instruction manual first. If you cannot figure it out please contact us.
The system is not working?
First, see if the system is charged.
What should I do if the motor works but no vacuum is created?
Test whether the motor generates sufficient suction. Hold the pump with the cylinder on a flat part of your body, such as your thigh or abdomen. If the cylinder sucks tight to your skin and makes a “plop” sound when you take it off, the pump is working. Reposition the cylinder over the penis, making sure that no air can escape between the cylinder and your body. With some lubricant, make sure that no air can escape between your body and the cylinder.
The engine stops and the light turns red, what should I do?
You need to charge the system.
My erection does not last long enough, even with a compression ring.
Try a smaller size pressure ring.
