That is the all the manipulation required to
urinate. The fluid automatically returns from
the PRB to refill the cuff. Once full, the cuff
again squeezes the urethra closed. It usually
takes several minutes for the cuff to be filled
by the fluid (urethra to be re-closed), but
each person is different. After using your
AMS 800
™
Urinary Control System a few
times, you will know how long it takes for
your cuff to refill.
If you feel that you did not empty your
bladder completely before the cuff refilled,
give the soft part of the control pump a few
more squeezes to re-open the urethra.
It is a good idea to get into the habit of
emptying your bladder on a regular basis,
such as every two to three hours.
It is important to let someone else, such
as your spouse, know how to operate the
AMS 800™ Urinary Control System to
assist you if needed.
