Deactivating the AMS 800
™
Urinary Control System
The AMS 800
™
Urinary Control System
has a
deactivation button which stops the flow of
the fluid from one component to another.Your
doctor may deactivate your device at various
times, such as while you are healing following
your surgery or before inserting a catheter or
other instrument into your urethra.
Special precautions to
take with your AMS 800
™
Urinary Control System
before undergoing a medical
procedure
It is important for healthcare providers
to know that you have an AMS 800
™
Urinary Control System before you
undergo any medical procedure. This is
especially true of any procedures which
require the insertion of a catheter or
any other instrument into the urethra.
Such procedures can only be safely
performed after your AMS 800™ Urinary
Control System has been deactivated
(see the following section for deactivation
instructions). Failure to deactivate the
AMS 800™ Urinary Control System
before inserting a catheter or other
instrument into the urethra can result
in damage to the device and/or your
urethra. It is possible that such damage
could require removal of the device.
