The Bathmate Hydropump is an external penile rigidity device which uses vacuum technology to create sufficient penile rigidity required
for sexual intercourse. Please read the following instructions carefully.
BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Important Safety Warnings
• Consult your doctor before using this device if you have any of the following: Symptoms of erectile dysfunction, diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
cirrhosis of the liver, chronic renal failure, alcoholism, increased heart or respiration rates, heart or lung disease, high blood pressure, stroke,
epilepsy, urinary disorder (e.g. kidney, bladder or genital problems) or leukaemia.
• Do not use this device if:
- You suffer from sickle cell disease.
- You have a history of prolonged erections.
- You suffer from any bleeding disorders or are currently taking any blood thinning medication such as aspirin.
• The Hydropump is intended for use by a single user.
• Bathmate Hydropumps are intended for use in water, therefore the use of any lubricant with this device is not advised.
• You must have full use of your hands, with the strength to operate the vacuum release mechanism. Decreased hand strength may make the
safe removal of this device difficult.
• You need to be in control of the product at all times, avoid falling asleep while using the Hydropump.
• Do not use this device whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs as this may impair your judgement and increase the risk of injury to your
penis.
• You must never use this device if you have a decreased sensation of pain in the area of the penis as this could impair your ability to detect any
potential injury caused by the device.
• The use of a vacuum pump may bruise or rupture the blood vessels within the penis or scrotum, resulting in petechiae, hemorrhage, or the
formation of a hematoma.
• The use of a vacuum pump may aggravate pre-existing conditions such as Peyronie's disease, priapism and urethral strictures.
• Misuse of this device could lead to injury of the penis.
• If severe pain or discomfort occurs discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
GETTING STARTED
Recommended Use
In order to obtain optimum benefit from the Hydropump and to avoid inappropriate use which may cause discomfort, you are strongly advised to
follow the instructions as outlined below:
BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash your hydropump using warm, clean soapy water and rinse thouroughly.
• Ensure your pubic area is reasonably well trimmed. This will facilitate the vacuum seal against the pelvic seat.
• A relaxation period of a few minutes in a warm shower or bath is required to allow the testicles to soften, allowing them to remain free from the
sealing area thereby avoiding any discomfort.
• Apply only the minimum amount of vacuum pressure necessary to achieve an erection. Excessive vacuum pressure and over vigorous pumping
may result in bruising or injury to the penis.
• To benefit the most in erection hardness and optimal blood flow, it is best to remove the device every 2-3 minutes and allow the penis to retract.
Massage the penis in the flaccid state for 2 minutes, then re apply the device and repeat the process. You should do this a maximum of 3 times
in any 15 minute session.
• Do not use the Hydropump for more than 15 minutes in any period of 24 hours.
How the Hydropump works
The Hydropump functions by creating a vacuum seal against the pubic area of the user, enclosing the flaccid penis. When the pump is pushed
downwards against the body, the bellows compress and water is ejected from the end of the pump via the open valve. When released the bellows
expand and the valve closes, creating a partial vacuum inside the pump. This causes the penis to expand and fill with blood, creating an erection.
Re pumping increases the vacuum, and so increases the size of the erection.
The user controls the valve by rotating the valve cap clockwise to lock the valve and anticlockwise to unlock the valve. When the valve is locked
the internal vacuum cannot be released. This position is used when pumping or using the handball pump. When unlocked the valve cap can be
pressed inwards against the spring. This opens the valve and allows air or water back into the body of the pump, thereby partially or fully releasing
the vacuum.
The vacuum in Bathmate Hydropumps is created by the elastic recoil strength of the bellows gaiter pump, so the user cannot exceed the safe
partial vacuum levels allowed under European and USA medical regulations.
IMPORTANT
The black pip on the top of the valve is moved by pressing inwards and moving to the right or left, where it should "click" into position closing the
valve. The closed position should only be used whilst filling the Hydropump with water in the shower. At all other times the black pip should be in
the central (open) position. Failing to ensure that the black pip is in the central position will prevent the Hydropump from operating correctly.
