@acoope Wow. Sorry to hear that. They should last 7-10 years. In case someone else's plays up, how did "malfunction" present itself? Pump just not pumping? Warning signs would be very useful to know.

@peterj116 I started leaking really bad so the urologist scoped me and the scope passed through the sleeve without using the pump to open it. Boston Scientific was present during the surgery and I was told they couldn’t identify exactly why it failed.
