I guess the only hassle is you have to use both hands one to hold the tubes going into the device so you can press on the lower control pump part. My urologist even gave me a sample control pump you press and the instructions For how to use it. I’m probably going to be able to get mine put in in February. The cards that came attached to the sample control pump include the instructions for how to activate and deactivate it. The urologist said that you only have to press that control pump once, But I’ve read from other instructions that you have to press it more than once, I’m not sure since I don’t have one yet. I guess you could confirm that in another two days.

I know that somebody else that I talked with that had one said that he was able to do it with one hand, I guess it takes a little bit of getting used to.

@jeffmarc one. Hand is easy. Be sure to wait a few seconds first the last bit to flow out. Any time I sit in a hard surface I leak a little. You can feel whete the cuff is and pressure on the cuff makes me leak. Good luck. I like my AMS800.

I had it activated yesterday around 11:00a. It went smoothly and I couldn't be more happy as the day wore on.
I guess there's a little apprehension at first but it's been 24 hour and all is good. I Even golfed today.
I'm sure when you get yours done it'll be the same.
