Results from case studies are not necessarily predictive of results in other cases. Results in other cases may vary.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: These materials are intended to describe common clinical considerations and procedural steps for the use of referenced technologies but may not be appropriate for every patient or case. Decisions surrounding patient care depend on the physician’s professional judgment in consideration of all available information for the individual case.

Boston Scientific (BSC) does not promote or encourage the use of its devices outside their approved labeling. Case studies are not necessarily representative of clinical outcomes in all cases as individual results may vary.

Prior to use, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions and potential adverse events.

Indications for Use: The AMS 700™ Series Inflatable Penile Prosthesis product line is intended for use in the treatment of chronic, organic, male erectile dysfunction (impotence).

Contraindications: The AMS 700 Series Inflatable Penile Prostheses are contraindicated in the patients that have active urogenital infections or active skin infections in the region of surgery or (for the AMS 700 prosthesis with InhibiZone™ Antibiotic Surface Treatment) have a known sensitivity or allergy to rifampin, minocycline or other tetracyclines, or patients with lupus erythematosus because minocycline has been reported to aggravate this condition.

Warnings: Implantation of the device will make latent natural or spontaneous erections, as well as other interventional treatment options, impossible. Men with diabetes, spinal cord injuries or open sores may have an increased risk of infection associated with the implantation of a prosthesis. Failure to evaluate and promptly treat erosion may result in a substantial worsening of the condition leading to infection and loss of tissue. Implantation may result in penile curvature, or scarring. Pre-existing abdominal or penile scarring or contracture may make surgical implantation more complicated or impractical. If a hypersensitivity reaction develops to a device coated with InhibiZone, the penile prosthesis should be removed and the patient treated appropriately.

Precautions: Migration of the device components can occur if the cylinders are improperly sized, if the pump or the reservoir is not positioned properly, or if the tubing lengths are incorrect.

Potential Adverse Events: May include device malfunction/failure leading to additional surgery, device migration potentially leading to exposure through the tissue, device/tissue erosion, infection, unintended-inflation of the device and pain/soreness. MH-545408-AB
