Comments

RED: Vacuum pump devices for new patients - requires assessment of condition and training on use of device for erectile dysfunction as per SLS criteria

GPs can accept initial prescribing after assessment or on-going prescribing for replacement pumps if the device is routinely prescribed in primary care in the specialist's host area and the patient meets the SLS criteria and appropriate training has been provided. Warranty is approximately for 5 years, therefore advise the patient if a replacement is requested to check whether the pump is covered under the warranty for repair before replacement prescription is issued. 

GREEN after specialist initiation: Penile constrictor rings (for use with vacuum pump) - used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction in patients meeting SLS criteria
