An erection is achieved when the spongy corpora of the penis fills with arterial blood during sexual stimulation. In certain men, the penis may not become fully erect because the penile venous system drains too rapidly or leaks blood from the corpora. The rings operate by limiting venous return from the major superficial veins of the penis. The E.I.D. system is an external erection device that induces penile rigidity though vacuum assisted vascular engorgement of the penis. Once erection is achieved, a Confidence ring is placed at the base of the penis to sustain the erection. ## Device Story System comprises soft, pliable Confidence Rings and Erection Inducer Device (E.I.D.) vacuum pump system. E.I.D. uses vacuum chamber to induce penile rigidity via vascular engorgement; Confidence Ring placed at base of penis post-engorgement to limit venous return and sustain erection. Intended for over-the-counter use by patients. Device provides mechanical assistance for erectile dysfunction; no electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics System consists of vacuum tumescence pump, vacuum chamber with inserts, soft/pliable constriction rings, lubricating gel, and carrying case. Mechanical operation; no energy source or software. ## Regulatory Identification External penile rigidity devices are devices intended to create or maintain sufficient penile rigidity for sexual intercourse. External penile rigidity devices include vacuum pumps, constriction rings, and penile splints which are mechanical, powered, or pneumatic devices. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9. The special control for these devices is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: External Penile Rigidity Devices.” See § 876.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document. ## Predicate Devices - Confidence Rings ([K891125](/device/K891125.md)) - Erection Inducer Device (E.I.D.)
