More Information
Summary:According to an aspect, an implantable device includes a fluid reservoir configured to hold fluid, an inflatable member configured to be implanted in a body of a patient, and an electronic pump assembly. The electronic pump assembly includes a controller configured to actuate at least one of a pump or an active valve to inflate the inflatable member, and a pressure sensor configured to monitor a pressure of the inflatable member. The controller is configured to detect a value of at least one at least one fluid transfer parameter for the pressure of the inflatable member to reach a target pressure during an inflation cycle. The controller is configured to generate size capability information of the inflatable member for the patient based on the detected value of the at least one fluid transfer parameter.
