Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

It's a device with battery .
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear ! Thank you for using HCM.
I've read your question and I understand your concern .
Defibrillator is a device that uses battery to work. Usually the shelf life of these batteries are quite long.
If you have regular follow up, then your device could be checked by your doctor (every 3rd-12 month) you don't have to fear of any possibilities that it will turn off one day.
Don't worry. Once the fear is being allayed after a thorough check-up of the battery and function of the device, it's expected that the ED will be rectified too.
You can discuss with your treating doctor also , when you do the next follow up with him (check the device ).
Hope I have answered your question.
If you have any further clarifications I will be happy to help.
Take Care !

Its unlikely that intimacy may trigger the device .
Detailed Answer:
Hi again .
It's not so common that the device will be triggered during sexual life cause it is programmed in a way that is very unlikely to shock you during sexual activity . (it's uncommon for this to happen , this happens probably in 7-13% of cases ) .
During the intimacy time ,try to take things slowly and it's important to discuss with your partner all the time ,about the things that you are uncomfortable with and to do step by step when you are ready .
The device will shock you in any time your heart need to (Could be in any situation ,even when you are not doing something )
Remember that the device is there to make your life better ( to avoid heart attack ) not to cause anxiety , depression or sexual dysfunction ( fear) and sexual activity is safe for you .Enjoy your intimacy without no worries.
If you experience any shock during intimacy( it's always a solution) you could go to the treating doctor so he /she will program again the device in a way that Will not shock you during intimacy.
Hope these are helpful.
Take Care !
