Orthavax Safety
Built for Confidence. Designed for Protection.
Orthavax is FDA registered, not FDA approved. But safety was our starting point.
We carefully reviewed the FDA’s safety guidelines for Vacuum Erection Devices (VEDs). Those standards—and additional safeguards—are fully integrated into Orthavax.
Key Safety Features
Emergency Quick-Release Valve
Located at the top of the chamber, this valve instantly releases vacuum pressure with a simple press.
Automatic 10-Cycle Pause
Each session includes 40 cycles. After every 10th cycle, the system pauses to allow re-lubrication and reassessment before continuing.
Touchscreen Pause Button
The built-in touchscreen features a clearly marked pause button. Pressing it stops the session and safely releases vacuum.
Overuse Prevention
Orthavax limits use to
one session every seven hours, preventing excessive exposure.
Power Loss Protection
In the event of a power outage, Orthavax
automatically shuts off and releases any vacuum pressure.
Understanding Risk: A Safer Approach to VED Use
VEDs are considered safe when used properly. But most off-the-shelf devices sold online:
Are not regulated
Often cost under $50
Include minimal safety guidance
Orthavax is different. It’s engineered to eliminate the most common risk:
overuse.
Overuse: The Primary Risk of VEDs
Prolonged high vacuum exposure can damage skin and tissue.
For comparison, wound vacuums (used medically) operate at
much lower pressure levels and are designed for extended use.
How Orthavax Prevents Overuse
Orthavax integrates
four independent safeguards:
1. Vacuum Level Control
Uses precision vacuum transmitters with +/-1% accuracy
Ceramic sensors and Viton seals for durability and reliability
2. Timed Vacuum Duration
Each vacuum cycle lasts 15 seconds, followed by a 4-second rest
Longer vacuum does
not add benefit–so we don't allow it
3. Cycle Limit Per Session
Clients choose 5 or 10 warmup cycles at lower pressure
Total session capped at
40 cycles (about 15 minutes) including recovery time
4. Session Frequency Limit
Users can perform only one session every 7 hours
This enforces rest periods and reduces cumulative strain
Reducing Pain and Discomfort
Many men abandon standard VEDs due to pain. The issue? Generic chambers press too hard into the groin, often creating ring-like bruising.
Orthavax eliminates that pain in two ways:
1. Custom Chamber Size
Matched to penis diameter (~1.5 inches typical), not a generic 2.5-inch tube
This greatly reduces the total force against the body
2. Integrated Comfort Pad
A broad pad distributes remaining pressure
No sharp contact, no groin ring sensation

Summary
Orthavax delivers the benefits of a VED—safely, consistently, and intelligently.
Through built-in automation, precision controls, and comfort-focused design, we’ve addressed the risks that make other systems hard to use—or easy to misuse.
Orthavax doesn’t just apply vacuum. It applies common sense, data, and care.
Debunking myths about autism
-
Myth - Autism is a disease that needs to be cured
Autism is a disorder, and it comes in many forms and levels of severity. It could be mild in one child, and severe in another. In any case, it isn't a disease for which we should find a cure. Rather, it's a condition families and their children need to learn to live with on a dialy basis. With the right coping mechanisms and care, we see significant change for the better.
