It seems there are actually only seven FDA approved pumps on the market, which treat ED (this is the main reason we PFS victims are using it for), the main qualification by the FDA, is the pressure they have, as anything above a certain pressure amount is considered dangerous -https://www.augustams.com/medical-grade-vacuum-erection-device/
There are also a whole host of horror stories on the internet about people who have been trying to recover years from either a bathmate, or other vacuum devices. Granted most are happy, but we are back to the whole Finasteride story then, as this would be a comparable of how many people are happy as opposed to those who were damaged by it. Some people have a less sensitive manhood as apposed to others.
Using a bathmate, or any of these devices that have the above recommended pressure, is part of the Penis Enlargement game, there are tons of sources from the professional medical world, that will tell you to stay far from Penis enlargement exercises -https://texaspenilesurgery.com/dangers-of-trendy-penis-enlargement-exercises/
Vacuum devices also don't naturally draw blood, it pulls in arterial blood, not venous blood. - A Urologist told me this, and you can confirm this with other urology establishments as I did.
End of day, it seems using a penile pump can be controversial.
