Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	According to an aspect, an inflatable penile prosthesis (299) includes an inflatable member (204), a reservoir (202) configured to hold fluid, and a reversible flow pump assembly (201) configured to facilitate a transfer of the fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable member when in an inflation mode, and facilitate the transfer of the fluid from the inflatable member to the reservoir when in a deflation mode. The reversible flow pump assembly includes a pump (206), an input check valve (210) coupled to the pump, an output check valve (212) coupled to the pump, and a reversing valve (208). The input check valve is configured to permit transfer of fluid into the pump. The output check valve is configured to permit transfer of fluid out of the pump. The reversing valve is configured to switch between the inflation mode and the deflation mode.
