EMK Pectus Excavatum Vacuum Bell – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Who can use the vacuum bell?

The EMK vacuum bell is designed for individuals with mild to moderate Pectus Excavatum. It is suitable for:

• Infants and children

• Adolescents

• Adults (results may vary depending on age and chest wall flexibility)

Note: Chest wall flexibility and individual circumstances can affect treatment progress. Always consult a physician before use.

2. Can using the vacuum bell help avoid surgery?

Yes, for most patients with mild to moderate pectus excavatum. Consistent use of a custom‑fit EMK vacuum bell can achieve significant correction without surgery.

Surgery is typically considered only in:

• Severe cases

• Cases where vacuum bell therapy has been ineffective

3. How long does it take to see results?

Treatment time varies by individual:

• Most patients notice improvement within a few months

• Some patients may need a year or longer

• Adults may experience slower progress

Consistency is key. Daily use under professional guidance leads to the best outcomes.

4. Does using the vacuum bell hurt?

Most users initially experience mild pressure or discomfort due to the vacuum effect. This is normal and usually subsides as the body adapts.

EMK's intelligent constant‑pressure device ensures gradual, precise pressure application — minimizing discomfort and enhancing safety.

If you experience significant pain, stop use and consult your doctor.

5. Are there any side effects?

Common and typically mild side effects include:

• Temporary skin redness

• Mild bruising

• Localized discomfort

These symptoms usually resolve on their own after stopping vacuum bell use. If side effects persist or worsen, contact EMK.

6. Can I use the vacuum bell during exercise?

No. The vacuum bell should be used only at rest. It is not recommended during strenuous activity or sports, as movement may interfere with proper use and increase the risk of injury.

7. How long should I use the vacuum bell each day?

A total of 2 hours of cumulative use per day is recommended. This can be split into two sessions of one hour each.

Total treatment duration depends on the severity of the condition and individual response. EMK will provide personalized guidance based on your progress.

8. Is the vacuum bell safe for children?

Yes. When used under proper guidance, the EMK vacuum bell is safe for pediatric patients.

Our intelligent constant‑pressure system features:

• A built‑in high‑sensitivity pressure monitoring module that instantly detects suction status and automatically compensates for pressure fluctuations caused by body movement or minor air leaks — maintaining stable therapeutic pressure for consistent correction.

• A segmented pressure control strategy with differentiated ramp‑up rates across pressure ranges, achieving gradual, gentle negative pressure increase — effectively reducing initial discomfort and significantly improving long‑term wear compliance.

• Personalized maximum pressure limits based on the patient's age, body type, chest structure, and tolerance — automatically preventing over‑pressurization and ensuring a dynamic balance between efficacy and safety.

These features ensure comfort and safety, making it ideal for children.

9. What should I do if the vacuum bell is damaged?

If your device is damaged:

• Contact EMK or an authorized distributor immediately

• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself

• We will provide repair or replacement guidance

Using a damaged device may compromise treatment effectiveness.
