The following are extracts from a VA study documenting the safety of the PIE* Procedure for one time or ongoing use every other day.
Electrolytes Disturbed?

Concerned about whether or not the PIE* Procedure will cause Autonomic Dysreflexia?
The Chart below was taken from this same study.
Autonomic Dysreflexia?
The PIEE Procedure shows a positive improvement regarding vital signs (reflective
of autonomic dysreflexia with respect to prior bowel programs).Figure 1

Very Interesting Information!
We owe the Veterans Administration a BIG THANK YOU for all the fine work they
have done using the PIE* System/Procedure/Therapy proving that the PIE* is
a thoroughly safe medical device.
Let's download the paperwork you will need for your Physician's orders so
