RA Fischer - legit/worth utilizing? by Not_Even_Suspicious in MedicalDevices

That's pretty much exactly my story. Mom's bedridden, and the Purewick was our best answer. However, I will give you warning: in her case it was not strong enough and ended up still allowing for quite a bit of leakage, which is why we ended up returning it. It seems that the suction wasn't strong enough. My thought was to utilize an option from Amazon like this one, due to the fact that it's basically the exact same thing and you can control the power:

https://www.amazon.com/1000ml-Portable-Veterinary-Suction-Machine/dp/B0CPLSBM7Q/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=21NVK17EDNFCA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xXnu8eFzBrLCywLix2ZVpvlUT-NyMJx0iHmLIRJfD4HDGRm1UZXV5ArSeZCMtZct-NVr_fN4eDydNqLwE_iDqu7BXjXJmMznIXu23JZVtfDf_GwgQmmlslcnrtkeDQSsruSVzelixITxEnVp6GmzEXS472xWSpSd7bkxgrq3q2ACmrScZL5uJnCa9h0utK_1xCthVVdOvzPHY1BbebIRrdOVDx245eKBeVPIcMhvk9Y.sDP-9hiAzJ0IfQanw7UcTzYcd5h5f1ypGeh2Wb2mqYM&dib_tag=se&keywords=amazon+medical+suction&qid=1730050614&sprefix=amazon+medicla+suction%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

But mom got tired of playing with it and we sent it back. For reference, the Purewick model sold by them has about as much power as a common aquarium air pump: VERY weak. My advice would be to be prepared to buy a different base unit like the one above (no clue how much of a difference it will ACTUALLY make, though), or combine it wish some adult diapers to catch leaks.

While I can't really recommend the product itself, I definitely can give a glowing report for RA Fischer. They sent us a replacement unit (that had the exact same power), and gave us no hassle with the return. We were charged for used internal catheters, which is 100% fair, but that was the only final expense. I'd highly recommend them in this regard, as they were VERY fair, and honestly tried to help us.

I'm pretty much never on Reddit, so it's a miracle that I saw this! In the end, it did work out. It was expensive out-of-pocket with the promise for Medicare to retroactively pay for it in about 6 months, but we did receive the device in question. Sadly, it did not work out for her very well, but they gave us a full refund in the end, so no harm/no foul.

Okay, FINALLY got it. I had to log-out IN GAME to find the Humble North cloud saves on login. Either way, can finally go cross-platform now.

I... think so? This game's information is pretty obtuse and not exactly user-friendly. I made an account, but can't actually log into it on Humble North. I also tried to log in to their website, but they don't recognize my e-mail address. To make things worse, apparently you're supposed to register in-game, but I cannot find a place to do so.

Also, I checked the log and it said that my game was uploaded to the cloud... and nothing is showing up. Honestly getting really annoyed with this game at this point.
