PROBE CAUTIONS:
Caution:
The
perfect PFE
vaginal probe is intended for
single patient use only. Do not share
your
perfect PFE
probe with anyone
else.
Improper treatment or cross-
infection may occur.
Caution:
It is important that the
vaginal probe is cleaned after
each use.
Ineffective cleaning may lead
to irritation or infection.
Caution:
Never
insert
or
remove vaginal probe unless
the control unit is powered OFF as
insertion or removal when stimulation is
active may cause discomfort or tissue
irritation.
Caution:
If tissue irritation
occurs, discontinue treatment
immediately.
Ask your healthcare
professional
for
advice
before
continuing further treatment to prevent
injury.
Caution:
Do not use a silicone
based lubricant on the metal
plates of the probe as it may decrease
the effectiveness of

muscle stimulation.
Caution:
The stainless steel in
the

contain some Nickel. This could cause
a reaction if you have a Nickel allergy.
Alternative gold probe specially made

should be used if you
have
a

If
discomfort
occurs,
discontinue
treatment immediately and ask your
healthcare professional for advice.

uterine wall if the IUD is not correctly
positioned.
