Caution:

  The 

Sure  PRO

 

vaginal  probe  is  intended  for 

single  patient  use  only.  Do  not  share 
your 

Sure PRO

 probe with anyone else. 

Improper  treatment  or  cross-infection 
may occur.

  

Caution: 

This 

probe 

is 

intended  for  single  orifice  use 

only  (intra-vaginal  or  intra-anal  use). 

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

injury.

  

Caution:

 Do not use a silicone 

based  lubricant  on  the  metal 

plates of the probe as it may decrease 
the  effectiveness  of 

Sure  PRO

’s 

muscle stimulation.  

Caution:

 The stainless steel in 

the probe’s metal plates contain 

some  Nickel.  This  could  cause  a 
reaction  if  you  have  a  Nickel  allergy. 

Alternative  gold  probe  specially  made 
without Nickel is available (see X-VPG). 

Use with 

caution

 if you have a 

copper 

IUD. 

If  discomfort 

occurs, 

discontinue 

treatment 

immediately  and  ask  your  healthcare 
professional for advice.

 There is a small 

risk of stimulating the uterine wall if the 
IUD is not correctly positioned. 

Caution:

  Do  not  use  this 

device with vaginal probe, anal 

probe  or  electrode  pads  other  than 
those 

recommended 

by
