childbirth.
Stimulation may disrupt the
healing process.
Do NOT use
if you have symptoms of
active urinary tract infection, vaginal
infections,
or
localized
lesions.
Introducing the probe may irritate
sensitive tissue.
Do NOT use
if you have poor sensation
in the pelvic region.
You may not be
able to control the intensity of
stimulation safely.
WARNINGS:
Do NOT use
if you are unable to
properly insert the vaginal or anal
probe. If you have a severe prolapse, or
if any discomfort occurs when inserting
the probe, consult your healthcare
professional before use.
Do NOT use
when driving, operating
machinery, or similar actions needing
muscular control.
Loose electrode
pads, damaged leads, or sudden
changes in contact may cause brief
involuntary muscle movements.
Do NOT use
to mask or relieve
undiagnosed pain.
This may delay
diagnosis of a progressive condition.
Do NOT use
if you have, in the area
being treated: active or suspected
cancer or undiagnosed pain with a
history of cancer.
Stimulation directly
through a confirmed or suspected
malignancy should be avoided as it may
stimulate growth and promote spread of
cancer cells.
Do NOT use
electrodes near the
thorax
as this may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation.
Do NOT use
optional electrodes on the
front of the neck.
Stimulation on the
front of the neck can affect your heart
rate or cause contraction of the throat.
Do NOT use
optional electrodes across
the chest.
Very strong stimulation
across the chest may cause an extra
heartbeat and/or rhythm disturbances
to your heart, which could be lethal.
Do NOT use
iTouch Sure while
simultaneously connected to high
frequency surgical equipment as it may
result in burns at the site of stimulator
electrodes and possible damage to the
stimulator.
Do NOT use
iTouch Sure in close
proximity (e.g. 1 m) to a shortwave or
microwave as this may produce
instability in the stimulator output.
CAUTIONS:
Caution
should be used if you have a
bleeding disorder as stimulation may
increase blood flow to the stimulated
region.
Caution
should be used if you have
suspected or diagnosed epilepsy as
electrical stimulation may affect seizure
threshold.
Caution
should be observed when
using the device at the same time as
being
connected
to
monitoring
equipment with body worn electrode
pads.
It may interfere with the signals
being monitored.
Caution:
Do not permit use by persons
unable to understand the instructions or
persons with cognitive disabilities, i.e.;
Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
Caution:
Insertion of the vaginal or anal
electrode makes it unsuitable for use in
children without clinical supervision
