Caution:
If
tissue
irritation
occurs,
discontinue
treatment
immediately. Ask your healthcare professional for advice before
continuing further treatment to prevent injury.
Caution:
Never insert or remove the vaginal/anal probe unless the
control unit is powered OFF as insertion or removal when stimulation
is active may cause discomfort.
Caution:
Do not use a silicone based lubricant on the stimulation
contacts of the probe as it may decrease the effectiveness of the
muscle stimulation.
Caution:
Strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields (electrosurgery/
microwave cookers/ mobile phones) may affect the correct operation
of this unit - see section 20. If it appears to behave unusually, move
it away from these devices.
Caution:
The stainless steel in the probe electrodes contains some
Nickel. This could cause a reaction if you have a Nickel allergy. The
Liberty Gold Vaginal Probe (X-VPG) can be used as an alternative
for those with particular reactions to base metals.
Caution:
Do not use this device with vaginal/anal probe or self-
adhesive electrodes other than those recommended by the
manufacturer in section 22. Electrodes with smaller surface area
may cause tissue irritation.
Caution:
This
device
may
interfere
with
patient
monitoring
equipment with body-worn electrode pads.
Caution:
Simultaneous connection to high frequency surgical
equipment may result in burns and damage to the stimulator.
Caution:
Do not permit use by children unable to understand the
instructions or persons with cognitive disabilities, i.e.:
Alzheimer’s
disease or dementia.
Caution:
Not suitable for children under 5 years of age. Long cord -
risk of strangulation in infants.
TO KEEP YOUR DEVICE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CAUTIONS:
Caution:
Do not immerse your unit or vaginal/anal probe in water
or place it close to excessive heat such as a fireplace or radiant
heater or sources of high humidity such as a nebulizer or kettle as
this may cause it to cease to operate correctly.
Caution:
Do not attempt to open up or modify the unit. This
may affect the safe operation of the unit and will invalidate the
warranty.
Caution:
Keep the device away from sunlight, as long-term
exposure to sunlight may affect the rubber causing it to become
less elastic and crack.
Caution:
Keep the device away from lint and dust, as long-term
exposure to lint or dust may affect the sockets or cause the battery
connector to develop bad contact.
Note:
You may safely use the stimulator during menstruation,
although it may be a little less comfortable
.
