3. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

• Use only CEFAR-approved vaginal and anal probes intended for electrical stimulation.
6
• The stimulator may only be operated after instructions from medically trained personnel.
• The treatment is a personal ordination. Do not lend probes or stimulator to anyone else
• Only Cefar accessories should be used with the stimulator.
WARNINGS
For internal use with a vaginal/anal probe
• People with implanted electronic equipment, such as pacemakers and intracardiac defibrillators, must not be
treated with CEFAR PERISTIM PRO.
• Pregnant women must not be treated with the urology programs.
• People with extra-urethral incontinence (fistula, ectopic ureter) must not be treated with the urology programs.
• People with overflow incontinence due to outflow obstacle must not be treated with the urology programs.
• People with serious retention of urine in the upper urinary tract must not be treated with the urology programs.
• People with complete peripheral denervation of the pelvic floor must not be treated with the urology programs.
• Stimulation should not take place while the user is connected to high-frequency surgical equipment. It may cause
burn injuries on the tissue, as well as problems with the stimulator.
• Do not use the stimulator in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave therapy equipment, since this may affect the
output power of the stimulator.
• Keep the stimulator out of reach of children.
CAUTION
For internal use with a vaginal/anal probe
• Patients with total/subtotal prolapsed uterus/vagina should be stimulated with greatest caution.
• Patients with urinary tract infections must be treated and clear of infection before starting therapy with the urol-
ogy programs. Consult your doctor.
• If tissue irritation should occur, treatment should be temporarily discontinued. If problems continue, contact your
health care provider. Hypersensitivity can occur in isolated cases. The problem usually disappears when probes or
gel are changed to another type.
• Observe caution when using electrotherapy at the same time as the patient is connected to monitoring equip-
ment with body worn electrodes. The stimulation might interfere with the signals to the monitoring equipment.
• Never open the battery cover during stimulation in order to avoid electrical shock.
• Turn off the stimulation or make sure that the amplitude for each channel is 0,0 mA before touching or removing
the probes. Getting electrical stimulation through the fingers is unpleasant but not harmful.
• Observe caution when stimulating in the immediate vicinity of cellular phones that are switched on, since this
may affect the output power of the stimulator.
For external use with surface electrodes
