Description
The Sure PRO Pelvic Floor Exerciser is an easy-to-use, flexible pelvic floor exerciser with a wide range of preset and manual programs - providing relief from stress, urged and mixed incontinence as well as improving sexual wellbeing.
Pelvic floor exercisers are one of the most effective forms of continence management and provide a discreet, affordable and long-term solution for incontinence sufferers.
The Sure PRO has 12 preset and 3 manual programmes. In addition to the standard settings, it has special programmes for transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) for urge incontinence.
The manual programmes can be adjusted by healthcare professionals to the specific needs of the patient.

Warnings and Cautions
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
- Do NOT use if you are or may be pregnant. It is not known whether TENS may affect foetal development.
- Do NOT use with optional electrode pads if you have a pacemaker (or if you have a heart rhythm problem) or with any electronic medical devices. Using this unit with electronic medical devices may cause erroneous operation of the device.
- Stimulation in the direct vicinity of an implanted device may affect some models.
- Stimulation on the front of the neck can affect your heart rate.
- Very strong stimulation across the chest may cause an extra heartbeat.
- Do NOT use in the first 6 weeks following a pelvic surgery or vaginal 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.
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.
- Simultaneous connection to high frequency surgical equipment may result in burns and damage to the stimulator.
- Strong electromagnetic fields (electrosurgery/ microwave cookers/ mobile phones) may affect the correct operation of this unit. If it appears to behave unusually, move it away from these devices.
- Do not permit use by persons unable to understand the instructions or persons with cognitive disabilities, i.e.; Alzheimer’s disease or dementia.
- Insertion of the vaginal or anal electrode makes it unsuitable for use in children without clinical supervision.
- Keep away from children under 5 years of age. Long cord - risk of strangulation in infants.
- Caution should be observed when using the Sure PRO at high strength settings. Prolonged use at high settings may cause muscle injury or tissue inflammation.
- No serious or long term adverse effects have been reported. Mild adverse reactions are very rarely reported, but these have included muscular pain and cramps, vaginal tenderness, irritation and bleeding, mild or short term urge or faecal incontinence, and tingling sensation in legs. If you experience any of these, stop use. When symptoms have gone, try resuming at a lower intensity setting.
PROBE CAUTIONS:
- 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.
- This probe is intended for single orifice use only (intra-vaginal or intra-anal use). Improper treatment or cross-infection may occur.
- It is important that the vaginal probe is cleaned after each use. Ineffective cleaning may lead to irritation or infection.
- 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.
- If tissue irritation occurs, discontinue treatment immediately. Ask your healthcare professional for advice before continuing further treatment to prevent injury.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use this device with vaginal probe, anal probe or electrode pads other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Electrodes with smaller surface area may cause tissue irritation.
DO NOT PLACE THE ELECTRODE PADS:
- On skin, which does not have normal sensation. If the skin is numb too great a strength may be used, which could result in skin inflammation.
- On broken skin. The electrode pads could encourage infection.
- On the neck/throat. This could cause respiratory closures and discomfort in breathing. This could also cause blood pressure to drop (vagal discomfort).
- Over the eyes. This can affect sight or cause headaches.
- Across the forehead. The effects on patients subject to stroke and epilepsy are not known.
ELECTRODE PADS CAUTION:
- Do not ignore any allergic reaction to the electrode pads: if a skin irritation develops, stop using TENS, as this type of electrodes may not be suitable for you. Alternative electrode pads specially made for sensitive skin are available.
- Do not use this device with leads or electrode pads other than those recommended by the manufacturer. Performance may vary from specification.
- Electrodes with smaller surface area may cause tissue irritation.
TO KEEP YOUR DEVICE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CAUTIONS:
- Do not immerse your device 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.
- Keep the device away from sunlight, as long-term exposure to sunlight may affect the rubber causing it to become less elastic and crack.
- 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 a bad contact.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the TENS unit. This may affect the safe operation of the unit and will invalidate the warranty.
