1. INTRODUCTION
Device Description & Principles of
Design
Bladder leakage and incontinence are
common problems for both women and
men, affecting their long-term health.
Exercising the pelvic floor muscles is
recognised as the way of preventing
and treating symptoms of incontinence
and pelvic floor weakness.
The itouch sure is a powered muscle
stimulator used for strengthening the
pelvic floor muscles.
It sends a gentle stimulation (similar to
your natural nerve impulses) direct to
your pelvic floor muscles through a
vaginal probe with stainless steel
electrodes. These signals make your
pelvic floor muscles contract. If you
have forgotten how to contract them,
are having trouble getting muscle
response, or simply want to bring back
the condition of your pelvic floor
muscles, the itouch sure can work
them for you to build up their strength
and help you to develop your own
muscle control. It perfectly
complements pelvic floor exercises.
The itouch sure is very easy to use,
with four clearly labelled preset training
programmes and a simple push button
control.
The itouch sure provides relief from
conditions such as:
• Urinary and faecal incontinence:
including stress, urge and mixed
types as well as post prostatectomy
urinary incontinence in men.
Additionally, it may help improve
sexual intimacy by toning the pelvic
floor muscles.
• Treatment of erectile dysfunction
in men* and improvement of pelvic
strength (* requires an anal probe).
2. INTENDED USE
Itouch sure is a medical
device designed to be used in
the home healthcare
environment to treat symptoms of
urinary and/or faecal incontinence and
is suitable for use by all who can control
the device and understand the
instructions.
Do not use the device for any purpose
other than this intended use.
Warning: Not suitable for use
in children without medical
supervision.
