Compex in close proximity to any
other medical device, please consult
its manufacturer or your doctor.
■
Only use the electrode cables sup-
plied by Compex.
■
Do not disconnect the stimulator
electrode cables during the session
without first switching off the stimu-
lator.
■
Never connect stimulation cables to
an external electric power supply be-
cause of risk of electric shock.
■
No not use rechargeable batteries
other than the one supplied by Com-
pex.
■
Never recharge the stimulator when
cables and electrodes are still
connected onto the user.
■
Never recharge the batteries with
another charger than the one sup-
plied with the Compex.
■
Never use the Compex or the char-
ger if it is damaged (case, cables,
etc.) or if the compartment for the re-
chargeable battery is open. There is a
risk of electric discharge
■
Disconnect immediately the charger
if the Compex “bleeps” continuously,
in case of abnormal heating or smell,
or if smoke comes from the charger
or the Compex. Do not recharge the
batteries in a confined area (case,
etc.) because of risk of fire or electric
discharge.
■
Keep the Compex and its accesso-
ries out of the reach of children.
■
Do not allow any foreign items
(soil, water, metal, etc.) to enter into
the Compex, the compartment for the
rechargeable battery and the charger.
■
Sudden temperature variations can
create droplets in the device due to
condensation. Use the device only
once it reached ambient temperature.
■
Do not use the Compex while dri-
ving or operating machinery.
■
Do not use the stimulator in the
mountains at an altitude higher than
3.000 metres.
Where you should never apply
electrodes…
■
To the head.
■
Counter-laterally: Do not use the
two poles of the same channel (one
electrode connected to the
positive/red pole and one electrode
connected to the negative/black
pole) on either side of the body cen-
treline (eg: right arm and left arm).
■
To or in the vicinity of skin lesions
of any kind (wounds, inflammations,
burns, irritations, eczema, etc.).
Precautions when using the
electrodes
■
Only use the electrodes supplied
by Compex. Other electrodes may
have electrical properties that are
unsuitable for the Compex stimulator
■
Do not remove or move the elec-
trodes during a stimulation session
without first switching off the instru-
ment.
■
Do not plunge the electrodes into
water.
■
Do not apply a solvent of any kind
to the electrodes.
■
Before applying the electrodes, it
is recommended to wash and de-
grease the skin, and then dry it
■
Apply the whole surface of the
electrodes to the skin.
■
For very important reasons of hy-
giene, each user must have his own
electrode set. Do not use the same
electrodes on different people.
■
Do not use a set of electrodes for
more than fifteen sessions, as the
quality of the contact between the
electrode and the skin, which is im-
portant for the comfort and effective-
ness of stimulation, progressively
degrades.
■
In certain people with very sensi-
tive skin, redness may be observed
under the electrodes after a stimula-
