CAUTION
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRODES
• Only use electrodes supplied by DJO, LLC. Other electrodes may have electrical properties
that are unsuitable for the Compex® Wired 3.0 stimulator.
• Do not use electrodes with a surface < 19 cm² (2.94 in²), as there will be a risk of suffering a burn
injury. Caution should always be exercised with current densities > 2mA/cm² (12.9mA/in²).
• Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes during a session.
• Do not place the electrodes in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
• For best results, wash and clean the skin of any oil and dry it before attaching the electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with the skin.
• For obvious reasons of hygiene, each user must have his/her own electrode set. Do not use
the same electrodes on different people.
• The durability of electrodes depends entirely on the application, storage, humidity and care
on the part of the user.
• Some people with very sensitive skin may experience redness under the electrodes after
a session. Generally, this redness is completely harmless and disappears after 10 to 20
minutes. Never start another stimulation session in the same area, however, if the redness is
still visible.
• Do not use on anything other than intact skin
