INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Compex Wireless USA is intended to stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve or facilitate muscle 
performance� It is to be used by adults only�

The Compex Wireless USA is not intended for adjunctive therapy in the treatment of medical diseases and 
conditions of any kind� None of the Compex Wireless USA stimulation programs are designed for injured or 
disease afflicted muscles� Its use on such muscles is contraindicated� The work imposed on the muscles by the 
Compex Wireless USA programs is definitely not suitable for rehabilitation and physiotherapy�

The Compex Wireless USA electrical impulses allow the triggering of action potentials on motoneurones of 
motor nerves (excitations)� These excitations of motoneurones are transmitted to the muscle fibers via the motor 
endplate where they generate mechanical muscle fiber responses that correspond to muscle work� Depending 
on the parameters of the electrical impulses (pulse frequency, duration of contraction, duration of rest, total 
session duration), different types of muscle work can be imposed on the stimulated muscles�

The Compex Wireless USA may therefore be considered a technique of muscle training�

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Never use the Compex Wireless USA on:

•  Painful muscles

•  Atrophied muscles

•  Muscles with spasms

•  Muscles associated with a limb with a painful or afflicted joint

Do not use the Compex Wireless USA:

•  For muscle reeducation

•  To prevent or retard disuse atrophy

•  To prevent venous thrombosis

•  To maintain or increase range of motion

•  For muscle spasms

•  For blood flow deficiencies
