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
degrease 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-
tion session. Generally, this redness
is completely harmless and disap-
pears after 10 to 20 minutes.
