4. Maintenance
o clean your unit, use a soft duster
T
and an alcohol-based cleaning pro-
duct, which does not contain any sol-
vents. In fact, solvents could damage
the plastic parts, especially the panel
covering the screen of your Compex.
he user must not attempt any re-
T
pairs to the device or any of its acces-
sories. Never dismantle the Compex
or the charger containing high-vol-
tage parts because of risk of electric
discharge.
ompex Médical SA declines all
C
responsibility for damages and
consequences resulting from any
attempt to open, modify or repair the
device or any of its components by a
person or a service centre not
officially approved by Compex
Médical SA.
ompex stimulators do not require
C
calibration or verification of perfor-
mance parameters. The characteris-
tics are systematically verified and
validated for each device manufactu-
red. These characteristics are stable
and do not vary when used under
normal conditions.

must refer to local legislation for in-
formation related to maintenance.
Normally, these laws require verifica-
tion of certain criteria at regular inter-
vals.
5. Storage conditions
he Compex contains rechargeable
T
batteries and so the storage condi-
tions must not exceed the following
figures:
TempérStorage temperature from -20°C to 45°
Max. relative humidity
Atmospheric pressure
6. Use conditions

7. Elimination
or environmental protection and ac-
F
cording to the country's national re-
quirements, the device, the battery
and the accessories have to be elimi-
nated with special waste.
8. Standards
he Compex is based directly on me-
T
dical technology.
o guarantee your safety, the design,
T
manufacturing and distribution of
Compex are in conformity with the
requirements of the European Direc-
tive 93/42/CEE.
he device is in conformity with the
T
standard for general safety rules for
electromedical devices IEC 60601-1,
the standard for electromagnetic
compatibility IEC 60601-1-2 and the
standard for special safety rules for
nerve and muscle stimulators IEC
60601-2-10.
urrent international standards (IEC
C
60601-2-10 AM1 2001) require that a
warning be given concerning the ap-
plication of electrodes to the thorax
(increased risk of cardiac fibrillation).
