ABOUT COMPEX EDGE
•
Never carry out an initial stimulation session on a person who
is standing. The first five minutes of stimulation must always
be performed on a person who is sitting or lying down. In rare
instances, people of a nervous disposition may experience a
vasovagal reaction. This is of psychological origin and is connected
with a fear of the muscle stimulation as well as surprise at seeing
one of their muscles contract without having intentionally
contracted it themselves. A vasovagal reaction causes heart to
slow down and blood pressure to drop, which can make you feel
weak and faint. If this does occur, all that is required is to stop the
stimulation and lie down with the legs raised until the feeling of
weakness disappears (5 to 10 minutes).
•
Never allow movement resulting from muscular contraction
during a stimulation session. You should always stimulate
isometrically; this means that the extremities of the limb in which
a muscle is being stimulated must be firmly fixed, so as to prevent
the movement that results from contraction.
•
Do not use the Compex Edge if you are connected to a
high-frequency surgical instrument as this could cause skin
irritation or burns under the electrodes.
•
Never use the Compex Edge or the charger if it is damaged (case,
cables, etc.) or if the battery compartment is open. There is a risk
of electric shock.
•
Disconnect the charger immediately if the Compex Edge "bleeps"
continuously, if there is abnormal heating or smell, or if smoke
comes from the charger or the Compex Edge.
•
Do not recharge the battery in a confined space (carrying case,
etc.). There is a risk of fire or electric shock.
•
Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 9,842 feet (3,000
meters).
