V THE
m
TECHNOLOGY
m stands for muscle intelligence™ (all
items referring to this technology are
preceded by the symbol m).
T his technology takes into account the
specific features of each of our muscles
and thus offers stimulation adapted to
their characteristics.
I t’s simple, as the data is transmitted to
the stimulator automatically!
I t’s personalised, as each of our muscles is
unique!
The Performance stimulator bears
the label
m-
READY
, as it can use
certain functions of the m technology
if a stimulation cable fitted with the
m-4 system (sold separately) is
connected.
1. Practical rules of use
To access the m functions make
sure that the stimulation cable fitted with
the
m-4 system (sold separately) is
connected before you turn on the
stimulator.
Avoid connecting the stimulation cable
fitted with the m-4 system when the
Compex is switched on.
T o work correctly, the m-4 system
must not be blocked or subjected to
pressure.
D uring the stimulation session, the
stimulation cable fitted with the m-4
system must always be connected to an
electrode.
m-4 (sold separately)
■ This is a small sensor that links the
stimulator to the electrodes.
m-4 is the key which can be
used to measure certain physiological
characteristics of the muscle, analyse
them and adapt stimulation
parameters. This tailoring of each
programme to the changing
condition of the muscle clearly
enhances your comfort and the
therapeutic efficacy.
m-3
■ This function adapts the
electrostimulation session to the
physiology of each user. Just before
starting the work session, m-3
probes the chosen muscle group and
automatically adjusts the stimulator
parameters to the excitability of this
area of the body. It is a truly
personalised measurement.
N.B.: The m-3 function operates
as soon as a stimulation cable fitted
with the m-4 system (sold
separately) is connected to the
stimulator.
■
This function is implemented at the
start of the programme by a short
sequence during which measurements
are taken (a horizontal bar scans the
figurine at the left of the screen).
■
Throughout the entire measurement
test, you must remain completely still
and be perfectly relaxed. The m-4
system is very sensitive: the smallest
contraction or the slightest movement
could disturb the measurement test.
■
Note that certain people might feel an
unpleasant tingling sensation during
the test.
■
Once the test is complete, the symbol
will appear, indicating that
the programme can be started.
m-5
■
The m-5 function can be used to
considerably reduce the number of
unwanted muscular contractions,
enhancing both user comfort and
treatment efficacy.
■ The m-5 function can only be
accessed for the
Modulated TENS
and Epicondylitis programmes.
■
For these programmes, the m-5
function allows you to control the
stimulation energies while maintaining
