PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE COMPEX WIRELESS UNIT
• After trauma or a recent operation (less than 6 months prior)
• Muscle atrophy
• Persistent pain
• Need for muscle rehabilitation
NEVER APPLY THE ELECTRODES:
• Near the head
• On the front and sides of the neck.
• Contralaterally, i.e. do not use two poles connected to the same channel on opposite sides of the body.
• On or near injuries of any kind (wounds, swelling, burns, irritations, eczema, cancerous lesions etc.).
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE ELECTRODES
• Only use electrodes supplied by Compex. Other electrodes may have electrical properties that are unsuitable for the Compex Wireless unit
and may damage it. Caution should always be exercised with current densities greater than 2mA/cm2.
• Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes during a session.
• Do not immerse the electrodes in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
• Do not attempt to place electrodes on any part of the body which is not directly visible without assistance.
• For best results, wash and clean the skin of any oil and dry it before attaching the electrodes.
• When attaching the electrodes, please ensure that the entire surface is in contact with the skin.
• For obvious reasons of hygiene, each user must have his/her own set of electrodes. Do not use the same electrodes on different people.
• Never use a set of adhesive electrodes for more than 15 sessions as their bonding power deteriorates over time and optimal contact is very
important for both user comfort and stimulation efficacy.
• Some people with very sensitive skin may experience redness under the electrodes after a session. Generally, this redness is completely
harmless and disappears after 10 to 20 minutes. However, avoid starting a stimulation session on the same area until the redness is no
longer visible.
• Please consult the instructions for use and storage on the electrode packaging.
