9. Problems and solutions
Electrode fault
The Compex bleeps and alternatively
displays the symbol of a pair of electrodes
and an arrow pointing to the channel
where a problem has been detected. In
the example above, the stimulator has
detected an error in channel 1.
• Check that electrodes are connected to
this channel.
• Check whether the electrodes are old,
worn, and/or the contact is poor: try
using new electrodes.
• Try using the stimulation cable on a
different channel. If the cable is still
showing a fault, replace it.
Stimulation is not producing the
usual sensation
• Check that all the settings are correct
and ensure the electrodes are positioned
properly.
• Change the positioning of the electrodes
slightly.
The stimulation effect causes
discomfort
• The electrodes are beginning to lose
adhesion and no longer provide good
contact on the skin.
• The electrodes are worn and need to be
replaced.
• Change the positioning of the electrodes
slightly.
The stimulator is not working
• If an error screen appears while the
equipment is in use, note the error number
(in the example in fig. 15, error 1/0/0) and
contact the consumer service stated and
approved by Compex Médical SA.
