Where never to apply the electrodes
• In the vicinity of the head.
• Contralaterally, i.e.: do not use two poles connected to the same channel on opposite
sides of the body.
• On or near skin lesions of any kind (wounds, swelling, burns, irritation, eczema, etc.).
Precautions when using the electrodes
• Only use electrodes supplied by Compex. Other electrodes may have electrical
properties that are unsuitable for the Compex stimulator.
• Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrodes during a
session.
• Do not place the electrodes in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.
• For best results, wash and clean the skin of any oil and dry it before attaching the
electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes in such a way that their entire surface is in contact with the skin.
• For obvious reasons of hygiene, each user must have his/her own electrode set. 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 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. Never start another stimulation session in the same area, however, if
the redness is still visible.
