IV USAGE GUIDELINES
The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as general rules.
For all programs, it is recommended that you read carefully the usage information and
advice presented in chapters 6 and 7.
Placement of electrodes
For optimal results, use the electrode positions recommended by Compex. To do this, refer to
the pictures and pictograms shown on the inside cover of the manual.
Each stimulation cable has two poles:
A positive pole (+) = red connection
A negative pole (-) = black connection
A different electrode must be connected to each pole.
NOTE: It is possible and normal to have an electrode arrangement that leaves one
electrode connection free from a cable.
Depending on the characteristics of the current, efficacy can be optimised in certain
programs by placing the electrode connected to the positive pole (red connection)
"strategically".
For the objectives in the Personal Trainer category, which force muscles to contract, it is
important to place the positive electrode on the motor point of the muscle.
It is crucial to choose the right size of electrodes (large or small) and correctly position
these on the muscle group you want to stimulate so as to ensure the efficacy of the
treatment. Therefore, always use the size of electrodes shown in the pictures. Unless
you have other specific medical instructions, always follow the placement directions in
the pictures. Where necessary, look for the best possible position by slowly moving the
positive electrode over the muscle until you find the point that will produce the best
contraction or the most comfort for you.
Compex disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from
electrodes placed in other positions.
