Neurostimulation

ll electrical specifications are given

for a charge between 500 and 1000
ohms per channel.

Channels: four independent and individually

adjustable channels electrically insulated from

each other and from ground
Impulse shape: constant rectangular current

compensated to eliminate any direct current

component to avoid any residual skin polarisation
Maximum current of an impulse: 120 milliamperes
Intensity increase interval:

– Manual stimulation intensity adjustment: 0-

999 (energy units)

– Impulse duration: 0.5 mA

From 50 to 400 microseconds
Maximum quantity of electricity per impulse: 96

microcoulombs (2 x 48 µC compensated)
Typical rise time for an impulse

3 microseconds (between 20% and 80% of

maximum current)
Impulse frequency

from 1 to 150 Hertz

8. Standards

he Compex is based directly on medi-

cal technology.

o guarantee your safety, the design,

manufacturing and distribution of Com-
pex are in conformity with the require-
ments of the European Directive
93/42/CEE.

he device is in conformity with the

standard for general safety rules for
electromedical devices IEC 60601-1, the
standard for electromagnetic compatibi-
lity IEC 60601-1-2 and the standard for
special safety rules for nerve and mus-
cle stimulators IEC 60601-2-10.

urrent international standards (IEC

60601-2-10 AM1 2001) require that a
warning be given concerning the appli-
cation of electrodes to the thorax
(increased risk of cardiac fibrillation).

irective 2002/96/CEE Waste electrical

and electronic equipment (WEEE).
