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.
