2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

• IMPLANTED ELECTRONIC DEVICES. Do not use the device if you have a cardiac stimulator, implanted
defibrillator or other implanted electronic/ electrical device. This could cause an electrical shock, burns,
electrical interference or death.
• ELECTRODE PLACEMENT. Do not apply electrostimulation to any area other than the Abdomen or Lower
back
• STIMULATION ACROSS THE TORSO. Do not apply stimulation across the torso (one electrode placed on the
front of the torso and one electrode placed on the back); the electrical current passing through the torso
can cause potentially fatal heart rhythm disturbances

WARNINGS

• DO NOT MODIFY. No changes to the equipment are allowed.
• HUMID ENVIRONMENT. Do not apply stimulation in the bath or shower or sauna. Do not immerse the device
in the water during stimulation.
• FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENT. Do not use the device in places where there is a risk of fire or
explosion, such as oxygen-rich environments, close to flammable anaesthetics, etc.
• ELECTROSURGICAL EQUIPMENT OR DEFIBRILLATORS. Simultaneous connection of a user to a high
frequency surgical Medical Electrical Equipment may result in burns at the site of the stimulator electrodes
and possible damage to the stimulator.
• SHORTWAVE OR MICROWAVE. Do not use the stimulator within a meter of shortwave or microwave devices,
because this could alter the current generated by the stimulator. If in doubt when using the stimulator near
another device, contact the manufacturer of the relevant device.
• ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT. Do not apply stimulation near electronic surveillance equipment
(e.g. cardiac monitors, ECG alarms), as there is a risk they may not work properly whilst the electrical
stimulation device is being used.
• ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION. Do not use the stimulator in an environment where other devices are
being used that intentionally radiate electromagnetic energy in an unshielded manner.
• CONNECTION. Connect to this device only items and equipment that have been specified in the instruction
for use as part of the Medical Electrical System or that have been specified as being compatible with the
Medical Electrical System.
• RADIO FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION. Portable radio frequency communications equipment should be
used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Compex device, including cables specified by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
• EQUIPMENT ADJACENT OR STACKED. Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment
should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and
the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
• DAMAGED DEVICE OR ACCESSORIES. Never use the device or any accessory if they are damaged. Carefully
inspect the device, connectors and garment before each use.
• ACCESSORIES. Only use this device with accessories recommended by Compex. Using other accessories
can harm the performance of the device, cause stronger electromagnetic emissions, or reduce the
electromagnetic immunity of the device.
• MALFUNCTION WHEN CHARGING. Immediately disconnect the charging cable if the device temperature is
raised, if there is an abnormal smell, or if smoke is coming from the system.
