STIMULATION POSITIONS
This position will vary depending on the position of the electrodes, the muscle group you
wish to stimulate, and the program you are using. For programs involving powerful muscular
contractions, the muscle should always be stimulated in an isometric fashion. You must
therefore fix the extremities of your limbs securely. In this way, you provide maximum resistance
to the movement and prevent any shortening of the muscle during the contraction, which could
create cramp pains and serious stiffness after the session.
For example, when stimulating the quadriceps, the user should be in a seated position with the
ankles fixed with straps to prevent extension of the knees.
For other types of programs (for example, the Training Recovery program), which do not involve
powerful muscular contractions, position yourself as comfortable as possible.
ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES
In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibers depends on the stimulation energy.
With a lower current intensity, there are fewer working fibers. With a higher current intensity
the number of working fibers is increased.
For programs involving powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use maximum
stimulation energies (up to 999), always at the limit that you can endure, in order to recruit the
maximum number of fibers.
PROGRESSION IN THE LEVELS
In general, it is not advisable to go through the different levels quickly with the intention of
reaching level 5 as fast as possible. In fact, the different levels correspond to progress with
electrostimulation.
The goal is to progress through the electrical intensities and then through the levels. The more
numerous the muscle fibers you stimulate, the more numerous will be the fibers that are going
to progress. But the speed of progress of these fibers and their aptitude for operating at a higher
rating depend on the program and level used, the number of sessions per week, the length of
these sessions and on intrinsic factors specific to each individual.
The simplest and most usual procedure is to start with level 1 and raise the level when changing
to a new stimulation cycle.
At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new cycle at the next level up or do some
maintenance at the rate of 1 session.
ELECTRODE TIPS
Clean and degrease the skin with an alcohol swab or cotton ball with alcohol and then dry it
before applying the pads. For hygiene purposes, do not share your pads with others
When removing your pads from your skin, peel from the side of the pad. Do not pull the pad off
by the wire. When you store your electrode pads after your session, make sure to stick them
on the transparent plastic film provided. Always adhere the pad to the “on” side of the film.
Place the film with the pads back inside the plastic bag, squeeze the excess air out of the bag,
and then completely seal it for storage
SPECIFICATIONS
CLEANING THE UNIT
Do not sterilize the stimulator. To clean your unit, use a soft cloth and an alcohol- based cleaning
product, which does not contain solvents. Solvents could damage the plastic parts, especially
the panel covering the screen of your Compex® Wired 3.0. Use only a minimum amount of liquid
when cleaning the unit.
MAINTENANCE
Do not attempt to repair the stimulator or any of its accessories. Never dismantle the Compex®
Wired 3.0 because of risk of electric shock. DJO, LLC declines all responsibilities for any
damages or consequences resulting from unauthorized attempts to open, modify, or repair the
stimulator. This may only be done by persons or repair services authorized by DJO, LLC.
Your stimulator does not require calibration. Each
Compex® Wired 3.0
stimulator is always tested and
validated prior to distribution. Its characteristics do not vary under normal conditions. Nonetheless, as
the Compex® Wired 3.0 is a high quality electrical instrument, its lifespan depends on the use that is
made of it and the care and maintenance it receives during its lifetime. If your stimulator contains parts
that seem worn or defective, please contact DJO, LLC regarding an upgrade.
STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS
The Compex® Wired 3.0 contains rechargeable battery and so the storage conditions must not
exceed the following figures:
• Storage temperature: from -10°C to 60°C, 14°F to 140°F
• Max relative humidity: 75%
• Atmospheric pressure: from 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
PATENTS
The Compex® Wired 3.0 incorporates several innovations with patents pending.
DISPOSAL
The main purpose of the 2012/19/EU Directive is to prevent the creation of waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and to reduce the amount of waste to be disposed of by encouraging
reuse, recycling, and other forms of recovery.
The wheelie bin pictogram with the bar through it means that the equipment cannot
be discarded with household refuse, but that it must be collected selectively.
The equipment must be delivered to a suitable collection point for treatment. By doing
so, you will be contributing to the safeguarding of natural resources and health.
Batteries must be disposed of in compliance with relevant national regulatory requirements.
