3. Guarantee

he Compex stimulators are contrac-
T
tually covered with a guarantee of
2 (two) years.
he Compex guarantee comes into
T
effect on the date of purchase of the
device.
he Compex guarantee applies to the
T
stimulator (goods and work) and
does not cover cables and electrodes.
It covers all the defects resulting from
a problem of quality of the material
or from a defective manufacture. The
guarantee does not apply if the de-
vice was damaged further to a shock,
an accident, a false operation, an in-
sufficient protection against the hu-
midity, a dumping or a repair not
made by our after-sales services.
The guarantee is valid only on pres-
entation of proof of purchase.
egal rights are not affected by this
L
guarantee.

4. Maintenance

o clean your unit, use a soft duster
T
and an alcohol-based cleaning prod-
uct, which does not contain any sol-
vents. In fact, solvents could damage
the plastic parts, especially the panel
covering the screen of your Compex.
he user must not attempt any repairs
T
to the device or any of its accessories.
Never dismantle the Compex contain-
ing high-voltage parts because of risk
of electrical discharge.
ompex Médical SA declines all re-
C
sponsibility for damages and conse-
quences resulting from any attempt to
open, modify or repair the device or
any of its components by a person or
a service centre not officially ap-
proved by Compex Médical SA.
ompex stimulators do not require
C
calibration or verification of perform-
88 ance parameters. The characteristics
are systematically verified and vali-
dated for each device manufactured.
These characteristics are stable and
do not vary when used under normal
conditions.
f your device seems not to function
I
as expected, regardless of the situa-
tion, contact an official Compex serv-
ice centre for assistance.
edical and health professionals
M
must refer to local legislation for in-
formation related to maintenance.
Normally, these laws require verifica-
tion of certain criteria at regular
intervals.
5. Storage and
transportation conditions
he storage and transportation condi-
T
tions must not exceed the following
figures:
Storage and transportation temperature: from -
20°C to 45°C
Max. relative humidity: 75%
Atmospheric pressure: from 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Never leave the batteries inside your
device if you do not intend to use it
for a long period of time.

6. Use conditions

Temperature of use: from 0°C to 40°C
Max. relative humidity: from 30% to 75%
Atmospheric pressure: from 700 hPa to 1060 hPa
Do not use in an explosion risk area.

7. Elimination

he Directive 2002/96/CEE (WEEE)
T
has a first priority, the prevention of
waste electrical and electronic equip-
ment, and in addition, the re-use, re-
cycling and other forms of recovery
of such wastes so as to reduce the
disposal of waste.
he pictogram wheeled bin bared
T
means that equipment can not be
thrown with the household refuse,
but that it makes the objet of a selec-
tive collection. The equipment has be
,given to a suitable collection point
for the treatment.
y this way, you contribute to the
B
safeguarding of the natural resources
and the human health protection.
atteries must be disposed of in ac-
B
cordance with your country's national
laws governings the disposal of such
items.
Batteries must never be disposed of in
a fire. There is a risk of explosion.
8. Standards
he Compex is based directly on
T
medical technology.
o guarantee your safety, the design,
T
manufacturing and distribution of
Compex are in conformity with the
requirements of the European Direc-
tive 93/42/CEE.
he device is in conformity with the
T
standard for general safety rules for
electromedical devices IEC 60601-1,
the standard for electromagnetic com-
patibility IEC 60601-1-2 and the stan-
dard for special safety rules for nerve
and muscle stimulators IEC 60601-2-
10.
urrent international standards (IEC
C
60601-2-10 AM1 2001) require that a
warning be given concerning the ap-
plication of electrodes to the thorax
(increased risk of cardiac fibrillation).
