3. Guarantee

T he Compex stimulators are
contractually covered with a gua-
rantee of 2 (two) years.
The Compex guarantee comes
into effect on the date of pur-
chase of the device.
The Compex guarantee applies
to the 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
device was damaged further to a
shock, an accident, a false opera-
tion, an insufficient protection
against the humidity, a dumping
or a repair not made by our after-
sales services.
The guarantee is valid only on
presentation of proof of purchase.
L egal rights are not affected by
this guarantee.

4. Maintenance

T o clean your unit, use a soft dus-
ter and an alcohol-based cleaning
product, which does not contain
any solvents.
T he user must not attempt any re-
pairs to the device or any of its
accessories. Never dismantle the
Compex containing high-voltage
parts because of risk of electric
discharge.
C ompex Médical SA declines all
responsibility for damages and
consequences resulting from any
attempt to open, modify or repair
8
the device or any of
components by a person or a
service centre not officially
approved by Compex Médical
SA.
C ompex stimulators do not re-
quire calibration or verification of
performance parameters. The
characteristics are systematically
verified and validated for each
device manufactured. These cha-
racteristics are stable and do not
vary when used under normal
conditions.
If your device seems not to func-
tion as expected, regardless of the
situation, contact an official Com-
pex service centre for assistance.
Medical and health professionals
must refer to local legislation for
information related to mainte-
nance. Normally, these laws re-
quire verification of certain
criteria at regular intervals.
5. Storage and
transportation

T he storage and transportation
conditions must not exceed the
following figures:
Storage and transportation temperature
from -20°C (-4°F) to 45°C (113°F)

6. Use conditions

Temperature of use: from 0°C (33°F)
to 40°C (104°F)
Max. relative humidity: from 30% to
75%
Atmospheric pressure: from 700 hPa

Do not use in an explosion risk
area.

7. Elimination

T he Directive 2002/96/CEE
(WEEE) has a first priority, the
prevention of waste electrical
and electronic equipment, and in
addition, the re-use, recycling
and other forms of recovery of
such wastes so as to reduce the
disposal of waste.
The pictogram wheeled bin bar-
red means that the equipment
can not be thrown with the hou-
sehold refuse, but that it makes
the object of a selective collec-
tion. The equipment has to be
given to a suitable collection
point for the treatment.
By this way, you contribute to
the safeguarding of the natural
resources and the human health
protection.
Batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with your country's
national laws governing the dis-
posal of such items.
Batteries must never be disposed of
in a fire. There is a risk of explo-
sion.

8. Standards

T he Compex is based directly on
medical technology.
T o guarantee your safety, the
design, manufacturing and distri-
bution of Compex are in confor-
mity with the requirements of the
European Directive 93/42/CEE.
The device is in conformity with
the standard for general safety
rules for electromedical devices
IEC 60601-1, the standard for
electromagnetic compatibility
IEC 60601-1-2 and the standard
for special safety rules for nerve
and muscle stimulators IEC
60601-2-10.
Current international standards
(IEC 60601-2-10 AM1 2001) re-
quire that a warning be given
concerning the application of
electrodes to the thorax (increa-
sed risk of cardiac fibrillation).
