SAFETY GUIDE

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRODES

Only use electrodes supplied by DJO, LLC. Other electrodes may
have electrical properties that are unsuitable for the Compex
Sport Elite stimulator.
Do not use electrodes with a surface < 19 cm2 (2.94 in2), as there
will be a risk of suffering a burn injury. Caution should always be
exercised with current densities > 2mA/cm2 (12.9mA/in2).
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.
