COMPEX 3 User Manual
2 - Connections
A) Connecting the cables
The stimulator cables plug into the 4
sockets on the base of the device.
All 4 cables can be connected simultaneously .
Both the sockets and the cables are
colour-coded to simplify use and facilitate
identification of the different channels:
blue=channel 1 green = channel 2
yellow = channel 3 red = channel 4
The kit includes four snap-connector
cables and four 2,1 mm pin-connector
cables.
NOTE: The pin-connector cables are
designed for use only with Denervated,
Iontophoresis and Hyperhidrosis
programmes.
To connect a snap-connector cable to an
electrode, simply insert the snap end of the
cable into the electrode eyelet and twist it
a quarter turn.
In addition to these standard cables,
Compex 3 comes with 2 special cables
fitted with the m-4 system.
These cables can be connected to any of
the 4 sockets for the stimulation channels,
on the base of the stimulator. Just like the
standard cables, they must also be
connected to 2 electrodes.
B) Connecting the motor
point pen
Never use the motor point pen for any
purposes other than locating the motor
point of the muscle. Follow the instructions
in this manual. Clean and disinfect the tip of
the motor point pen that comes in contact
with the skin before each use.
Apply a small amount of Compex gel to the
skin when looking for the motor point to
enhance patient comfort.
All Compex 3 stimulators are supplied with
a motor point pen designed to help you to
find the exact location of the motor point of
the muscle group(s) you wish to stimulate.
Refer to the picture below to see how to
connect the pen.
Connect the tip of the motor point pen to
the positive connector (red). The other
snap connector (black) must be connected
to a negative electrode already on the
muscle to be stimulated.
For details on how to use the motor point
pen, refer to the chapter “Specific
indications” in the Practical Guide.
