The Oedema programme begins by looking
for the motor evoked potential (MEP)
threshold in order to calculate the current
intensity that will offer optimal therapeutic
efficacy. While this is happening, the
MEMO symbol will be displayed over any
channels that are connected. To confirm
the MEP threshold, press any of the active
+/- buttons as soon as you see or feel a
motor response.

6 - Denervated programmes
The Denervated programmes
are of the Specific Treatment type.
Although these currents are not used for
therapeutic purposes in the chest region,
international standards require the
inclusion of a warning against attaching
electrodes to this region (increased risk of
cardiac fibrillation).
Compex 3 Denervated programmes
are not contraindicated in patients with
osteosynthesis devices or other metal
implants
Denervated programmes should
only be run with 2.1 mm pin-connector
cables (grey cables supplied with
stimulator) and carbon electrodes (black
electrodes supplied with stimulator). For
optimal results, apply conductor gel to the
electrodes before use.
Do not use snap-connector cables or self-
adhesive electrodes for Denervated
programmes.
There are 4 types of Denervated
treatments.
