CefarCompex Rehab 400 Handbuch Seite 3

Precautions when using the elec-
trodes:
• Only use electrodes supplied by Cefar-
Compex. Other electrodes may have
electrical properties that are incom-
patible with the Rehab 400 stimulator.
• Only place electrodes on healthy skin
and never on skin lesions of any kind
(wounds, swelling, burns, irritation,
eczema, etc.).
• Always turn off the stimulator or make
sure that the intensity for each chan-
nel is 0 before moving or removing the
electrodes.
• Do not place the electrodes in water.
• Do not apply solvents of any kind to
the electrodes.
• Do not use electrodes with a surface
< 18 cm , as there will be a risk of
2
suffering a burn injury. Caution should
always be exercised with current
densities > 2mA/cm

• For optimal results, wash, clean and
dry the skin before attaching the
electrodes.
• Attach the electrodes so the entire
surface is in contact with the skin.
• For hygiene reasons, each patient
must have his own set of electrodes.
Never use the same electrodes on dif-
ferent patients.
• Some people with very sensitive
skin may experience redness under
the electrodes after a session. This
redness is generally harmless and
normally disappears within 10 to 20
minutes. Do not start another stimula-
tion session in the same area, as long
as the redness is still visible.
• When the electrodes loose their adhe-
siveness and do not stick properly to
the skin, the stimulation can feel un-
pleasant. Be sure that the electrodes
are in good condition, otherwise they
have to be replaced.
