I INTRODUCTION

Please read this manually carefully prior to using your One stimulator. You are strongly advised to read Chapter 2 of this manual. One is a stimulator intended for muscular training and pain relief. Any person excepted those mentioned in the Chapter 2 "Warnings" can use the One stimulator.

II WARNINGS

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Contraindications

• Cardiac stimulator (pacemaker)

• Epilepsy

• Pregnancy (do not use on abdominal region)

• Serious arterial circulation disorders in lower limbs

• Abdominal or inguinal hernia

Osteosynthesis equipment

The presence of osteosynthesis equipment (metallic equipment in contact with the bone: pins, screws, plates, prostheses, etc.) is not a contraindication. The electrical

currents of the One stimulator are specially designed to have no harmful effect on osteosynthesis equipment.

Important!

• Do not use One stimulator programmes if you have sensitivity problems.

• Never use the One stimulator for prolonged periods without medical advice.

• Consult your doctor if you are in any doubt whatsoever.

• Read this manual carefully, in particular chapter 7, which provide information

concerning the effects and indications of each stimulation programme

One - User Manual

SAFETY MEASURES

• Do not apply stimulation near the area of an implant, such as cochlear, pacemakers, skeletal or electrical.

• Do not apply stimulation in the vicinity of metal. Remove jewellery, body piercings, buckles or any other removable metallic product or device in the area of stimulation.

• If pregnant or menstruating, do not place electrodes directly over the uterus or connect pairs of electrodes across the abdomen.

• Do not use the One stimulator in water or in a humid atmosphere (sauna, hydrotherapy, etc.).

• Do not use the One stimulator in an oxygen-rich atmosphere.

• Never carry out an initial stimulation session on a person who is standing. The first five

minutes of stimulation must always be performed on a person who is sitting or lying down. In rare instances, very highly strung people may have a vagal reaction. This is of psychological origin and is connected with a fear of the muscle stimulation as well as surprise at seeing one of their muscle contracts without having intentionally contracted it themselves. This vagal reaction produces a feeling of weakness with a fainting tendency, slowing down of the heart rate and a reduction in arterial blood pressure. If this does occur, all that is required is to stop the stimulation and lie down with the legs raised for the time it takes for the feeling of weakness to disappear (5 to 10 minutes).

• Never allow movement resulting from muscular contraction during a stimulation session. You should always stimulate isometrically; this means that the extremities of the limb in which a muscle is being stimulated must be firmly fixed, so as to prevent the movement that results from contraction.

• Do not use the One stimulator if you are connected to a high-frequency surgical instrument as this could cause skin irritation or burns under the electrodes.

• Do not use the One stimulator within one metre of short wave or microwave devices as this could alter the currents generated by the stimulator. If you are in any doubt as to the use of the stimulator close to another medical device, seek advice from the manufacturer of the latter or from your doctor.

• Muscular atrophy

• Persistent pain

• Need for muscular rehabilitation

WHERE NEVER TO APPLY THE ELECTRODES

• In the vicinity of the head.

• At the front and side areas of the neck.

• Contralaterally, i.e. do not use two poles connected to the same channel on opposite sides of the body.

• On or near skin lesions of any kind (wounds, swelling, burns, irritation, eczema, cancer lesion, etc.).

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING THE ELECTRODES

• Only use electrodes supplied by Compex. Other electrodes may have electrical properties that are unsuitable for the One stimulator. Caution should always be exercised with current densities greater than 2mA/cm2.

• Always turn off the stimulator before moving or removing any electrode during a session.

• Do not place the electrodes in water.

• Do not apply solvents of any kind to the electrodes.

• Do not attempt to place electrodes on any part of the body not directly visible without assistance.

• For best results, wash and clean the skin of any oil and dry it before attaching

the electrodes.

One - User Manual

• 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 electrodes set. Do

not use the same electrodes on different people.

• Never use a set of adhesive electrodes for more than 15 sessions as the quality of the contact between the electrode and the skin, which is important for the comfort and effectiveness of stimulation, progressively degrades.

• 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. However never start another stimulation session in the same area if the redness is still visible.

IV HOW DOES

ELECTROSTIMULATION WORK?

The principle of electrostimulation is to stimulate nerve fibres by means of electrical impulses transmitted by electrodes. The electrical pulses generated by stimulators designed by Compex are high quality pulses - offering safety, comfort and efficiency which can stimulate different types of nerve fibres:

1. The motor nerves, to stimulate a muscular response. The quantity and the

benefits obtained depend on the stimulation parameters and this is known as electromuscular stimulation (EMS).

2. Certain types of sensitive nerve fibres to obtain analgesic or pain-relieving effects.

1. Motor nerve stimulation (EMS)

In voluntary activity, the order for muscular work comes from the brain, which sends a command to the nerve fibres in the form of an electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted to the muscle fibres, which contract. The principle of electrostimulation accurately reproduces the process observed during a voluntary contraction. The stimulator sends an electrical current impulse to the nerve fibres, exciting them. This excitation is then transmitted to the muscle fibres causing a basic mechanical response (= muscular twitch). The latter constitutes the basic requirement for muscular contraction. This muscular response is completely identical to muscular work controlled by the brain. In other words, the muscle cannot distinguish whether the command comes from the brain or from the stimulator.

The parameters of the programmes (number of impulses per second, contraction time, rest time, total programme time) subject the muscles to different types of work, depending on the muscle fibres. In fact, different types of muscle fibres may be distinguished according to their respective contraction speed: slow, intermediate and fast fibres. The fast fibres will obviously predominate in a sprinter, while a marathon runner will have more slow fibres. With a good knowledge of human physiology and a perfect mastery of the stimulation parameters of the various programmes, muscular work can be directed very precisely towards the desired goal (muscular reinforcement, increased blood flow, firming up, etc.).

One - User Manual

2. Stimulation of the sensory nerves

The electrical impulses can also excite the sensory nerve fibres to obtain an analgesic or pain relieving effect. The stimulation of the tactile sensory nerve fibres blocks the transmission of pain by the nervous system. The stimulation of another type of sensory fibres creates an increase in the production of endorphins and, therefore, a reduction in pain. With pain relief programmes, electrostimulation can be used to treat localised acute or chronic pain as well as muscle pain.

Attention : Do not use the pain relief programmes for a long period without medical

advice.

Benefits of electrostimulation

Electrostimulation is a very effective way to make your muscles work:

• with significant improvement of different muscle qualities

• without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue

• with limited stress on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a greater quantity of work to be done by the muscles compared with voluntary activity.

To be effective, this work must involve the greatest possible number of muscle fibres. The number of fibres that are working depends on the stimulation energy. It will therefore be necessary to use the maximum tolerable energy. The user controls this aspect of stimulation. The higher the stimulation energy, the greater the number of muscle fibres that are working and, therefore, the more significant the progress achieved. To maximize your results, Compex recommends that you complement your electrostimulation sessions with other efforts, like:

• regular physical exercise

• proper and healthy nutrition

• balanced lifestyle

One - User Manual

V USAGE GUIDELINES

The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as general rules.

For all programmes, it is recommended that you read carefully the usage information and advice presented in chapter 7.

Placement of electrodes

For optimal results, use the electrode positions recommended. Each stimulation cable has two poles:

A positive pole (+) = red connection

A negative pole (-) = black connection

A different electrode must be connected to each pole.

Note: It is possible and normal to have an electrode arrangement that leaves one electrode connection free from a cable.

Depending on the characteristics of the current, efficacy can be optimised in certain programmes by placing the electrode connected to the positive pole (red connection)

"strategically".

For programmes which force muscles to contract, it is important to place the positive electrode on the motor point of the muscle. It is crucial to choose the right size of electrodes (large or small) and correctly position these on the muscle group you want to stimulate so as to ensure the efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, always use the size of electrodes shown in the pictures. Unless you have other specific medical instructions, always follow the placement directions in the pictures. Where necessary, look for the best possible position by slowly moving the positive electrode over the muscle until you find the point that will produce the best contraction or the most comfort for you.

Compex disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from electrodes placed in

other positions.

One - User Manual

Stimulation positions

This position will vary depending on the position of the electrodes, the muscle group you wish to stimulate, and the programme you are using. For programmes which involve powerful muscular contractions, the muscle should always be stimulated in an isometric way. You must therefore fix the extremities of your limbs securely. In this way,

you provide maximum resistance to the movement and prevent any shortening of the

muscle during the contraction, which could create cramp pains and serious stiffness after the session. For example, when stimulating the quadriceps, the user should be in a seated position with the ankles fixed with straps to prevent extension of the knees.

For programmes, which do not induce powerful muscle contractions, but only muscle twitches, position yourself as comfortably as possible.

Adjusting stimulation energies

In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibres depends on the stimulation energy. For programmes which involve powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use maximum stimulation energies (up to 694), always at the limit that you can endure, in order to recruit the maximum number of fibres.

Problems and solutions

Electrode fault

The device "bleeps" and alternatively displays the symbol of a pair of electrodes and an arrow pointing to the channel where a problem has been detected. In the example above, the stimulator has detected an error in channel 1.

• Check that electrodes are connected to this channel.

• Check whether the electrodes are old, worn, and/or the contact is poor: try using new

electrodes.

• Try using the stimulation cable on a different channel. If the cable is still showing a fault, replace it (www.compexstore.com).

Stimulation is not producing the usual sensation

• Check that all the settings are correct and ensure the electrodes are positioned

properly.

• Change the positioning of the electrodes slightly.

The stimulation effect causes discomfort

• The electrodes are beginning to lose adhesion and no longer provide good contact on the skin.

• The electrodes are worn and need to be replaced.

• Slightly change the positioning of the electrodes. The stimulator is not working

• If an error screen appears while the equipment is in use, note the error number (in the

example error 1/0/0) and contact the consumer service approved by Compex.

Build your pecs

To obtain well developed pectoral muscles you should subject them to intensive workout. In voluntary training, this type of work involves exercises with heavy loads in a fitness centre. But this kind of work can be traumatic for the joints and tendons involved. “Build your pecs” programme is the perfect solution for working on these

muscles and achieve a harmonious development of muscular volume.

Length: 6 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Having completed the programme, you may continue with 1 session/week as maintenance.

Stimulation energy: maximum bearable energy.

Get stronger quads

The quadriceps muscles are among those placed under the greatest stress during

locomotory movement such as walking, and to an even greater extent during physical activities that involve running, jumping, movement through water, etc. A sedentary lifestyle impairs the quality of these muscles. The specific stimulation imposed by “Get stronger quads” programme increases the strength of these muscles and provides a

greater force gain than voluntary training.

One - User Manual

Reviving massage

This programme is indicated for reducing unpleasant muscle tension and creating

a relaxing sensation of well-being, in particular after a tiring day. It induces a state of optimal, very pleasant relaxation.

Stimulation energy: increase the stimulation energy gradually until you obtain clearly visible muscular twitches.

For Her Cut your abs

To maintain or restore a satisfactory body image, stimulation of the abdominal muscles is of particular relevance. In fact, the tone of the muscle fibres of which these muscles are formed normally enables the muscles to support and hold the organs in place. When the tone becomes inadequate due to lack of appropriate physical activity, their supporting role is not properly assured, which has negative consequences for the figure. “Cut your abs” programme subjects the abdominal belt muscles to appropriate and progressive stimulation, thus enabling a slimmer waist and firmer stomach to be

regained.

Length: 6 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Having completed the programme, you may continue with 1 session/week as maintenance.

Stimulation energy: maximum bearable energy.

One - User Manual

Firm your arms

The anatomical region of the arms, particularly the triceps muscles, is a location where fat readily accumulates and the skin easily becomes saggy. This sagging is in part due to muscular insufficiency and to the particular thinness of the skin. The natural ageing of the skin is resulting in a progressive sagging of the tissues and a flabby appearance that is most frequently visible on the posterior part of the arms. “Firm yours arms” programme offers a progressive stimulation of the arm muscles, which is able to restore

good muscle tone.

Length: 6 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Having completed the programme, you may continue with 1 session/week as maintenance.

Electrode position:

Stimulation energy: maximum bearable energy.

Shape your buttocks

The buttocks are one of the so-called "problem areas" of the female body. This is due to the elasticity of the tissues and the specific structure of the adipose cells. These two phenomena favour the accumulation of fat and water, resulting in flabbiness and an orange-peel appearance. “Shape your buttocks” programme consists of making the buttock muscles work and subjecting them to the specific activity required to improve their firmness and give the buttocks a rounded and sculpted appearance.

Length: 6 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Having completed the programme, you may continue with 1 session/week as maintenance.
