1.3.8 I Deactivation and disposal
Observe the following instructions when deactivating the “Compex Winplate”
vibration device:
You may deliver the device including all accessory items to a waste
disposal service provider specialized on electronic products or capable
of forwarding the device to such a specialist. In countries where the
suppliers are under the obligation of taking back deactivated electronic
devices, you may of course contact your supplier.
Most countries have by now introduced legislation which prevents
consumers from simply throwing their deactivated electronic products
away alongside their ordinary household waste. In the event that you
yourself are responsible for the safe disposal of the system
or that you prefer to do it on your own, we would like to provide you
with the following information:
The components of the “Compex Winplate” vibration device can be
classified as follows:
Vibration plate, handle with electronic unit, cable, straps and soft mat
must be treated like electronic scrap or light chemical waste.
