the configuration in which it will be used.
• Use only accessories that are specially designed for the Compex® Wired 3.0. Do not use
accessories manufactured by other companies on the Compex® Wired 3.0. DJO, LLC is not
responsible for any consequence resulting from using products manufactured by other
companies. The use of other accessories or cables may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the Compex® Wired 3.0.
• If you are in the care of a physician, consult with your physician before using this device.
• If you have had medical or physical treatment for your pain, consult with your physician before
using this device.
• If your pain does not improve, becomes more than mild, or continues for more than five days,
stop using the device and consult with your physician.
• The long-term effects of chronic electrical stimulation are unknown.
• Since the effects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be applied
across your head, and electrodes should not be placed on opposite sides of your head.
• Do not apply stimulation over your neck because this could cause severe muscle spasms
resulting in closure of your airway, difficulty in breathing, or adverse effects on heart rhythm
or blood pressure.
• Do not apply stimulation across your chest because the introduction of electrical current into
the chest may cause rhythm disturbances to your heart, which could be lethal.
• Do not apply stimulation over open wounds or rashes, or over swollen, red, infected, or
inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins).
• Do not apply stimulation over, or in proximity to, cancerous lesions.
• Do not apply stimulation in the presence of electronic monitoring equipment (e.g., cardiac
monitors, ECG alarms), which may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation
device is in use.
• Do not apply stimulation when in the bath or shower.
• Do not apply stimulation while sleeping.
• Do not apply stimulation while driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which
involuntary muscle contractions from electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury.
• Do not use the device on children, if it has not been evaluated for pediatric use.
• Consult with your physician before using this device, because the device may cause lethal
rhythm disturbances to the heart in susceptible individuals.
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, clean, healthy skin.
• Do not disconnect any stimulation cables during a session while the stimulator is switched on.
Switch the stimulator off first.
• Do not start stimulation without electrodes.
• Never connect stimulation cables to an external power supply. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Never recharge the stimulator without first disconnecting the stimulation cables.
• 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, people of a nervous disposition may experience a vasovagal 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 muscles contract without having intentionally contracted it themselves. A
vasovagal reaction causes the heart to slow down and blood pressure to drop, which can make
you feel weak and faint. If this does occur, all that is required is to stop the stimulation and lie
down with the legs raised until the feeling of weakness disappears (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.
• Never use the Compex® Wired 3.0 or its accessories if it is damaged (case, cables, etc.).
There is a risk of electric shock.
• Disconnect the charger immediately if the Compex® Wired 3.0 “bleeps” continuously, if there is
abnormal heating or smell, or if smoke comes from the charger or the Compex® Wired 3.0.
• Do not use the stimulator at altitudes of over 9,842 feet (3,000 meters).
• Do not wrap lead wires around your neck, and keep them out of the reach of children.
Strangulation may result from entanglement in the lead wires.
• Stimulation should not be applied over the carotid sinus nerve particularly in patients with a
known sensitivity to the carotid sinus reflex.
• Stimulus delivered by the waveforms of this device, in certain configurations, will deliver
a charge of 25 microcoulombs (μC) or greater per pulse and may be sufficient to cause
electrocution. Electrical current of this magnitude must not flow through the thorax because it
may cause a cardiac arrh ythmia.
• Users with an implanted neurostimulation device must not be treated with or be in close
proximity to any shortwave diathermy, microwave diathermy, therapeutic ultrasound
diathermy or laser diathermy anywhere on their body. Energy from diathermy (shortwave,
microwave, ultrasound and laser) can be transferred through the implanted neurostimulation
system, can cause tissue damage, and can result in severe injury or death. Injury, damage or
death can occur during diathermy therapy even if the implanted neurostimulation system is
turned “off.”
• Handle, clean and dispose of components and accessories that have come in contact with bodily
fluids according to National, Local and Facility rules, regulations and procedures.
CAUTION
• Read, understand, and practice the precautionary and operating instructions found in this
manual. Know the limitations and hazards associated with the treatment table. Observe any
and all precautionary and operational decals placed on the unit.
• Please read the label on the device prior to first use.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
NOTE: You are strongly advised to carefully read the safety precautions and contraindications
described at the start of this manual prior to using your stimulator.
• TENS is a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses the sensation of pain that would
otherwise serve as a protective mechanism.
• Effectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner qualified in the
management of pain patients.
• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established.
• You may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
or electrical conductive medium (gel). The irritation can usually be reduced by using an
alternate conductive medium, or alternate electrode placement.
• If you have suspected or diagnosed heart disease, you should follow precautions
recommended by your physician.

ACCESSORIES & PRODUCTSINTRODUCTION
HOW DOES ELECTROMUSCULAR STIMULATION (EMS) WORK?
The principle of electrostimulation is to stimulate nerve fibers by means of electrical impulses
transmitted by electrodes. The electrical pulses generated by Compex® Wired 3.0 stimulator are
high quality pulses - offering safety, comfort and efficiency.
The motor nerves, to stimulate a muscular response. The quantity and the benefits obtained
depend on the stimulation parameters and this is known as electro- muscular stimulation (EMS).
Electromuscular Stimulation (EMS)
In voluntary activity, the order for muscular work comes from the brain, which sends a command
to the nerve fibers in the form of an electrical signal. This signal is then transmitted to the
muscular fibers, 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 fibers, exciting them. This excitation is then transmitted to the muscular
fibers 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 Compex®
Wired 3.0 programs (number of impulses per second, contraction time, rest time, total program
time) subject the muscles to different types of work, according to muscular fibers. In fact,
different types of muscular fibers may be distinguished according to their respective contraction
speed: slow, intermediate and fast fibers.
Fast fibers will obviously predominate in a sprinter, while a marathon runner will have more slow
fibers. With a good knowledge of human physiology and a perfect mastery of the stimulation
parameters of the various programs, muscular work can be directed very precisely towards the
Each of these four training programs offers five different working levels that enable the amount
of work to be gradually increased.
STRENGTH: The Compex Strength program imposes a high and instantaneous power working
level on muscle fibers during tetanic contractions. These contractions are separated by long
periods of rest. The result is an average medium power working level. This program is intended
to increase the maximum strength of muscle contraction, which is carried out isometrically or
dynamically. It is specifically designed for sports characterized by a need for maximum but
very brief strength contractions. Weight lifting is a typical sport of this kind. This program is
also appropriate for any type of sports requiring a gain in strength on a specific muscle (cycling,
short distance running, soccer, etc.).
ENDURANCE: The Compex Endurance program imposes an average medium working level on
muscle fibers. This working level is maintained over a long period (40 minutes per session).
The Endurance program particularly activates the aerobic metabolism of the fibers during the
stimulation session. The purpose is to increase the time the muscle is able to maintain a medium
level of working power or the average power level the muscle is able to maintain for extended
periods of time. The program may be used in most physical preparations to establish or improve
basic muscle endurance. It is designed to increase the average intensity of muscle effort that
must be maintained over a long period. It is most appropriate for athletes engaged in endurance
sports such as marathon, triathlon, cycling, etc.
RESISTANCE: The Compex® Resistance program imposes an average high power working
level on muscle fibers. This working level is maintained over a short period (12 minutes per
session). The Resistance program activates the anaerobic metabolism of muscle fibers during
the stimulation session and induces the production of lactic acid. It is intended to increase the
time the muscle is able to maintain a high power working level (close to its maximum) or the
average power working level the muscle is able to maintain for a short duration. It is designed
for sporting activities, which are characterized by a need for intense (close to the maximum)
efforts to be maintained or repeated to approach the limit of muscle exhaustion. Sports requiring
this type of effort are, for example, the 400 and 800 meters, one-kilometer cycle races and 100
meters swimming. It is appropriate for many other sports based on duration, such as cycling,
which makes repeated demands on muscle resistance.
EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH: The purpose of the Compex Explosive Strength program is to increase
the speed with which maximum muscle strength can be supplied. It is designed to improve
performance in sporting activities of very brief duration such as jumps, sprints and throwing.
To ensure a progressive approach in the muscle stimulation training, you are strongly advised
not to use this program without having previously worked through a cycle of sessions using the
Strength program.
MUSCLE RELAXATION: The Compex Muscle Relaxation program produces gentle muscle
twitches, like a massage, to facilitate recovery from muscle fatigue and to help recover muscle
strength after training sessions and competitions.
POTENTIATION: The Compex Potentiation program produces the physiological muscular
phenomenon known as “Twitch potentiation”. A specific system of stimulation increases the
amplitude and the speed of the elementary muscle twitch response of muscle fibers, more
particularly of fast fibers. A potentiated muscle gains in velocity and reaches its maximum
strength more easily and rapidly. This program is recommended before performing a sprint,
a jump or a throw. Applied briefly just before the beginning of a competition, it offers immediate,
well potentiated muscle fibers and an optimal level of performance to basketball, soccer or
volleyball players.
B: SPECIALIZED EMS TRAINING PROGRAMS
The
Compex® Wired 3.0
also offers six special muscle training programs. Their objective is to
prepare muscles for explosive motions or to facilitate recovery after active muscle training
and competition:
• Muscle relaxation
• Potentiation
• Training Recovery
• Competition Recovery
• Pre-warm up
• Pain Relief TENS
C: TENS PROGRAMS
TRAINING RECOVERY: The Compex Training Recovery cool-down program produces muscle
twitches at a very low frequency. Those twitches act like a massage and induce an increase in
blood flow. They are responsible for a faster reduction of the lactic acid blood level (much better
than mere rest) and accelerate the exchanges between muscle fibers and blood. Consequently,
the stimulated muscles recuperate better from fatigue and the athlete has a feeling of relaxation
and muscle lightness. This type of cool- down program is recommended after hard training
sessions and competitions. It is particularly useful after sports requiring long duration efforts,
combining endurance and resistance (cycling, marathon, triathlon, mountain-bike, etc.). The same
is applicable to sports that require shorter efforts (basketball, soccer, football).
PAIN RELIEF TENS: The Pain Relief TENS program is used to alleviate localized pain
COMPETITION RECOVERY: The Compex Competition Recovery program is a sub-set of the
Training Recovery program that produces a very low constant frequency to induce a gentle
muscle contraction and vibration to increase in blood flow. This program should be used after
training sessions and competitions.
PRE-WARMUP: The Compex Pre-Warmup program helps muscles to get ready and should be
used before training sessions and before competitions.

OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES
USAGE GUIDELINES: The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as
general rules. For all programs, it is recommended that you read carefully the usage information
and advice presented in the Operation section. You should use the compex.com web site to
establish an appropriate training plan. The compex.com web site helps you with your first steps
with the device.
CHOOSING THE APPROPRIATE MUSCLE WORK PROGRAM: The choice of a program
determines the kind of work that is imposed on the stimulated muscles. Based on your knowledge
about sport training, you can choose the program that is appropriate to your needs. Please go
on the compex.com web site as it offers an advanced interactive way to establish an appropriate
work program. With just a few answers to basic questions, the “Training Planner” will determine
which is the most appropriate program for you.
PLANNING STIMULATION SESSIONS: The Training Planner (compex.com) will determine the
number of training sessions per week you should do and the number of weeks you should use a
muscle training program.
ELECTRODE POSITIONS: For optimal results, use the electrode positions recommended by
DJO, LLC.
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 optimized in certain programs by
placing the electrode connected to the positive pole (red connection) “strategically”. When working
with a muscle stimulation program (involving muscle contractions), it is important to place the
positive electrode on the motor point of the muscle.
It is crucial to choose the right size electrodes (large or small) and correctly position these on the
muscle group you want to stimulate to ensure the efficacy of the program. 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.
DJO, LLC disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from electrodes placed in other
positions. See the Safety Guide section of this manual to more information on where not to
apply electrodes.

3031
STIMULATION POSITIONS
This position will vary depending on the position of the electrodes, the muscle group you
wish to stimulate, and the program you are using. For programs involving powerful muscular
contractions, the muscle should always be stimulated in an isometric fashion. 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 other types of programs (for example, the Training Recovery program), which do not involve
powerful muscular contractions, position yourself as comfortable as possible.
ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES
In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibers depends on the stimulation energy.
With a lower current intensity, there are fewer working fibers. With a higher current intensity
the number of working fibers is increased.
For programs involving powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use maximum
stimulation energies (up to 999), always at the limit that you can endure, in order to recruit the
maximum number of fibers.
PROGRESSION IN THE LEVELS
In general, it is not advisable to go through the different levels quickly with the intention of
reaching level 5 as fast as possible. In fact, the different levels correspond to progress with
electrostimulation.
The goal is to progress through the electrical intensities and then through the levels. The more
numerous the muscle fibers you stimulate, the more numerous will be the fibers that are going
to progress. But the speed of progress of these fibers and their aptitude for operating at a higher
rating depend on the program and level used, the number of sessions per week, the length of
these sessions and on intrinsic factors specific to each individual.
The simplest and most usual procedure is to start with level 1 and raise the level when changing
to a new stimulation cycle.
At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new cycle at the next level up or do some
maintenance at the rate of 1 session.
ELECTRODE TIPS
Clean and degrease the skin with an alcohol swab or cotton ball with alcohol and then dry it
before applying the pads. For hygiene purposes, do not share your pads with others
When removing your pads from your skin, peel from the side of the pad. Do not pull the pad off
by the wire. When you store your electrode pads after your session, make sure to stick them
on the transparent plastic film provided. Always adhere the pad to the “on” side of the film.
Place the film with the pads back inside the plastic bag, squeeze the excess air out of the bag,
and then completely seal it for storage
