What is Compex Mi "Muscle Intelligence" technology?
Compex "Mi" stands for “muscle intelligence”™

This Compex technology takes into account the specificities of each of our muscles and thus offers stimulation adapted to their characteristics.

It’s simple, as the data is transmitted to the stimulator automatically!

It’s personalised, as each of our muscles is unique!



Compex Mi Sensor : This is the little sensor that links the stimulator to the electrodes. Compex Mi Sensor is the key component that enables to measure certain physiological characteristics of a muscle, to analyse them and to adapt the stimulation parameters accordingly. It is this component that allows the muscle to talk.


Practical rules of use with the Compex Mi system

To access the Compex Mi technology functions of the Compex, the special electrode cable of the system must be already connected before switching the device on.

Avoid connecting the special electrode cable of the Compex Mi Sensor system when the Compex is switched on.

To work correctly, the Compex Mi Sensor system must not be blocked or subjected to pressure.

During the stimulation session, self-adhesive electrodes must always be clipped on the special electrode cable of the Compex Mi Sensor system. The size and positioning of these electrodes must be as shown in the pictures at the end of the manual or at the beginning of the specific applications.


Compex Mi Scan : This function adapts the electrostimulation session to the physiology of each user. Just before starting the work session Compex Mi Scan probes the chosen muscular group and automatically adjusts the stimulator parameters to the excitability of this area of the body. It is a truly personalised measurement.

Compex Mi Scan function

The Compex Mi Scan function is accessible only for programmes requiring the choice of a muscular group.

The Compex Mi Scan function allows you to adapt the characteristics of the stimulation impulses to the individual specificities of each person and the excitability characteristics of the stimulated muscle. This function is implemented, at the start of the programme, by a short sequence during which measurements are taken (a horizontal bar scans the figurine at the left of the screen).

Throughout the entire measurement test, you must remain completely still and be perfectly relaxed. The Compex Mi Scan system is very sensitive: the smallest contraction or the least movement could disturb the measurement test.

The duration of the Compex Mi Scan test varies depending on the muscle involved and the individual characteristics of each person. The test lasts 12 seconds on average and never more than 21 seconds.

During the test, an unpleasant tickling sensation may sometimes be felt by certain people.

Once the test has been completed, the programme can start



Compex Mi Action:
This is a work mode in which a voluntary muscular contraction is automatically accompanied by a contraction caused by electrostimulation. The electrostimulation contraction is therefore perfectly controlled, and the working session thus becomes more comfortable (from both the psychological and muscular standpoints), more intensive (the muscle works more and in greater depth) and more complete (improvement of coordination).

Compex Mi Action function

The Compex Mi Action mode allows the user to start the muscular contraction phase by voluntarily contracting the stimulated muscle. It thus offers an opportunity to associate voluntary work and stimulation.

The Compex Mi Action mode is available only for certain programmes that allow this work mode.

Programmes using the Compex Mi Action mode are always preceded by the Compex Mi Scan measurement test

The Compex Mi Action work mode is operational during the active rest phases of a work sequence. It is not operational during warming-up and relaxation sequences.

After the warming-up phase, the first muscular contraction is started automatically.

The voluntary start of a contraction (during an active rest phase) is possible only within a given time span that varies depending on the programme used. An alternation of sound signals delimits this time span in the following order:
- An initial sound signal (consisting of increasingly close “bleeps”) indicates that the start of the voluntary contraction phase is possible.
- The sound signal is continuous: this is the ideal time to start the voluntary contraction phase.
- The sound signal decreases: the start is still possible and the work rate is still satisfactory.
- After a certain time – which varies depending on the programmes – during which the “bleeps” are more spaced out, the device automatically goes into the “Pause” mode if no contraction phase has been started

To restart a muscular contraction during the active rest phase, the system must detect strong muscular twitches. To do this, the device prompts you, if necessary, to increase the stimulation energies during the active rest phase. If, despite that, the system does not detect sufficient muscular twitches within 20 seconds, the device goes into the “Pause” mode.



Compex Mi Tens :The optimal stimulation energy needs to be identified and used throughout the TENS programme (analgesic). On the basis of the measurements taken regularly during the session, the device permanently and automatically readjusts the stimulation energy to avoid any onset of muscular contraction, which is strongly counter-indicated for programmes of this type.

Compex Mi Tens functions

The Compex Mi Tens function allows you to limit considerably the onset of unwanted muscular contractions, thus assuring a maximum of comfort and effectiveness.

The Compex Mi Tens function is available only for the Sophisticated TENS, Arthralgia and Epicondylitis.

For these programmes, the function allows you to control the stimulation energies while maintaining them at an effective level and considerably limiting the onset of muscular contractions.

Short measurement tests (lasting 2 to 3 seconds) are carried out regularly throughout the entire programme.

There is a test phase after each increase of the stimulation energies. To ensure the correct performance of these tests, you must remain perfectly still during this time.

Depending on the results of the measurement tests recorded by the device, the level of the stimulation energies may be slightly decreased automatically.

It is important always to adopt the most comfortable possible stimulation position. Also, you should try to remain still and not contract the muscles of the stimulated area


Compex Mi Range: This function indicates the ideal energy adjustment range for the low frequency programmes. Using Compex Mi Range, you no longer need to ask yourself whether the energy you are using is too high or too low: this function tells you, thus optimising the efficiency of your treatment or training.

Compex Mi Range functions

This function indicates the ideal energy adjustment range for programmes whose efficiency requires vigorous muscular twitches.

The Compex Mi Range function is therefore accessible only for programmes using low stimulation frequencies (less than 10 Hertz).

For programs allowing the use of the function, the stimulator checks whether you are in the ideal energy range. If you are below the range, the stimulator prompts you to increase the energy by displaying "+"signs.

Once the stimulator has detected your ideal adjustment range, a bracket appears to the right of the bar chart of the channel to which the system is connected. This bracket indicates the energy range within which you should work for optimal stimulation.

If you adjust the stimulation energy below the ideal treatment range, the stimulator prompts you to increase it again with a continuous display of blinking "+" signs
