8. This device is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain or humidity.
9. Caution should be used when treating areas of the skin that lack normal sensation (e.g. diabetic
patients). Note: watch out for skin irritations. Pause the treatment if necessary.

instead. The current strength should be adjusted to the comfort of the patient. In cases of skin
irritation, stop the treatment and seek advice from your doctor.
11. If the treatment feels uncomfortable, reduce the current strength to a comfortable level or
stop the session.
12. If the treatment is ineffective or unpleasant, discontinue the sessions and seek advice from
your doctor.

by the manufacturer.

16. Dropping the device may cause damage.
Side effects / accompanying symptoms
• Skin irritations are one possible side effect of the intended usage. The treatment should be
stopped until the cause of the irritation can be determined.
• You will perceive every treatment differently. For this reason, the milliampere value should only
be used as a rough guidance. The current strength should be adjusted according to your personal
comfort level.
• Iontophoresis treatment stimulates the circulation, so a harmless reddening of the skin after the
treatment may occur.
• During the treatment you may experience tingling or stinging sensations. In this case, you should
reduce the current strength to a comfortable value.
• As a consequence of the treatment, the skin will become increasingly drier.
• If the treatment leads to skin that is too dry, chapped or cracked, stop the treatment and consult
your doctor.
