PS 

 

Symbol for important safety instructions. 
Please follow these instructions carefully to prevent health risks and damage to 
property. 

In case of the following conditions the idromed

®

 5 should not be used or should only 

be used after consulting your doctor: 

 

cardiac arrhythmia 

 

electronically controlled implanted devices (e.g. pacemaker) 

 

metallic implanted devices in the area where the current flows 

 

metallic intrauterine implanted devices (loop) 

 

pregnancy 

 

bigger skin diseases 

 

insensibility for pain 

Prolonged usage of high frequency surgery units on a patient can cause burns under  
electrodes. 

Application of the electrodes close to the ribcage can increase the risk of ventricular 
fibrillation. 

Effective  current  densities  over  2  mA/cm²  at  all  electrode  faces  require  higher 
attention from the user. 

 

During treatment the electric circuit needs to be completed constantly, i.e. maintain 
at least one hand or foot in each tub. 

Conductive  material  (e.g.  metal,  water  pipes  etc.)  must  not  be  touched  during 
treatment. 

All jewellery on hands and feet must be removed before starting treatment. 

Any damage to skin (minor injuries, scratches etc.) on the palms of the hands, soles 
of the feet, cuticles or at the armpits must be coated with vaseline or a fatty cream 
before treatment, as current permeability will be higher than normal on those spots. 
Please do only cover these spots! 

Current  intensity  is  set  according  to  individual  requirements  of  the  user.  The  ideal 
current  intensity  evokes  a  pleasant,  tingling  sensation  (not  on  the  treatment  of  the 
armpits).  The  values  listed  in  these  instructions  are  the  maximum  values  allowed. 
Current  intensity  chosen  by  the  user,  however,  should  normally  be  much  lower, 
otherwise  there  is  a  danger  of  burning  the  skin  (e.g.  the  usual  range  for  the 
treatment of the armpits is about 1 – 2 mA). 

Moisten  the  sponges  from  inside  and  outside,  until  they  don’t  drip  (do  not  wring 
them out). If the sponges are too dry, there is a danger of burns! 

Attention,  there  is  a  danger  of  burns,  when  the  metallic  electrodes  are  in  direct 
contact with the skin. When treating armpits, the sponge electrodes have to be kept 
still and with constant pressure under the armpits, otherwise fluctuations of current 
will occur on the display of the unit. 

 

Never short-circuit the metallic electrodes!
