mineral concentration that makes iontophoresis possible. Here’s what you can
do:
Determine body resistance:
The first step is to make sure that your skin is free of oily or greasy residue from
creams, cosmetics, or cream soaps. Second, make sure the water level is
sufficient. Try once more to perform the treatment on your hands. Should the
device still not start automatically, ask someone else to perform the treatment
on him/herself. If the device works properly for another person, your personal
body resistance is too high and the device does not start for safety reasons.
Determine water resistance:
If the device does not start properly for another person, you may live in a “soft
water” area and the water resistance is probably too high. In place of using tap
water, pick up a bottle of distilled mineral water or table water from your local
grocery store and re-try the treatment. Additionally, you can use a very thin
fleece or sponge cloth in place of the blue foam inserts over the silicone-
graphite electrodes. This will reduce the water path and thus the resistance.
In case of a device failure, or if the actions mentioned above are unsuccessful,
please contact RA Fischer Co. by phone. (800) 525-3467
