ADMINISTERING TREATMENTS
The I-Bresis™ System is designed to provide the following three treatment options:
I-Bresis™ Treatment
The Controller delivers current at 3 mA to the Patch for three minutes for a Skin Conductivity Enhancement (SCE), followed by the patient
wearing the Patch for approximately one to two hours, resulting in a 40-80 mA-minute treatment respectively.
Standard Treatment
The Controller delivers current at 2, 3 or 4 mA to the Patch for 10-20 minutes, resulting in a 40 mA-minute treatment. For an 80
mA-minute treatment, repeat the treatment.
Patch-Only Treatment
The Patch delivers low level current over 2–4 hours, resulting in an approximate 40–80 mA-minute treatment respectively.
I-BRESIS™ MODE TREATMENT
NOTE: While using the Controller, should an in-process iontophoresis treatment need to be stopped or paused, DO NOT suddenly
remove the Controller from the Patch without first switching off the Controller. To stop a treatment while the Controller is administering
iontophoresis, press the ON/OFF button and wait a few moments for the Controller to turn off.
NOTE: For additional information on the Controller, refer to the Controller Instructions for Use.
1.
Push the ON button on the Controller. The Green I-Bresis™ Light will blink slowly.
2.
Attach the Controller to the Patch. The Patch connector (located at the center of the Patch) plugs into the slot on the back of
the Controller. Ensure that the Patch connector is fully and securely engaged into the Controller—a click will be heard upon full
engagement.
3.
Position the patient so that there is no pressure on the Patch during treatment.
4.
Press the START button to begin treatment. The green I-Bresis™ Light will blink more rapidly, then glow steadily.
5.
After three minutes, the Controller will sound a beep and the lights will turn off automatically. This indicates that the Skin
Conductivity Enhancement (SCE) is completed.
6.
Remove the Controller from the Patch. The Patch will now continue to deliver the remainder of the iontophoresis treatment to the
patient.
7.
If the patient will be wearing the I-Bresis™ Patch outside of the clinic, review the “Instructions for Home Use” at the end of this
document with the patient, and provide the patient with a copy of those instructions, if requested.
6.
Remove the adhesive release liner from the hydrated Patch.
7.
Apply the hydrated Patch so that the drug pad is over the treatment site and secure it by pressing the adhesive border. Avoid pressing
directly over the pads. Pressing directly on the pads can cause leakage that will compromise adhesion to the patient.
NOTE:
DO NOT tape or bind the Patch during treatment. Do not apply hot or cold therapy over Patch during treatment.
