Operating Instructions
Read all warnings, precautions, contraindications and instructions
carefully before performing any Iontophoresis treatment(s).
There are two principal types of iontophoresis treatments that can be
delivered. The most common type is the “Single Phase” type which
involves the delivery of a treatment at a given polarity. The “Dual Phase”
type involves an active electrode containing two different polarity drugs.
The positive polarity drug is delivered first, followed by the negative polarity
drug. The following set of numbered instructions describes how to deliver
an iontophoresis treatment to a patient using both delivery types.
1.
Turn the device OFF
Before attaching any electrodes to a patient, the device should be
turned OFF. Turn OFF the device using the ON/OFF key on the
keypad.
2.
Connect the electrode cable to the device
Insert the electrode cable into the channel output jack located at the
top of the device. The plug-end of the cable is keyed and must be
oriented appropriately before it can be inserted into the jack. Do not
force the plug into the jack.
3.
Prepare the electrode sites on the patient
Use an alcohol preparation pad to gently remove any dirt and/or
oils at the site of the intended electrode placement on the patient.
Make sure that the area prepared is larger than the area of the entire
electrode pad so that the pad can maximally adhere to the site. Allow
the site to dry.
4.
Instill the “active electrode” with the iontophoresis drug(s)
Follow the protocols for the drug(s) being used for a treatment by
instilling the correct quantity of drug(s) into the “active electrode” in
the area of the electrode that is designed to hold the drug(s). Do not
get any of the drug(s) onto the adhesive area of the electrode.
5.
Apply the “active electrode” to the treatment site
Carefully position the “active electrode” over the intended treatment
site and firmly press it onto the site. Make sure that the edges of the
electrode are firmly attached to the site.
WARNING
Do not attempt to prepare or use a site that has broken skin, lacerations,
abrasions or any type of lesion that may be adversely affected by an
iontophoresis treatment.
