display shows the remaining treatment time and the selected dose in volts.
When you continue the treatment, the ACTIVE LED
will light up again
and the dose display changes to zero, before it slowly increases to the de-
sired value.
4) Ending a treatment session:
When the treatment time is up, the treatment dose is automatically lowered to
zero. Please keep your hands and feet in the trays (or the axillary pads in place,
respectively) until the dose display reads “End“.
Remove the treatment area from the water source (trays or pads) and
THEN switch the device off
.
Important Advice for Conducting Treatments
For your safety, your HIDREX treatment system comes equipped with sev-
eral protective circuits.
Immersion monitoring
Immersion monitoring is a built-in feature that detects when the treatment
electrical current circuit is closed due to immersion of the palms or feet, or
placement of the pads under the arms. The ACTIVE LED
will light up
when the circuit is closed and treatment is active.
Over Treatment Protection (OTP) Feature
If your skin is dryer than normal
1
, the dose cannot be increased (protection
against over-treatment). Your HIDREX system automatically checks your
specific skin conductance. If your skin conductance is beyond the preset
threshold, the protection circuit is activated and locks the system. The
ACTIVE LED
does not light up, even when the treatment current path is
closed.
Hint:
To double-check if over-treatment protection has been activated for you
(and that it is not a fault of the device), you can run a quick operational
check of the device to confirm that it is your skin conductance and not the
device. Simply take one cable and insert each end into a jack on the
module AFTER the device is in Programming Mode. This closes the cir-
cuit; the ACTIVE LED will light up if the device is working properly.
If over-treatment protection is activated, you should interrupt your treatment
course for at least one week until excessive perspiration returns.
Please contact us if the OTP feature has been activated
AND
you still have
excessive perspiration, which is a situation that may arise in very rare cir-
cumstances.

This does not relate to the surface skin layer, but to the moisture content of the deeper skin layers, an
indicator of the extent of hyperhidrosis.
