Read Before Use
Your HIDREX tap water iontophoresis device was designed to maximize
functionality and usability. System setup is easy, and the device is simple to
operate. This manual is intended to guide you through setup and programming,
familiarize you with the system’s features, and offer hints on the use of your new
therapy system.
Your Safety is Important
This treatment system may only be powered by the HIDREX AC power
adapter (which can be identified by a HIDREX nameplate with Serial-
No.). This power supply is especially designed for this device.
In order to prevent burns during treatment, make sure the supplied tow-
els or pads cover the treatment electrodes at all times. Avoid direct con-
tact with the metallic surface.
Two devices may not be simultaneously used by one patient.
Prior to treatment, remove any metallic jewelry (wedding bands, etc.)
which would otherwise come in contact with the water source (trays or
pads). Keeping such accessories on would lead to localized minor (elec-
trical) burns that are secondary to increased current densities.
Avoid application of current in excess of that which can be safely and
comfortably tolerated by the patient. Always treat carefully and observe
patient reaction.
(As a rule, avoid current intensity greater than 0.5-1.0 milliamperes per
square inch of active electrode area.)
The long term effects of chronic electrical stimulation have not been es-
tablished.
Keep this device out of the reach of children.
Caution: U.S. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order
of a physician.
WARNING: Potential systemic adverse effects may result from use of
this device. Drugs or solutions delivered with this device have the poten-
tial to reach the blood stream and cause systemic effects. Carefully read
all labeling of the drug or solution used with this device to understand all
potential adverse effects and to ensure appropriate dosing information.
If systemic manifestations occur, refer to the drug or solution labeling for
appropriate action.
