Display Shows Possible Cause Corrective Action
“ELECTRODE REJECT”
and“REJ” indicator lights
• Loose electrical connection
at one or both electrodes.
• One or both electrodes have
pulled away from the skin.
• Insufcient medication in
drug electrode.
• Drug electrode not properly
hydrated.
• Medication inappropriate for
iontophoresis.
• Turn CURRENT knob counter-
clockwise to “PAUSE” treat-
ment and silence beep.
• Correct problem.
• Turn CURRENT knob to reset
current. Restart treatment.
Dose “LIMIT” • Maximum dose of 80.0 mA-
min has been reached.
• Refer to electrode directions
for dosage recommenda-
tions.
CAUTION: Do not exceed
recommended dosage.
Current “LIMIT” • Maximum current of 4.0 mA
has been reached.
• Refer to electrode directions
for use and Section VIII-B for
recommendations on current
settings.
“RESISTANCE LIMIT” • Skin resistance at an
electrode site is too high
for preset current level, for
example, the plantar surface
of the foot.
• None. The unit automatically
ramps current up to preset
level, or as high as possible,
and adjusts time to delivered
desired dose.
“PAUSE” • Treatment has been paused
by decreasing current to 0.0
mA, or by depressing the
CURRENT knob.
• During a pause, electrodes
may be disconnected,
moved or replaced.
• Correct situation that caused
treatment to be paused.
• Turn CURRENT knob to reset
current. Restart treatment.
BAT indicator lights
during treatment.
• Battery voltage is decreasing
during treatment but treat-
ment may continue.
• After treatment is nished,
replace battery.
“LOW BATTERY” and “BAT”
indicator lights when unit
is turned on.
• Battery voltage is too low for
proper operation.
• If battery voltage is very low
only BAT indicator lights.
• Unit will not allow treatment
to begin.
• Replace battery.
“LOW BATT REJECT” and
during treatment “BAT” indica-
tor lights.
• Battery voltage is too low for
treatment to continue.
• Unit will not allow treatment
to be restarted.
• Unit ramps down current be-
fore preset dose is delivered.
• Replace battery.
