The following label is located on the back of the device:
Figure 5: Electrode Cable Assembly
The electrode cable assembly connects to the device at the electrode
connector on the top panel.
Both electrodes, one red for the anode (positive) and one black for the
cathode (negative), have a stainless-steel disc as the electrode plate. In
the center of each electrode is a pin for detecting the Pilogel disc. The
electrodes provide current from the device through the Pilogel discs to
the patient skin during iontophoresis.
Figure 6: Pilogel Discs
Elliptical Pilogel discs are included in the SS-268 Macroduct Advanced
Supply Kit. The discs are approximately 6 mm (0.25 inch) thick and sized
to fit snugly into the standard recessed electrodes. They are supplied in a
resealable vial containing 12 discs each and are intended for single use
(sufficient for six iontophoretic sweat stimulations). Discs are to be used
in both positive (red) and negative (black) electrodes (applied parts).
Sweat stimulation occurs under the positive (red) electrode, while the
negative electrode completes the electrical circuit.
