SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
1.5 Pilogel Iontophoretic Discs
We strongly recommend the following burn prevention procedures:
• Discard Pilogel discs that have an unusual appearance or appear damaged (fractures, discs
that do not fit properly in the electrode, etc.).
• Electrode strap pressure should promote firm contact between the skin and the Pilogel
disc. Straps should not be tight enough to crush the disc between skin and electrode, or
cut off the patient’s blood circulation.
• Leave skin slightly wet after washing the area where the electrode will be attached.
(Or)
• Add a drop of deionized water to either the skin or the Pilogel surface (after installation in
the electrode).
If a minor burn does occur, it should be evaluated by a qualified medical professional and treated
appropriately. The operator of the system should report all burns to ELITechGroup immediately
and should be prepared to have a qualified professional provide specific information to determine
whether the event is reportable to the FDA and other regulatory authorities.
WARNING!
Although these recommendations are designed to prevent burns during iontophoresis, there is
no guarantee they will not occur.
