SECTION 3: SWEAT INDUCTION AND COLLECTION
3.1 Preparing for Sweat Induction
WARNING!
Due to the possibility of an explosion, never attempt iontophoresis on a patient receiving
oxygen-enriched respiratory therapy in an enclosed space, such as an oxygen tent (nasal
cannula is acceptable). With medical approval, remove the patient from that environment
during iontophoresis.
1. Turn the Device On
Turn the device on by pressing and holding down the power switch
located on the top of the Macroduct Advanced for 1-2 seconds.
2. Advance to the Iontophoresis Procedure
From the Home screen, tap to begin the iontophoresis step-by-
step setup procedure.
3. Iontophoresis Supplies
Make certain the device and all supplies are on hand for the complete
sweat induction procedure:
• Macroduct Advanced Model 3710
• Electrode cable assembly

Tap to advance to the next screen, or tap to go back to the
previous screen.
CAUTION:
Never attempt actual iontophoresis on a patient while in Simulated
Test mode. Verify that the device is in iontophoresis mode (with blue
task bar showing) when performing an actual test.
