SECTION 5: TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
5.2 Cleaning the Electrodes
Electrodes must be cleaned following each iontophoresis procedure.
1. Completely remove any remaining Pilogel disc material from the
electrodes.
2. Use a cotton ball or swab with isopropyl alcohol or an alcohol
wipe to thoroughly clean each electrode.
CAUTION:
Avoid cleaning substances that could leave a chloride residue.
3. Wipe each electrode dry.
4. When using a new Macroduct Advanced Supply Kit (SS-268), or if
the electrode appears dirty after an extended idle period, use the
Electrode Cleaning Pads (SS-271) to clean and buff the electrode
surface.

CAUTION:
Never use harsh abrasives such as steel wool, sandpaper or emery cloth
to clean electrodes. Never scrape electrodes with metal tools. If the
electrode surface is scratched or pitted, it will not perform as specified
and must be replaced.
