DENSITY = Current displayed in mA / Electrode area in cm²
Indications for the application:
·
The manufacturer declines the responsibility of the prescribing physician for the
choice of the drug to be used with ionophoresis. For this purpose, in this user
manual the manufacturer provides the data for a correct definition of the protocol
and the drug that has to be used.
·
Before using ionophoresis, therefore, it is mandatory to contact the prescribing
doctor.
·
Both sponges in the ionophoresis kit must be wetted with distilled water or
physiological solution, then insert the silicone electrodes inside the sponges and
connect the cables.
·
The drug used for the therapy should never be applied directly on the skin but to the
absorbent surface of the electrode corresponding to the polarity of the drug itself. In
fact, it is very important to consider the positive or negative charge sign of the active
ingredient of the drug, which must be applied correctly: the drug must be placed on
the electrode with the same charge sign as the active ingredient.
·
Place the two electrodes on the area that must be treated, at a distance of about 10-
20 cm and fix them with the elastic band.
·
Gradually increase the intensity until the patient feels a slight tingling.
·
Once the program is finished, turn the device off, and disconnect the electrodes.
Clean the sponges and bands following the instructions on the drug leaflet. If not
indicated, it is however recommended to wash the sponges and elastic bands very
well, with plenty of hot water and soap, so that the next time there are no traces of
the drug.
