Start-Up/Preparation; Treatment Of Foot Or Hand Perspiration - KaWe SwiSto3 Mode D'emploi

• Using this device too often may lead to minor skin irritation in some
cases.
• If the treatment is intentionally performed with a very high electric
current, an uncomfortable tingling can occur in the extremities
through which the current is flowing.
• The complete surface of the body parts being treated must rest with
uniformly-distributed pressure on the foam pads and/or sponge
pockets. A non-uniform distribution of the surface and of the pres-
sure may cause a current density (>0.2mA/cm
some areas, which can cause skin irritation or minor burns.
• Jewellery and wrist watches should be removed before treatment.
• The optimum therapy results are achieved by selecting the highest
possible (however, different for each individual) current intensity in
the water bath during the treatment.
• The influence on sweat inhibition is much more pronounced on the
positive (+) pole than on the negative (-) pole. Therefore, if appli-
cable, it is recommended that the patient change the polarity of the
electrodes after each treatment.
• The hands and the feet cannot be treated simultaneously. In accord-
ance with the user's manual, hand, feet and underarm treatments
are to be carried out as separate procedures.
• In order to avoid skin irritation or burns, only electrodes recom-
mended by KaWe are to be used.
• Please ensure that the included foam pads are always placed on the
electrode plates!
• In order to reduce the skin's natural resistance and if necessary, to
make the treatment current feel more comfortable to the user, the
hands or the feet should be massaged in a warm water bath prior to
being treated.
• Renew the water in the trays before each use.
• Ensure that the display can be read during treatment and is not il-
legible due to lighting conditions.
• The device and its parts (such as the membrane keypad etc.) are to
be checked before each use to ensure that they are in sound condi-
tion. Should there be any apparent problems such as wear etc.,
please send the device in to the manufacturer.
• The expected operational life time of the device is, depending on
use and maintenance, between 4 and 8 years. The built-in recharge-
able battery is designed for 800 complete charging cycles. With a
fully-charged battery, approx. 10, 20 minute-long treatments can
be performed at full power.
• If necessary, non-expert users are to contact the manufacturer or
their representative in order to receive help with the device or to
report unexpected functional operation or occurrences.

8. Start-up/preparation:

• Caution, condensation can cause a safety hazard! If the device be-
comes very cold during storage or transport, ensure that it reaches
room temperature before using it.
• When operating the device, heed the instructions given in "Guide-
lines and manufacturer declaration – Electromagnetic immunity".
• To charge the battery, first plug the low-voltage connector into the
socket on the back side of the unplugged SwiSto3 SwiSto3 ionto-
phoresis device. The plug-in charger is to be stored in a location that
is easily accessible and easy to reach.
• Ensure that the connector cable between the adapter and the ionto-
phoresis device is not a tripping hazard!
• Charge only with the KaWe REF 05.19170.002 charging plug!
2 ) that is too high in • Charge the battery completely before using for the first time. The
charging time for a completely discharged battery is approx. 10
hours. When charging, the battery symbol blinks and the charging
symbol on the display appears in the middle of the screen. The de-
vice cannot be used while it is being charged. The charging progress
can be seen on the battery symbol.
• To perform a treatment, place the SwiSto3 iontophoresis device on
a flat and dry surface.
• Place the water trays in an appropriate location.
• Place the electrodes (REF 05.19040.021) in the water trays.
• Place the foam pads on the electrodes such that the electrodes are
completely covered.
• Use the connector cables to connect the electrodes with the output
jacks (+ and -) on the side of the device. When connecting the ca-
bles to the electrodes, they should be plugged in with a simultane-
ous twisting motion.
• Fill both of the tubs with a minimum of 3-4 cm of lukewarm tap
water. Take special care that the trays do not overflow or have the
potential to overflow when the hands or feet are put into the water.
• For the underarm perspiration treatment, insert the plate electrodes
into the sponge pockets and soak them well in water.
• Power-on the SwiSto3 iontophoresis device by pressing the
push-button switch. Hold the button down for approx. 1 second
until the display illuminates. Current treatment values will be
shown on the display.
• The SET button is used to select each of the individual settings. Each
of the blinking values can be changed with the up and down but-
tons. The following can be changed: the current intensity in steps of
1 mA, continuous current / pulsing current and the treatment time
in min:sec.
• If the display is not readable or the unit appears to be damaged in
any way, send the device in to the manufacturer immediately.

9. Treatment of foot or hand perspiration

• Prepare device for use as described in Section 8 "Start-up/prepara-
tion".
• Power-on the device by pressing the power button
second.
• In each of the tap water-filled trays, place the palm of a hand or the
sole of a foot onto the foam pad-covered plate electrode.
Directly touching the electrodes is not dangerous; in order to avoid
spots of excessive current density, it is recommended however, that as
