I-Tech PHYSIO Notice D'utilisation page 128

Before starting the ionophoresis session, clean the skin near the area to be
treated; connect the jacks of the electrostimulation cable to the black rubber
electrodes with cable disconnected from I-TECH PHYSIO.
Moisten the two sponge electrodes abundantly.
ATTENTION: wring the sponge electrodes to avoid dripping, then put
the drug on an electrode as follows:
• drugs with positive polarity: dissolve this type of drug on the
electrode connected to the positive pole (red connection,
cathode).
• drugs with negative polarity: dissolve this type of drug on the
electrode connected to the negative pole (black connection,
anode).
• Bipolar drugs: these can be dissolved on either the positive
pole or the negative pole.
At this point, insert the two black rubber
electrodes, previously
electrostimulation cable inside the sponge
coverings (one with the drug and the other
without). Position the electrode with the drug on
the painful area, and the other electrode on the
other side (Figure 2) with the help of the elastic
band supplied with the kit. Connect cable at the
appropriate jack (channel 1) and turn I-TECH
PHYSIO on. If you want to double the number of
electrodes, you can request an additional
ionophoresis kit; then using the split cables
supplied, simply follow the instructions given in
the Patient preparation section.
It is possible to find a slight reddening of the skin
at the end of the program; the redness normally
disappears a few minutes after the end of the
program.
ATTENTION. Do not use the iontophoresis program in proximity of
metal prostheses.
