Iontophoresis Electrode Application Instructions
6550, 6560, and 6570 Series

SINGLE USE ONLY. Discard both electrodes after single use.

  1. Inspect application area for imperfections.
  2. Clean application areas with alcohol prep and allow to dry (do not abrade skin while cleaning).
  3. Remove active electrode by peeling backing from adhesive tape.
  4. Apply active electrode over treatment area, making sure there are no wrinkles or creases. Slightly stretching the tape while applying decreases wrinkling and promotes better skin adhesion.
  5. Remove hydrogel dispersive electrode (not included with 6570 series) from its plastic backing and place 4-6 inches away from treatment area, making sure the entire area is in contact with skin.
  6. Attach lead wires according to instrument instructions.
  7. Apply ionic solution into active electrode fill ports according to protocol.
