  • Page 3: Theory Of Operation

    THEORY OF OPERATION Iontophoresis transports charged water-soluble drugs and other ionic substances across intact skin. Iontophoresis technology is based on the principle that an electric potential causes charged water-soluble ions in solution to migrate according to their electrical charges. The distribution of a charged ionic drug delivered by iontophoresis is dependent upon the charge of the ion, the size of the ion (molecular weight), the strength and duration of the electrical current applied,...
  • Page 4 minutes, resulting in a 40 mA-min treatment. For an 80 mA-minute treatment, repeat the treatment. Patch Treatment The Patch delivers low-level current over 2-4 hours, resulting in an approximate 40-80 mA-min treatment respectively. INDICATIONS The Hybresis System is indicated for the administration of soluble salts or other drugs into the body for medical purposes as an alternative to hypodermic injection.
  • Page 5 Warnings • Keep out of the reach of children and pets. • Do not apply electrodes such that the current pathway crosses the heart or brain, as safety has not been established. • Advise the patient to remove electrodes if any undue sensation of pain or burning occurs during the treatment and to report discomfort to clinic.
  • Page 6 Warnings • Consult directions for the use of the drug before delivery. Some drugs require a specific polarization for use. Observe the indications, contraindications, warnings and precautions related to this issue. • Do not use electrodes that have been previously used as these electrodes have been designed for single use only.
  • Page 7: Controller Operation

    CONTROLLER OPERATION The Hybresis Controller is a solid state, microprocessor-controlled device that delivers low-level electrical current. When used in conjunction with the Patch, the Controller provides visual and audible indications of treatment status. WARNING: • DO NOT allow it to be immersed or come in contact with fluids. •...

  • Page 10 Automatic Current Ramp Down - After reaching the preset dose, the current automatically decreases, returning to 0 mA, indicating the treatment is complete. Also, automatic current ramp down takes place if the ON/OFF button is pressed (i.e. Treatment Abort) or if the PAUSE button is pressed. Automatic Fast Current Shut Off - If there is a Low Battery Alarm or Current Interruption Alarm, the current will be immediately set to 0 mA.
  • Page 11: Preparing The Patient

    PREPARING THE PATIENT Advise the patient that iontophoresis has the potential to result in skin irritation and/or burns. • Direct current may result in transient erythema under the pads. The erythema generally resolves itself within a few hours to a few days. •...
  • Page 12 PREPARING THE PATCH 1. Tear open the sealed treatment kit and remove the Patch. 2. Place the Patch on a flat surface with the absorbent pads facing up. 3. Clean the treatment site thoroughly with alcohol prep by rubbing for six to eight seconds to remove dry skin, oils and other contaminants.
  • Page 13 DO NOT use drug suspensions. DO NOT use a Patch that appears altered or damaged. DO NOT apply Patch to dirty, oily or lotioned skin. Use of tap water or non-chloride drug solution on positive polarity may cause tattooing or staining. 5.
  • Page 14 Standard Treatment The Controller delivers current at 2, 3 or 4 mA to the Patch for 10-20 minutes, resulting in a 40 mA-minute treatment. For an 80 mA-minute treatment, repeat the treatment. Patch-Only Treatment The Patch delivers low level current over 2-4 hours, resulting in an approximate 40-80 mA-minute treatment respectively.
  • Page 15 6. After three minutes, the Controller will sound a beep and the lights will turn off automatically. This indicates that the Skin Conductivity Enhancement (SCE) is completed. 7. Remove the Controller from the Patch. The Patch will now continue to deliver the remainder of the iontophoresis treatment to the patient.
  • Page 16 2. Push the Standard Mode button on the Controller. The 2 mA indicator light will blink slowly. Each additional depression of the button will scroll to the next setting- 3 mA or 4 mA. 3. Attach the Controller to the Patch. The Patch connector (located at the center of the Patch) plugs into the slot on the back of the Controller.
