Your Safety is Important This treatment system may only be powered by the HIDREX AC power adapter (which can be identified by a HIDREX nameplate with Serial- No.). This power supply is especially designed for this device.
The system should not be operated in the vicinity of shortwave or microwave medical diathermy devices. A minimum distance of 2 meters should be kept at all times. These electric shocks are definitely uncomfortable, but harmless. DP450 Tap Water Iontophoresis System User Manual Rev. 1.4 / 02-16-2017...
Mechanism of Action: During the HIDREX treatment, a current flows through the body regions that are being treated. The water in the trays or pads mediates this current flow. The skin areas in contact with the water will thereby secrete less sweat.
The treatment current can be adjusted according to your individual sensitivity. There is no risk involved as the current cannot exceed certain maximum values. Treatment Fundamentals The HIDREX treatment concept comprises two treatment phases: Phase 1: The initial phase (therapy initiation) is sometimes conducted under a doctor‘s supervision.
It is recommended NOT to reverse polarity within any given treat- ment session. Types of Current The DP450 has several options for the type of current used during treatment: DC: Direct Current (standard) PC: Pulsed Current PC is recommended as an option for treatment of underarms, or treatments where the skin is more sensitive, or for the treatment of children.

The two basins of the case can easily be separated by pushing the left side away from you while pulling the right side toward you. The case must be completely open (lying flat) before attempting to separate the sides. DP450 Tap Water Iontophoresis System User Manual Rev. 1.4 / 02-16-2017...
The following describes how to select and store these parameters: After setting up your HIDREX therapy system in accordance with the instructions in the “Installation” chapter, turn on the control unit by pushing the main power switch 1.

If you interrupt the treatment by removing the treatment area from the water source, the ACTIVE LED goes off and the treatment timer is paused. The DP450 Tap Water Iontophoresis System User Manual Rev. 1.4 / 02-16-2017...
Remove the treatment area from the water source (trays or pads) and THEN switch the device off. Important Advice for Conducting Treatments For your safety, your HIDREX treatment system comes equipped with sev- eral protective circuits. Immersion monitoring Immersion monitoring is a built-in feature that detects when the treatment electrical current circuit is closed due to immersion of the palms or feet, or placement of the pads under the arms.
Safety circuit The DP450 has a safety circuit which stops the treatment in the case the current exceeds 30 mA. In this case, the display will show “StOP” and all LEDs will blink. Please turn it off, unplug the power supply from the wall and send the device with all electrical accessories back to us if this occurs.
As a communal device for multi-patient use, the following protocols should be obeyed: Each patient will be provided with own consumables for HIDREX ionto- • phoresis treatment (pair of towels or axillary pads) , which can be re- used to every session.
• Operational check of the medical device. Disinfection Because exclusively unscathed skin will be treated, the HIDREX tap water ionto- phoresis devices are classified as “non-critical” concerning disinfection. As a communal device for multi-patient use, the following protocol should be...
The reconditioning of the devices is classified as “non-critical”. The reconditioning should be done only by an authorized HIDREX repair center. If a device is to be reconditioned, the following actions will also be taken: or axillary pads ❐) need to be disposed of...
Please do not ship towels, axillary pads or any other pads. Please send all electrical accessories (AC power adapter➮, electrodes➴, AX electrodes❒ and cable set➬) together with the HIDREX control unit. Applicable Regulations and Legal Requirements The regulations valid in the respective operator's country (e.g., infection preven- tion, technical servicing or registration and documentation regulations) are to be kept in connection with the location of use (e.g., medical institution), in any case,...
Each successful reconditioning by the manufacturer extends the lifespan of the medical device by 2 years. If the HIDREX tap water iontophoresis system is reconditioned for the same patient, the treatment trays or carrying case (depend- ing on their condition) do not necessarily have to be replaced.
This device has an immunity level of 20V/m with no accessories con- nected to the device. HIDREX tap water iontophoresis devices should be used in an electro- magnetic environment as listed below. The client or user should ensure that it is used in an appropriate environment.
