System Operation

This chapter describes the procedure to operate the Waveform
Generator and to use the Intradermal Electrode.

Experiment Delivery

The user operates the system via the front panel touch screen.
When the power is turned on, the system boots up, and displays
the opening screen. The system is immediately ready for use.
All data logs produced for a transfectant delivery will be
automatically placed on a USB Key if one is inserted into an open
slot on the front panel. The user must ensure the USB Key is
inserted before the Protocol Delivery Screen is displayed, as the
protocol pulsing is started.
If the user does not have a USB Key inserted at run time, all run
history log files can be retrieved at a later time from the log files.

USB Key/Memory Stick

The USB key can be inserted into either of the two USB ports that
are located on the front panel of the waveform generator. It should
be inserted before delivering pulses and can be removed at any
time after the "saving data" message disappears. The USB key may
be removed without performing any additional procedures. The

data logs that result from a experiment are automatically stored on
the Key.

Intradermal Array (IDA) Electrode

The IDA Electrode consists of two parts: The handle and the tip.

Figure 8: IDA Tip

IDA Electrode Handle
The handle consists of an assembly into which the tip is placed
and a permanently attached cable. The cable is connected to the
Waveform Generator. The handle is made of a durable plastic. It is
not sterile and may be cleaned with alcohol. The handle is reusable.
IDA Electrode Tip
The IDA tip is recommended for single use and is disposable.
The tip is made of medical grade plastic with surgical steel needles.
There are three tips that may be used with the handle.
The tips are shipped in individual pouches. A cover is included to
protect the needles during shipping and handling.
When ready to use the electrodes, open the pouch and remove
the tip.
Insert the tip into the handle by aligning the arrow on the tip with
the arrow on the handle. Side grips have been added to the tip for
easier application.
Once the transfectant is ready for administration, remove the

protective cover from the IDA Tip taking care not to disconnect the
tip from the handle.
