ActivaPatch Intellidose User Manual

Contraindications:

Iontophoresis is contraindicated for patients with:

• Cardiac pacemakers or other electrically-sensitive implanted devices.
• Known sensitivity to the ionic solutions to be administered.
• Known adverse reactions to the application of electrical current.

Warnings & Precautions:

1. Do not use an ActivaPatch that appears to have been altered or damaged in any way.
2. Do not use on damaged skin or recent scar tissue.
3. Do not use across the temporal regions or for the treatment of the orbital region.
4. Only use with negatively-charged solutions.
5. The ActivaPatch® can be worn during normal activity; however, excessive motion where the ActivaPatch® has been placed can cause poor contact between the skin and the electrodes. This may result in uneven distribution of current, increasing the risk of skin irritation.
6. Do not shave the application site area. If necessary, clip the hair. Before giving an iontophoretic treatment, the patient should be advised of the potential for skin irritation or burns. An area of transient erythema, characterized by a uniform red pattern, can occur under the ground and active electrodes. The redness should resolve within a few hours.
7. Advise the patient to remove the ActivaPatch and immediately report any burning sensation or discomfort.
8. Do not allow any metals to come in contact with any of the electrodes. Advise the patient to remove all jewelry and metallic piercings around the treatment site.
9. Non-sterile, single use only. Discard immediately after each treatment.
10. Do not get electrodes wet, as this may cause the electrode to short.
