The DUPEL Dual Channel Iontophoresis System
provides the capabilities of two single channel
systems in a single device package. The user sets
the dosage and current levels for each channel
independently. The length of treatment (time) is
dependent on the dosage and current selected by the
user.

Frequently Answers and Questions

How do I connect the lead wires to the electrodes?
Connect the lead wires to the electrodes with careful attention to the polarity required for the treatment electrode. If a positively charged solution is used, connect the positive lead wire to the treatment electrode, and the other lead wire to the return electrode. Use the negative lead wire for a negatively charged solution.
What is the maximum recommended dosage?
The maximum recommended dosage is 80mA•min.
What should I do if a skin reaction occurs?
If a skin reaction occurs, discontinue the treatment and consult the prescribing physician.
How do I change the battery?
To change the battery, turn the device off and disconnect the lead wires. Remove the old battery and insert a new battery, ensuring that the terminals are in proper alignment.
How do I clean the device?
Use a cloth moistened with soap and water to clean the exterior of the device. Never immerse the device in water or other liquids.
