How-To: Treatment for Hands & Feet

Preparation 

• Ensure skin is intact before treatment.
• Remove any jewelry from the hands or feet.
• Clean the skin thoroughly (preferably with antimicrobial soap) to remove creams, deodorants, antiperspirants, and cosmetics.

Device Set-up

1. Place the trays of the case on a flat, firm surface (e.g. table for hands, floor for feet) in order to avoid water spillage.

2. Place hand and foot electrodes into each tray, with the connection stem facing the front direction.

3. Cover each electrode with the mat.

5. Connect a cable to each electrode while plugging the other cable end into the connectors on the back panel of the controller.

• NOTE: Make sure cables are fully plugged into the electrodes to prevent unstable connections. This may cause current fluctuations and minor electric shocks during treatment.

6. Plug the AC adapter into the wall, connect it to the controller, and, if necessary, install the blade on the AC adaptor.

• The device must only be used with the Dermadry AC adapter provided. If a different AC adapter is used, harm may occur and void the warranty. 

Note: Before connecting the device to the AC adapter, ensure it has been at room temperature for at least 6 hours.

The controller’s display will light up and start its automatic internal testing (all the display symbols and the green LED will flash once). The internal testing will take 1-2 seconds to complete, and the device will then switch to "Settings" mode. 

7. Carefully fill both treatment trays with enough tap water, up to a maximum of 250 ml (8.5 fl. oz.) per tray or to the water line.

• Ensure the entire skin surface intended for treatment is in contact with water. Use water between room temperature and warm (20-40 °C / 70-105 °F) according to user comfort.
  
  

Settings Mode

• The default treatment profile is set for the treatment of the underarms, which have the lowest current strength. In ‘Settings’ mode, the current setting point (in mA) and the profile will flash on the screen.
• Select the desired profile: Hands or Feet 
• Select the current strength (mA). Each treatment profile has its own settings with a specific maximum current level and treatment duration.
  
  
• During the first session, it's recommended to start with a low current (mA) setting. If the user can comfortably complete the session using a low current (mA), then gradually increase the current by 1 mA in the following sessions until the highest comfortable current setting is achieved.
                     

Active Mode

•     During ‘Active’ mode, the device is ready to deliver treatment.
• Press the activation button for 3 seconds to activate the device. The green LED will begin to flash.

In ‘Active’ mode, the treatment profile cannot be changed but the setpoint current strength can be modified if necessary. If the treatment profile is not correct, the device should be switched to "Settings" mode by pressing the activation button.


Treatment Mode

• Place your hands or feet in the trays.

• The device will then automatically switch to ‘Treatment’ mode and start delivering current and the green LED will stop blinking.
  • The current will begin to rise slowly towards the setpoint value.
  • The treatment timer will begin to decrease. When less than a minute is left, the display will be in seconds.
  • The current setpoint display will change to show the real-time tension in volts.
    • Note: L5 will be displayed when the tension is lower than 5 volts.

• Tap water in certain geographic locations may be too "soft" or does not contain enough minerals, the treatment will not be as effective. Use non-carbonated bottled or mineral water instead. 
• Add a little more water to the tray to ensure the sides of the hands or feet are treated. Be cautious not to submerge the tops of your skin, as this could cause discomfort and irritation.
  
• If this does not work, contact Dermadry’s Customer Service immediately.
