What Is the HIDREX ConnectION Machine For?

The HIDREX Iontophoresis Machine is designed to provide medical grade iontophoresis therapy. This is therapy that is designed to tackle excessive sweating in the hands, feet and underarms, without the continued use of antiperspirant or any other form of sweat blocking products. It is a safe, medical standard treatment, and it only takes fifteen minutes of use a week to eradicate sweating completely.

The ConnectION differs from the ClassicION in that it offers a variable pulse as well as just a pulsed current. This allows you to provide a more catered level of therapy that is specific to yours or your patient's needs. The machine can also connect to your mobile via bluetooth with the MyHIDREXApp, making it far more usable.

Can I Use the ConnectION Direct, Pulsed and Variable Pulsed Iontophoresis Machine?

The ConnectION Machine is medical standard, and is designed for use on those who suffer from plantar and normal hyperhidrosis. A full list of suitable users includes:

• Medical Professionals
• Doctors
• GPs
• Hyperhidrosis Specialists
• Home Use

If you do use the machine for home use, then we would recommend speaking to your GP first. Alternatively, you can check the list of do NOTs at the bottom of the page.

How Does the HIDREX ConnectION Iontophoresis Machine Work?

The HIDREX ConnectION can provide iontophoresis to your feet, hands or underarms. It works by providing either a direct, pulsed, or variable pulsed current through the affected body zones. The flow of this electrical current is ensured by a water bath that leads to a reduction in sweat in the areas being treated.

You are supplied with a machine, slot plates, leads and profiles, which means that all you need to do is connect the machine together before you begin your therapy. Finally, you can connect to your mobile to the machine, making it ideal for catered use.

How Do I Use the ConnectION Direct Iontophoresis Machine?

With your purchase you will receive an instruction manual telling you exactly how to use your Iontophoresis Machine. During the initial treatment phase, you should only use the device for fifteen minutes a day and no more than three times per week. Once ten treatments have passed sweat levels should be normalised, and you will only need to use the device between one and three times a week.

If you down load the MyHIDREXApp, you can connect your machine to your phone via bluetooth. This lets you alter the settings in an easier and more usable way.

User Instructions

What Is Iontophoresis and Why Should I Trust It?

Iontophoresis is the process of delivering a voltage gradient on the skin, usually the feet, underarms and hands. It is recommended for people who have tried clinical antiperspirants, but need something stronger, with evidence showing that it can reduce sweating by between 80 and 90%. A medical device is used to pass a mild electrical current through water and through the skins surface.

The treatment is designed to be safe with the device being approved for medical use. Mild side that occasionally occur include:

• Mild temporary tingling and burning
• Mild reddening after treatment
• Mild skin redness or blisters
• Mild skin irritability

Can I Use the HIDREX ConnectION Machine at Home?

The HIDREX ConnectION is designed for professional medical use, however this does not mean that it cannot be used at home. We would recommend that before you do, you read about hyperhidrosis and get a professional medical opinion. Ultimately, iontophoresis has been used successfully at home by excessive sweaters for a long time, so there's no reason why this machine can't be used at home unless you have any of the conditions on the do not use checklist.

Due to the MyHIDREXApp, it means that you can connect your phone to your Iontophoresis Machine. This is ideal for use at home, as it means you can easily adjust the settings without getting too confused with the machine settings. It also lets you store previous settings to ensure repeated use is accurate and catered to you.

How Long Lasting Is the ConnectION Direct and Pulsed Current Machine?

The ConnectION Direct Machine is designed to last for a significant amount of time. The machine is meant to be used every week until your sweating is mostly under control, which means that the machine is designed for continuous use over the period of years rather than weeks.

How Safe is the HIDREX ConnectION Direct and Pulsed Machine?

You might be concerned that the HIDREX ConnectION Machine isn't safe, as it is designed to pass electrical currents through your body. A series of safeguarding measures have been taken to ensure that the machine isn't a threat. These include:

• Immersion Monitoring: Ensures that the power output works its way up from zero, rather than from 60V.
• Excessive Treatment Protection: If your skin is already dry, the machine will not let you raise the dose. The device will also check your skin conductance, and will not exceed your specified tolerance.
• Limiting of Current: Features a maximum permitted treatment current that can be reached before the set dose voltage is reached.
• Protection Circuit: If treatment level exceeds 35mA or more (due to a mechanical fault for example), the machine is automatically designed to read "STOP" with all of the LEDs flashing. If this happens, please switch off the device.

Do NOT use the device if:

• You are fitted with a pacemaker
• You are pregnant
