GENERAL INFORMATION
IONO BASE PLUS is a unit producing galvanic current, so it is suitable for
galvanization, galvanic bath and medicinal ionophoretic administration, designed and manufactured for outpatient and home applications. Unit has two channels completely divided, able to supply the maximum current (or galvanic) of 20mA, with regulation and visualization by single step display. The effect shown during the galvanic current passage is an heating localized at the treated zone. This effect is caused by the transformation of a part of electric energy in Joule effect and it is proportional to the current intensity delivered for the supply time. To the Joule effect is associated a fast antalgic action that continues more than treatment time. Galvanic current has also the property of extraction of water molecules from aedematous tissues through the electro-osmosis.
Classic use of galvanic current is called medicinal ionophoresis, for the local drugs administration.
Good results of the ionophoretic treatment depend:
– from drug purity and from absence of unwanted ions. It is recommended to
use distilled water for water dilutions.
– from cleaning of treated surfaces. – from correct polarity of electrodes: positive ions go to n eagative polarity and
vice versa.
– from the current intensity that it shall be so that the patient feels a little
tingling sensation, but not a noise sensation.
– from the concentration of medicinal so lution.

INTENDED USE
The IONO BASE PLUS unit is a therapeutic currents generator, for a short time use, destined to rehabilitative treatments of galvanization and ionop horesis for out patient and domicialiar enviroment by the final user, after medical or paramedical staff control specialized in physical therapy with the knowledge of the application’s points and the currents’ effects, that must be suitable to the type and state of the illness. The application of the therapeutic currents would have to be prescribed after a careful diagnosis of the illness. It is recommended the use of IONO BASE PLUS after medical or paramedical staff control specialized in physical therapy with the knowledge of the application’s points and the currents’ effects, that must be suitable to the type and state of the illness. IONO BASE PLUS must be used with the supplied accessories or with replacing accessories recommended by the producer. The use of IONO BASE PLUS is indicated in case of:
– arthritis – arthrosis – bursitis – myalgia – tendinitis, to have an analgesic effect – in the diseases where there is the necessity to deliver into the tissues drugs or
solutions like not steroid antiphlogistic, hydrocortisonic local anaesthetic.
It is also recommended its use to reduce the hyperhydrosis by the effect of re-balance of the potential’s difference between the derma and the surface skin, the unbalance of this potential allows a great perspiration, and the reduction of the output hole of the channel that allows to the glands to take out the perspiration.

GALVANIC THERAPY
The galvanic therapy is used to cure a lot of diseases of the organism, like arthritis, arthrosis, lumbar pains, lumbosciatalgia, cervicalgia, muscular tears, etc. It is used in aesthetic applications, above all for treatments against cellulitis, to h arden and tonify the muscle.
This therapy is called “galvanic” because the galvanic current (continuous), known for its positive effects on the human body. The passage of galvanic current causes an hyperaemia localized on the treated zone, due to the partial transformation of electric energy into Joule’s Effect and proportional to the current intensity supplied multiplied for the delivery time. To the Joule’s Effect is associated a very intense antalgic action lasting more than treatment time. Galvan ic current is also used for its property to extract water molecules from oedematous tissues through the electro-osmosis. But the most used method by galvanic current is the medical ionophoresis, to the local delivery of drugs. The continuous current delivers active ions of a drug into water solution, by an antalgic action, against pain, eutrophic (increasing muscular volume).
GALVANIZATION
Galvanization is the moving of ions with increasing of the permeability of cellular membrane and changing capability. This method allows the taking in of nutritive substances and the taking off of waste substances (catabolites), with a consequent eutrophic effect. Three modalities of electrodes’applications can be distinguished:
- longitudinal descendant galvanization: proximal positive electrode (trophic
effect)
- ascendant longitudinal galvanization: distal positive electrode (antalgic
effect))
- cross galvanization: opposed electrodes. Galvanic bath: body segments dipped
into water basin containing the electrodes.
IONOPHORESIS
Ionophoresis ia an electro-therapic technique using the continuous current (galvanic) to introduce drugs into the pain zone, of contracture or with un-aesthetisms. The used active principle could be negative or positive polarity and according to this it may be placed on the cathode or anode of the electromedical (the electrode is not in direct contact with the skin, but by interposing a sponge). Through the supplied current,
MA342IGBa
Page 7
GIMA SpA
IONO BASE PLUS
the active principle is delivered from a pole to the other, crossing the zone interested by pathology or un-aesthetism, delivering the specific active principle that will act by its physic-chemical characteristics Thanks to this method there are two advantages:
- avoiding to take drugs by mouth that cause collateral effects on liver, stomach,
kidneys, etc.;
- curing directly the interested zone against pains caused by arthritis, arthrosis,
sciatica, muscular tears, etc. and pathologies like cellulitis and adiposis, obtaining a fast result.
By using the physical principle of ionic migration from a pole to the other, polarized drugs are prepared, containing positive, negative ions or both (bipolar), that will be applied on the electrodes according to their polarity. If the drug has positive polarity, it will be applied on the positive electrode, while if negative on the negative electrode, if bipolar in both way. The current will deliver the active principle into the tissue, because the ions of the same active principle will move to the ossed pole until to the complete absorption of the product.
Therapeutical effects of the ionophoresis are:
- antalgic effect
- anti-phlogistic
- anti-aedemigen
- miorelaxing
- recalcifying
But the good result of the ionophoretic treatment depends on some factors:
- pureness of the drug and absence of undesired ions. It’s recommended to use,
by water solutions, distilled water.
- cleaning of treated zone.
- correct polarity of the electrodes: positive ions move to negative polarity and
vice versa. (To invert the polarity it needs to invert the cables on the equipment). invertire la polarità è sufficiente invertire i cavi sull'apparecchiatura).
- current intensity that may be so that the patient feels a little sensation of pins
and needles, but not a wrong sensation.
- concentration of medicinal solution della soluzione medicamentosa.

CONTRAINDICATIONS AND COLLATERAL
EFFECTS
ATTENTION: The present unit produces galvanic current. Consider the electrolytic effects caused by the galvanic current. All treatments with electric currents must be made under medical control. the electric stimulation is contraindicated in patients:
with implanted pace-maker or other electronic system, or near these patients; heart patient; with heavy unbalance of arterial pressure; with heavy diseases of the nervous system; with heavy renal insufficiency; with metal prosthesis and/or magnetizing means of synthesis; in pregnancy woman; haemorrhagic; epileptic; with metal prosthesis; with disease of thermo sensibility; not aware; asthenic. in infant-youthful age.
The application is contraindicated too:
in tumoral focus; on the abdomen, in all case of calculosis or inflammation; near the heart for the risk of ventricular fibrillation or of syncope on skin parts with some discontinuity like cuts, punctures, eczemas, etc.. for the
burnings’ risk because there are points or parts with low resistance and for this concentration of the current in these points with consequent great thermical and
istochemical effect. Local reactions are possible like urticaria that not often overcomes the surface of the electrode. These reactions disappear after some hour. The headache can associate to local urticaria. If it happens decrease the current’s level used and/or the treatment time. If the headache does not disappear, interrupt the treatments. The burnings are often caused by an excessive current’s level or by a wrong position of the electrodes (ex. discovered electrode in contact with the skin) or wrong concentration of used drugs. NOTE: The current’s intensity that it is normally necessary is 0,02 – 0,05 mA for cm of used electrodes’ surface, in any case it can exceed 0,1 mA for cm

APPLICATIONS
The supplied information in this chapter must not consider as a therapeutic guide because the applicative procedures must be under the physician’s responsibility. The modalities of treatment have to be indicated by medical staff legally authorized. No responsibility is assumed by the supplier of this equipment, for consequences due to treatments, without the pass check by medical staff. Initial daily applications are recommended, to pass to alternate days application, increasing the pause days between the application until to have the desired result. It is recommended to make any cycles of repeated sessions at least two times in one year.
THERAPEUTICAL AND AESTHETIC IONOPHORESIS
The ionophoresis is a procedure that consists in the use of unidirectional electric current to allow the penetration into the tissues, without break the skin covering, the active ions of a chemical or medicinal product. The electrolythic power of the current is only one of its physiochemical properties, there is a replacement of Cl and Na ions with others with pharmacologic properties useful in therapy. The penetration of ions, that go in direction of the electrodes opposite to them, happens following the way of the excretory channels of sudoriferous and sebaceous glands, developping in the dherma where they accumulate not overcoming the capillary bed. In the same time the ions are drained by the local circle and dispersed by the blood flow in a better way if the used current has the inside property to produce hyper-vascularization of sub-cutaneous tissue. For this it is very important to use electrodes with great surface and sprinkle the product on the sponge of all electrodes. When the passage into the skin is happened, the electromotory forces are sufficient to allow the penetration of the ions in depth. Now a sort of mechanical propulsion by muscular fibrillation caused by the current’s passage and felt like a swarming. The elimination of the ions happens with the excretions and increases in the first days with the excretions, overtakes a level that is constant until to the day after the last session and then decreases in more days. The biological effects of the ionophoresis correspond to the amount of the following elementary effects: physical, physical­chemical, biological intrinsic to the used current, pharmacological effects, directly associated to the nature and quantity of the penetrated ions by the trans-cutaneous into the tissues. The help effect of the ionophoresis is made by this type of action:
- slower but more lasting than the which one assigned to the classic
pharmacology by the use of the usual ways of giving;
- it is not proportional to the lower quantity of the given product thanks
ionophoresis;
MA342IGBa
Page 15
GIMA SpA
IONO BASE PLUS
- it is a better action if the same substance is given by oral, rectal or parenteral
way too, always associating the same product. The particularity of the active action of the ions is explained admitting that the polarized current acts by two modalities and in two successive times:
- In the first time the active ions overtake the tissue level, by the passag e in the
transcutaneous way produced by the application of an unidirectional current.
- Then the ions have physical-chemical, electrolytic effects of the polarized
current. These ions, dipped in an electric field, from the blood vessels, go easy in th e interstitial holes of the connective tissue and proceeding their walk meet cellular membranes, and they change the polarization of these walls losing electric charges. In fact, they are now in neutral state. This change of membranes’ polarization allows the better action of the therapeutic activity of the used product, the duration of the help effects of the medical or aesthetical treatment. Only the unidirectional currents have the ionophoretic property. A bidirectional current do not cause ions migration because they are solicited to go alternatively and for a shortest time to an electrode and to an opposite one. The electrolytic power of the ionophoresis of an unidirectional current is proportional to the supplied current’s quantity. The ions quantity that crosses the sk in wall thanks the electrolysis can be calculated by the Faraday’s formula, so during a session of T time and for a same value of maximal current intensity, the ionophoretic power is maximum if a continuous current is used; it is lower if a low frequency and long time current is used; minimum if pulsating or faradic current is used. usually the ionophoretic current is applied transversely, with the electrodes in opposition, or longitudinally, with an electrode applied to the end of a limb and th e other one in its origin, as shown in the following.

HYPERHYDROSIS
The therapy is made graduating a low intensity current generator connected to two water containers (for the hands and feet’s hyperhydrosis), can be used some suitable sizes containers, it is better in insulation material (plastic container for foods). If you use conductive material container (aluminium), the two containers must not be in contact and keep attention to not touch, with wrist or ankle, the container, during the treatment. Connect to the output cables the electrodes covering them with the sponge-envelope (see fig.8 or chapter “Installation and treatment start”). Dip the two electrodes recovered by the sponge-envelopes, positive and negative of the same channel in two different containers, one for the positive and another one for the negative one. Add water so that when the hands or feet are dipped, the level do not higher than the which one shown in the figures C e D of the next paragraph. The output level must be so that the patient feels a little current passage without any troubles. In the hands treatment it needs to be assisted by a trained person that controls the unit during the treatment. Before start the treatment, it is recommended to check that the position is comfortab le so that you do not move the limbs. If it is necessary, before move again the hands or feet from the containers, interrupt the treatment on the unit (key stop to stop the output’s current). At least ten sessions are necessary (20 minutes for every one). After the first four-five sessions there is an improvement that proceeds by the successive sessions until to the normal-hydrosis. The cure usually allows a garrison of a duration between 30 and 60 days. Then it needs to subject to a keeping therapy with short cycles of sessions.
