[quote="dimsum"]thx, I just finished my first session using 15mA on my hands. It says that the maximum setting for the hands is 15 mA, but i feel like it's not strong enough because when I used the homemade device before with baking soda, my palms would have a stronger tingling effect compared to this one. Do I need to increase even though the recommended setting is 15mA? If I can increase, what's the maximum that YOU recommend?[/quote]

That is why homemade iontophoresis devices can be dangerous. The manufacturer recommends 15 mA as a safe setting to get no burns (but this depends on the thickness of the skin in the area being treated).
In your case, I sent you a pm with a routine and tip about the mA you can use.
Most homemade devices have another simple problem: you have a voltage (e.g., 12 volts) that you can feel more, because to have a therapeutic effect there must flow more than 35 mA, or you have no possibility to regulate the voltage, or even not the mAmps.
-- Hidrex goes up to 60 volt at 35 mA idromed 72 Volt at 25 mA.
-- A homemede device is mostly a car battery and there you can't adjust it to a 60-72 volt current.
So 12 volt is too little , you have more than 12 volt adjusted with the Hidrex, right? With a homemade device you have the problem of a fixed voltage and you can't regulate the mA.
Furthermore , changes in sometimes non stable current circuits can feel uncomfortable. You can't compare the currents of our clinically approved Iontophoresis units with homemade iontophoresis devices.
Currents over 35 mA and a defined voltage can be dangerous for your life! Even with a non-medical power supply (WHAT IS A "NON-MEDICAL" POWER SUPPLY)?
I would not recommend using a homemade iontophoresis device!!!

You do not need to add anything to the water with this iontophoresis unit.
Idromed GS
is the same as
Idromed DC
.
GS stands for GleichStrom (in German), which means Direct Current (in English).

Post subject: General Questions about Idromed 5
I just received the package from Markus, i have a few questions:
1) The device is called Idromed 5 GS, but I ordered Idromed 5 DC, did you send me the wrong one?
2) I used to do treatments using the homemade Iontopheresis device, where I would add baking soda to make the water hard. However, this causes the Aluminum plates to rust, will that happen to your plates? I ordered the Premium Stainless Steel plates.
