Indications for Use
The Dynatron® Ion™ iontophoresis electrode is designed for clinical use to introduce soluble salts and other drugs into the body as an alternative to hypodermic injection.
Device Story
Dynatron® Ion™ iontophoresis electrode consists of an active drug delivery electrode and a return electrode. Device used in clinical settings by clinicians to deliver soluble salts and drugs into the body via iontophoresis, serving as an alternative to hypodermic injection. Electrodes are designed for single patient use. Device facilitates transdermal drug delivery; clinical benefit is non-invasive administration of medication.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Iontophoresis electrode system comprising an active drug delivery electrode and a return electrode. Designed for single patient use. No specific materials or energy source specifications provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the introduction of soluble salts and other drugs into the body as an alternative to hypodermic injection. Intended for clinical use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An iontophoresis device is a device that is intended to use a direct current to introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body and induce sweating for use in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or for other uses if the labeling of the drug intended for use with the device bears adequate directions for the device's use with that drug. When used in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, the sweat is collected and its composition and weight are determined. Additionally, an iontophoresis device intended for any other purposes is a prescription device that is intended to use a current to introduce ions of drugs or non-drug solutions into the body for medical purposes other than those specified in paragraph (a) of this section, meaning that the device is not intended for use in diagnosis of cystic fibrosis, or a specific drug is not specified in the labeling of the iontophoresis device.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is classified as class II. The special controls for this device are:(i) The following performance testing must be conducted: (A) Testing using a drug approved for iontophoretic delivery, or a solution if identified in the labeling, to demonstrate safe use of the device as intended; (B) Testing of the ability of the device to maintain a safe pH level; and (C) If used in the ear, testing of the device to demonstrate mechanical safety. (ii) Labeling must include adequate instructions for use, including sufficient information for the health care provider to determine the device characteristics that affect delivery of the drug or solution and to select appropriate drug or solution dosing information for administration by iontophoresis. This includes the following: (A) A description and/or graphical representation of the electrical output; (B) A description of the electrode materials and pH buffer; (C) When intended for general drug delivery, language referring the user to drug labeling approved for iontophoretic delivery to determine if the drug they intend to deliver is specifically approved for use with that type of device and to obtain relevant dosing information; and (D) A detailed summary of the device-related and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device, and appropriate warnings and contraindications, including the following warning: *Warning:* Potential systemic adverse effects may result from use of this device. Drugs or solutions delivered with this device have the potential to reach the blood stream and cause systemic effects. Carefully read all labeling of the drug or solution used with this device to understand all potential adverse effects and to ensure appropriate dosing information. If systemic manifestations occur, refer to the drug or solution labeling for appropriate action.(iii) Appropriate analysis/testing must demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, thermal safety, and mechanical safety. (iv) Appropriate software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed. (v) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible. (vi) The elements of the device that may contact the patient must be assessed for sterility, for devices labeled as sterile. (vii) Performance data must support the shelf life of the elements of the device that may be affected by aging by demonstrating continued package integrity and device functionality over the stated shelf life.
