Sweat-induction iontophoresis system

A sweat-induction iontophoresis system is a medical device that uses a low-voltage electrical current to introduce water-soluble electrolytic substances into the skin, typically pilocarpine, to stimulate sweat production. This process allows for the collection of sweat samples that can be analyzed for chloride and sodium concentrations, primarily aiding in the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.

These systems typically include a generator that supplies electricity through electrodes and may contain devices for sweat collection and containment. The regulation and classification of these devices vary by jurisdiction, with specific requirements depending on the intended use and design features of the system.
