Drug-delivery iontophoresis system electrode, active

This category refers to a dedicated electrode used in iontophoresis systems to deliver medication through the skin using a mild electric current. It is designed to be placed on the skin at the treatment site and connected to a current generator, enabling the transport of ionic drugs such as corticosteroids or local anesthetics from a built-in reservoir.

As a single-use device, it is intended for one patient and one treatment session only, and is typically supplied sterile. Regulatory oversight focuses on its role as an active component of a drug-delivery system, with classification and supply requirements based on its function in facilitating transcutaneous medication transport rather than as a standalone therapeutic agent.
