Nanoduct Neonatal Sweat Analysis System for early laboratory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The Nanoduct System provides iontophoresis for 2 ˝ minutes followed by continuous flow conductivity analysis on only 3 microliters of sweat. The Nanoduct System also provides the initial sweating rate. While Nanoduct is designed for neonates, it works equally well on patients of any age.

Current profiled for patient comfort. For use with Pilogel Iontophoretic discs and with multiple fail-safe features to limit current even in failure mode.  Nominal current is 0.5 mA for 2.5 minutes.

CURRENT LIMIT (Failure Mode)

Maximum failure mode current limited to 5 mA with fresh battery.
