DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Do not use this device without your physician’s specific recommendations for the frequency
and duration of your treatments.
The most common recommendation is to use cold therapy at least 4 times a day, for
approximately 30 minutes each time, with at least a 30-minute break between treatments.
While the temperature is adjustable, it is reported that the greatest benefit from cold therapy
is in the 40-60°F temperature range. Generally reported compression recommendations
are for “None” to “Low” pressure settings during the first 24-48 hours after surgery or
injury, increasing to “Medium” or “High” only if it is comfortable after the first 48 hours.
We recommend that “High” pressure is never applied if you are confined to bed.
Be sure to read further safety warnings on pages 12-13 of this User’s Manual.
MODES OF OPERATION
Manual Mode: The System automatically starts in this mode, and allows the user to
adjust treatment time and pressure settings.
Program Mode: This mode allows the user to choose one of six treatment programs that
provide therapy for a set time then sleep (no treatment) for a set time, continuously, at a
specific pressure setting.
Drain Mode: Allows a user to connect a Hose with a special Hose Adapter (purchased
separately) to the unit, enter Drain Mode and have the unit empty the water out of the ice
box through the Hose. Drain Mode can be accessed by pressing the program key and
toggling through all six programs. To empty water in the System while in Drain Mode, press
the program key until you reach Drain Mode, attach the Hose Adapter to the Connector Hose,
place the Hose Adapter over a sink, and press the Play button. Drain Mode
will run the Control Unit’s fluid pump for up to six minutes (long enough
to fully empty the ice box). Drain Mode is indicated by the following icons:
BUTTONS
Power: Use this button to turn the Control Unit on and off.
Program: Use this button to select one of the available Programs or to return to
Manual Mode. See page 8 in this manual for more information on Programs.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
To adjust the temperature being applied during treatment, simply turn the temperature
knob towards 3 snowflakes for the maximum amount of cold, or towards 1 snowflake for
the least amount of cold. Notice that as you adjust the knob, the “Target Temperature” on
the display will change. The System will automatically adjust to match the temperature you
have selected.
TIP: The maximum amount of cold is dictated by the amount of ice in the reservoir and the
setting of the temperature adjustment knob. You may need to stir or replenish the ice to
achieve coldest temperatures. Ice will melt faster in the acute phases of injury as the Game
Ready System is removing greater amounts of heat from the treatment site.
