Important Safeguards:

The following safety precautions should always be followed when using CRYOTherm.

1. Use CRYOTherm only as directed in this manual. Improper use can cause injury.

2. Do not plug CRYOTherm into any electrical outlet that is not protected by a ground fault interrupter and matches
the voltage and amperage specification.

3. Do not modify the power cord in any way or use with any type extension cord.

4. Do not permit any electrical appliance such as television, radios, lamps, clocks, fans, etc. within 5 feet of the tank
water, doing so creates the risk of electrical shock.

5. Maintain CRYOTherm as described in this manual. Improper maintenance can cause injury.

6. Do not modify CRYOTherm in any way or attach additional appliances to the frame without consultation with the
Grimm Scientific factory.

7. Do not use CRYOTherm if any broken or non-functional components are found, doing so may result in additional
damage.

8. Use only Grimm-approved parts and service, improper parts or service can cause harm to the system and/or
users.

9. To prevent the transmission of pathogens, people with infectious diseases or open wounds should not use the
CRYOTherm.

10. Thoroughly clean the tanks with a disinfectant at least once a week. Refer to the care and maintenance section
for further safeguards and instructions for cleaning CRYOTherm, use of an antibacterial agent when filling the
tanks helps prevent or reduce infection.

11. Do not utilize warm or hot water treatment where there is hemorrhaging or swelling.

12. Patients with any medical contraindications to cryotherapy, thermotherapy, or hydrotherapy should not use
CRYOTherm. Some conditions may include but are not limited to; obesity, heart disease, low or high BP,
circulatory problems, diabetes, sickle cell anemia.

13. Prolonged immersion in the tubs may cause harm.

- Be aware that patients may develop heat stress syndrome when CRYOTherm is used at high
temperatures for prolonged periods.

- Be aware that patients may develop hypothermia when CRYOTherm is used at low temperatures for
prolonged periods.

14. Never allow patients to use drugs or alcohol before using CRYOTherm, doing so increases the risk of
hypothermia, hyperthermia, loss of consciousness, and drowning.

15. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult their physician before using CRYOTherm.

Installation:

1. Site Preparation

The attached Spec Sheet indicates the utilities necessary for installation of the CRYOTherm. Consideration should
also be made for the 6,186-pound load this unit will place on the floor and building structure.

2. Level CRYOTherm

Several 5/8-11 stainless steel hex head leveling feet are provided to give uniform support. Thread these into the
frame before positioning the unit. Place a level on the top Corian surface and level the CRYOTherm.

3. Drain Connections

A 1-1/2-inch copper drain connection is provided. This should be positioned over an open, trapped floor drain with an
adequate air gap. Refer to local plumbing codes for specific requirements.

4. Cold Water Supply Connection

A ¾” NPT connection is provided for connection to the cold water supply. An internal backflow preventer protects the
supply and requires annual inspection. This supply fills the tank and cools the condensing unit.

When the supply pressure fails, the high-pressure cutout on the refrigeration system will trip making it necessary to
press the reset (see #13 under control functions) after the pressure is restored.

5. Electrical Connection

Power requirements for the Model 4500 CRYOTherm are 208 volts, Single-Phase, 60 hertz, 24 amps.
Only plug the CRYOTherm into a voltage-matched NEMA 14-30R 3-pole, 4-wire grounding outlet that is properly

grounded, polarized, and 30 Amp ground-fault-circuit-interrupter (GFCI) protected.
Use professional electrical assistance and follow the National Electrical and local codes as a minimum.
