Applying the Universal Pad

General Application

If using the sterile dressing, place it on the pad before application. Otherwise, straighten the hose and pad out, ensuring there are no kinks that would impede the circulation of water. Place the pad with the plastic side down and the gray side away from the body. Apply to the affected body part and use the elastic wraps to secure the pad to the body.

Back/Hip Application

For back or hip pain, place the universal pad on your affected area. Use the longest elastic wrap to secure the pad firmly in place around your torso.

Shoulder Application

For shoulder therapy, place the universal pad over your shoulder. Use the medium elastic wrap on the backside of the pad, wrap it around your body, then up to secure. Use the smaller wrap to secure the arm cuff portion of the pad around your arm.

Ankle Application

For ankle therapy, center the pad on top of the foot with the thermal tubing at the top. Wrap the pad around both sides of the ankle. Use the medium-sized wrap to make a figure-eight pattern and secure the wrap with Velcro around your ankle and foot.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Brace Direct Digital Frozen Heat Hot and Cold Water Therapy Machine, regular maintenance is recommended:

• After each use, drain any remaining water from the reservoir and tubing.
• Clean the reservoir and pad with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow all components to air dry completely before storage.
• Store the unit and accessories in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Periodically check tubing and connections for any signs of wear or damage. Replace components if necessary.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your therapy machine, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Power: Ensure the AC adapter is securely plugged into both the unit and a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch on the back of the unit.
• No Water Flow: Verify that the thermal tubing and universal pad are correctly and securely connected to the unit. Check for any kinks or blockages in the tubing. Ensure the reservoir has sufficient water and ice.
• Leaking: Confirm that the lid is properly sealed and the red button has snapped into place. Check all quick connect couplings for a secure click. Inspect the pad and tubing for any visible damage.
• Incorrect Temperature: Ensure adequate ice for cold therapy or proper hot water for heat therapy. The unit maintains temperature based on the water added.
