Applying the Universal Pad
Ensure the pad and tubing are straightened to prevent kinks that could impede water circulation. The plastic side of the pad should face your body, and the gray side should face away.
General Application Steps:
- Place the universal pad directly on the affected body part.
- Use the provided elastic wraps to secure the pad firmly but comfortably in place. Ensure the wraps do not restrict circulation or cause discomfort.
Specific Applications:
- **Knee**: Position the pad around the knee joint. Use the elastic wraps to secure it, ensuring full coverage of the affected area.
- **Shoulder**: Place the pad over the shoulder. Use the medium elastic wrap to secure it around the body and the smaller wrap for the arm cuff portion.
- **Hip/Back**: Position the pad over the hip or lower back area. Use the longest elastic wrap to secure it around the torso.
- **Ankle**: 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 create a figure-eight pattern and secure with Velcro.
Maintenance
- **Draining**: After each use, or when changing ice/water, ensure the unit is powered off. Disconnect the tubing and carefully drain any remaining water from the reservoir and the pad.
- **Cleaning**: Clean the reservoir and pad with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow all components to air dry completely before storage. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- **Storage**: Store the unit and all accessories in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure tubing is not kinked during storage.
- **Regular Inspection**: Periodically inspect the tubing and pad for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace components if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water circulation | Power not connected; unit not powered on; tubing kinked; insufficient water/ice. | Ensure AC adapter is plugged in and unit is switched on. Check for kinks in tubing. Verify ice and water levels are above minimum. |
| Water leaking from connections | Tubing not securely connected; damaged O-rings or connectors. | Ensure all quick-connect fittings are fully engaged and clicked into place. Inspect O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Therapy not cold enough | Insufficient ice; ice has melted; water not cold enough. | Add more ice to the reservoir. Replace melted ice with fresh ice. Ensure water added is cold. |
| Unit not turning on | Power cable disconnected; power switch off; faulty power outlet. | Check power cable connection. Ensure power switch is in the 'on' position. Try a different power outlet. |
