5. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your GALINAND Cold Therapy System:

1. Connect the Knee Pad and Pump: Connect the therapy pad's tubing to the detachable water pump using the quick-coupling connectors. Ensure a secure connection.
2. Connect Digital Controller and Power: Connect the digital controller to the water pump. Then, connect the AC power adapter to the digital controller and plug it into a power outlet.
3. Prepare the Insulated Bucket: Unfold the insulated bucket. Fill the bucket with ice and cold water. For optimal and prolonged cold therapy, use frozen water bottles (up to 8 x 479.1g bottles) instead of loose ice. Place the detachable water pump into the bucket, ensuring it is fully submerged in the water.
4. Apply Therapy Pad: Place the therapy pad on the targeted area (e.g., knee). Ensure a thin barrier is between the pad and your skin. Secure the pad with the integrated straps for a snug fit.
