ADJUSTING PRESSURE
Press the pressure button on the control panel to adjust the level of compression.
The system has four pressure options:
1. No pressure:
circulates the ice water only,
2. Low pressure:
inflates and deflates the Wrap from 5-15 mm Hg over approximately a
5 minute cycle,
3. Medium pressure:
inflates and deflates the Wrap from 5-50 mm Hg
over approximately a 3 minute cycle, or
4. High pressure:
inflates and deflates the Wrap
from 5-75 mm Hg over approximately a 3 minute cycle.
The appropriate pressure icon will flash as the unit cycles pressure. The left-hand side
of the icon will appear and flash as the pressure cycles up, and then the right-hand side
will appear and flash as the pressure cycles down. Large Wraps, such as the Knee Wrap,
will have longer pressure cycles than smaller Wraps, such as the Ankle. The system will
default to the low pressure mode for all Wraps. To adjust the pressure, press once for
medium pressure, twice for high pressure and three times for no pressure. If you press
pause for any reason, such as to switch Wraps, the pressure will remain in its previously
selected mode until you press the pressure setting button to adjust. Only by turning the
system off will it reset to the default pressure mode.
Note:
If you have a Pre-Programmed Unit, the system will default to Pre-Set Program 1
(no compression). You can press the Timer button to select an alternate program or to
access Manual Mode, where you can adjust pressure and time settings.
Warning:
The Cooling Vest should only be operated on no pressure or low pressure.
Do not operate the Cooling Vest on medium or high pressure.
Changing Pressure During Treatment
The pressure cannot be adjusted while the system is in use. To adjust the pressure,
press the pause button, change the pressure to the desired mode, and then press the
start button to resume therapy.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
Press the °C/°F button to choose your desired mode. By turning the temperature knob,
you can adjust the amount of ice water being pumped through the Wrap. Turn the knob
towards the three snowflakes for colder or towards the one snowflake for warmer. With
a full ice box, typically the Control Unit will provide cold therapy between 35 °F and 50 °F.
SETTING TREATMENT TIME
Each time the power button is used to turn the system on, the hourglass icon will appear
and the timer will automatically set for 15 minutes. If you press start, the system will
run for 15 minutes, then stop. Adjust the length of a timed session by pressing the plus
or minus keys to your desired time, from 0-95 minutes, in 5 minute increments. Once
you‘ve set the desired treatment time, press the start button. An hourglass icon will
appear on the control panel to indicate the timer is running. When the time is up, the
alarm will beep and the system will stop.
Changing Timer During Treatment
To add or subtract minutes while the timer is running, you must first press pause, then
press the plus or minus buttons. (If you press the timer setting button or the plus or
minus buttons while the system is in use, the system will not respond.)
Running The System Continuously
If you’d rather run the system continuously, just press the timer button once, the display
will change to zero, and the hourglass icon will disappear. Press start and the system will
run and begin counting elapsed time. The system will run for a maximum of 190 minutes,
by counting up to 95 minutes and then back down to zero. After 190 minutes, the system
will stop and remain in pause mode.
