(a)
CAUTION: Always begin with power supply unplugged.
Do not turn on the system until all
connections are complete and the hose from the cooler to the therapy bladder is free from
bends or restrictions, as this will restrict water flow through the system.
(b) Connect the therapy bladder hose tubes
to the Active Ice®System hose tubes
with the quick disconnect couplings. Be
sure the tab on the female coupling is
pushed all the way down then insert the
male couplings into the female
couplings. Couplings "click" when they
are properly locked together.
(c) If the
optional
#TCV temperature and
flow control was purchased, it should
be connected between the system
hose and the bladder using the quick
disconnect couplings. Connect as
described above. Turn the knob to
“Coldest.”
(d) Open the reservoir and fill with clean,
cold water to the water fill line in the
cooling reservoir. Be sure water covers
the pump in the reservoir.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE THE
UNIT WITHOUT WATER!
This can cause pump failure.
Do not
overfill the reservoir with water.
(e) Completely fill the reservoir with ice to the water return flow
tube located near the top of the reservoir.
(f) If the
optional
#TCD electronic temperature and flow control was
purchased, it should be plugged in between the timer control
and the cooling reservoir. Turn the control to #5 or “Coldest.”

Use Only as Prescribed
Patients first need to be assessed by their physicians for contraindications, risk factors, and
medical history, before using this product. Supervision may be necessary to ensure
precautions are followed, especially with young children and the elderly. Adhere strictly to your
practitioner’s instructions regarding use, treatment times, treatment frequency, settings, self-
assessment and best practices regarding your specific condition. See pages 9 and 10 of this
instruction manual for more information on warnings, and risk factors for cold induced injury
and/or contraindications.
Warning: An insulation barrier is required. Do not allow direct contact with the skin.
Always wear an insulation barrier between the skin and the Active Ice® bladder. Failure to use
an insulation barrier between the bladder pad and the skin can lead to injury.
If post-surgery dressing or bandages on target therapy area do not completely cover the skin,
place a piece of fabric over the bandage to ensure complete skin coverage.
CAUTION:
Bladder is not sterilized, never use on broken or bleeding skin.
The insulation barrier must be
dry, if moisture is present in the insulation barrier the skin may become colder than intended.
If moisture is found, replace with a dry barrier immediately.
