How Do I Use the Cryo/Cuff?
To understand how to prepare, apply and use the Cryo/Cuff, follow these four simple steps:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Connect the blue tube to the cooler and fill the cooler to the line with water. Add ice and rest the insulation disk on top before closing the cooler shut. Allow up to five minutes for the water to chill before use.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
Position the cuff on either the knee or elbow with the quick disconnect valve pointing upwards. (See figure 1).
Slightly flex the knee or elbow to allow mobility and secure using the straps provided. Tighten the straps to meet your child's comfort. (See figure 2).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Connect the blue tube to the cuff and open the cooler air vent located on the cooler lid. Lift the cooler so that it is approximately 15 inches above the level of the cuff. Hold the cooler in this position for about 30 seconds until the cuff is full. (See figure 3).
Close the air vent and disconnect the cuff by pressing the metal tab.
Step Four: Rechill Water
To rechill the water between uses, reconnect the blue tube to the cuff and position the cooler so that it is beneath the level of the cuff. This will allow the water to drain from the cuff, back into the cooler. Allow up to two minutes for the water to chill before repeating treatment.
For more information on how to use the Cryo/Cuff, please see the manual below:
How Long Can I Use the Cryo/Cuff for with Each Treatment?
You can use the Cryo/Cuff to administer treatment for up to two hours per use. It is recommended that you give a period of at least 20 minutes cessation between each therapy session to allow for patient recovery.
Use Skin Protection While Using the Cryo/Cuff
You must wrap the skin of the affected area using either a cloth, bandage or similar before using the cuff. This is to create a bridge between your child and the cuff in order to prevent risk of further injury while using the device, such as skin burn.
How Do I Clean the Cuff?
To clean the cuff and cooler, handwash with a mild detergent and hot water before rinsing and leaving to air dry.
