USES

•
Cold Rush pads are designed to reduce localized pain and swelling
following surgical procedures or trauma.
WARNING
•
READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
OPERATING THE COLD RUSH COLD THERAPY SYSTEM.
•
The Cold Rush pad may become cold enough to cause serious inju-
ry to the skin. Correct temperature range for each patient's skin
should be determined on an individual basis by a licensed health-
care practitioner. Patients vary in sensitivity to cold. Periodically
monitor the temperature and appearance of the skin being treated
once steady flow of water through the pad is achieved.
•
The temperature at the surface of the skin may vary depending
upon the amount of dressing used and other factors beyond the
control of the manufacturer. Temperature and color of the skin at
the treatment site must be monitored by a licensed healcare practi-
tioner.
•
The Cold Rush Pad should never be applied directly to the patient's
skin. Do not use the Cold Rush Cold Therapy System without first
applying an insulation barrier between the Cold Rush Pad and the
patient's skin.
•
This Cold Rush pad is not sterile; do not apply over open or broken
skin. To obtain an Ossur sterile pad, contact your healthcare pro-
fessional.
•
Care should be taken during use for children, diabetics, incapaci-
tated patients and those with decreased skin sensitivity or poor
blood circulation.
•
If prescribed by a licensed healthcare practitioner for home use,
the heath care practitioner must provide each patient with guid-
ance for use of the device. As well, the healthcare practitioner
must monitor the patient's use of the device to assure appropriate
use of the device and proper application of cold therapy.
•
Use this product only for its intended use as described in this man-
ual. Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufac-
turer.
