USE OF KNEE CUFF WITH INFLATABLE PAD & COLD PACK :
• A health care practitioner must state how long and how often the device should be used and the length of breaks between uses.

discoloration and skin or tissue necrosis if improperly used or monitored.

condition under the Cold Pack or around the treatment area. If you experience any of these conditions, immediately discontinue use of this device and
contact your physician.
• WARNING! Application of the Cold Packs directly on the skin may result in serious injury, including tissue necrosis. DO NOT let any part of the Cold
Pack touch your skin. ALWAYS use with a barrier/cloth between your skin and the Cold Pack.
• Keep the product away from children.
