How to use Polar Ice Therapy Machine?
Setting Up Polar active Ice 3.0 Machine
- Always begin with the 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.
- Open the reservoir and fill it with ice near the top of the cooler. Fill the reservoir with large blocks of ice for an extended cooling time. For example: freeze water in milk cartons, then tear away the carton.
- Add cold tap water to the fill line, approximately 1.5 to 2 quarts. Always ensure the water covers the pump. Do not overfill. Never operate the unit without water! This can cause pump failure.
- Connect the therapy bladder hose to the cooler hose. Depress tabs on couplings before connecting. Couplings click when they are properly locked together.
- Plug the power supply into the unit and a wall outlet. If using a battery pack, follow the instructions with the pack.
- Adjust the temperature control to Coldest and turn the timer knob clockwise to turn the unit on. Allow the unit to run for a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize before using the system. Always ensure that there is water flowing through the top return tube to the cooling reservoir.
- Use the enclosed elastic belt with hook and loop tabs to hold the universal bladder comfortably on the targeted body part. Always use an insulation barrier such as webril, Kerlix, cast padding, or elastic bandage between the therapy bladder and the skin.
- Adjust the temperature control to the desired level. Refill the reservoir with ice when the temperature has risen above the desired temperature. Drain water if necessary.
- Confirm that water is flowing through the return flow tube at the top of the cooler when the system is on.
Instructions:
- Do not turn the system on until all connections are complete and the hose from the cooler to the wrap is free from bends or restrictions.
- Place the bladder over the targeted area with the smooth side toward the skin. Always use this bladder with a protective layer of fabric between the bladder and the skin.
- Use the elastic belt, tab, or compression wrap to comfortably hold the bladder in place. Place the bladder on the target body part and hold it with the elastic strap.
- Connect the bladder tubes to the Active Ice System tubes with the quick connect couplings. Depress the tab on the female coupling first, then press the system coupling into the bladder coupling until the user hears a click sound. This click is the sound of the couplings connecting and locking into place.
- Be sure the hoses are not restricted or bent, as this will restrict water flow through the entire system.
