Aircast Ankle Cryo/Cuff

Cryotherapy should not be used on persons with Raynaud’s or other vasospastic disease, cold hypersensitivity, decreased skin sensitivity, or compromised local circulation. This device can be cold enough to cause serious injury, including tissue necrosis. You must be able to check your skin condition under the Cuff (DO NOT use if you cannot check your skin condition frequently). People are sensitive to cold in diverse ways and may react differently to cold treatment. Check for increased pain, burning, numbness, tingling, increased redness, discolouration, itching, increased swelling, blisters, irritation or other changes in skin condition under the Cuff or around the treatment area. If you experience any of these conditions, immediately discontinue use of the device and contact your physician. Check for moisture. If moisture is present on the Cuff, immediately discontinue use of the device. Do not use an elastic wrap in conjunction with the Cryo/Cuff. Dressings used under the Cryo/Cuff should be applied lightly. When filling the Cryo/Cuff, do not raise the cooler higher than 15 inches (38 cm) above the cuff to avoid excessive pressure. Reduce pressure with any sense of discomfort, numbness or tingling of the limb. The Cryo/Cuff is designed for single patient use only and may be used on the same patient for the length of treatment. The device should be cleaned if it is used on the same patient for an extended period of time (see “Cleaning Instructions” for cleaning information). Keep small parts and packaging materials away from small children and animals. These items pose a risk for suffocation or strangulation. It could be unsafe to use accessories, detachable parts and materials, or interconnect to other equipment not described in these instructions, or otherwise modified equipment.
