medical conditions make cold- induced injury more likely.
Use only as prescribed
Do not use this device if you did not receive or do not understand the instructions. Use only according
to your healthcare professional's instructions regarding the frequency, duration, and settings of cold and
compression application and length of breaks between uses, how and when to inspect the skin, and
total length of treatment.
Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a healthcare professional. The Polar Care
Wave and cold-compression pads are intended for single patient use only, dispensed with a prescription.
The prescription must include:
• The frequency, duration, and settings of the cold and compression application
• Length of breaks between uses
• How and when to inspect the skin
• Total length of treatment
Inspect skin regularly
Patients vary in sensitivity to cold, regularly inspect the skin under the cold-compression pad (by lifting the
edge) as prescribed, typically every 1 to 2 hours. Do not use the Polar Care Wave unit if skins checks are
inhibited by a barrier.
Stop using and consult your healthcare professional immediately if you experience any adverse reactions, such
as: increased pain, burning, increased swelling, itching, blisters, increased redness, discoloration, welts, irritation
and other changes in skin appearance, or any other reaction identified by your healthcare professional.
