USES
•
Cold Rush pads are for single patient use only
•
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 injury to the skin.
Correct temperature range for each patient's skin should be determined on an
individual basis by a licensed healthcare 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 practitioner.
•
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 professional.
•
Care should be taken during use for children, diabetics, incapacitated 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 guidance 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 manual. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
