The DonJoy® IceMan® CLEAR3 Cold Therapy Unit with Universal Wrap-On Pad is a medical device designed to provide cold therapy to an affected area, such as the knee or shoulder. This device is intended for use under the prescription and guidance of a healthcare professional. It is crucial to read and understand all warnings and instructions for use before operating this device, as it can cause serious injury if not used correctly.
The IceMan® CLEAR3 unit works by circulating cold water through a wrap-on pad applied to the body. The main unit, a compact and portable device, holds ice and water. Once filled, the unit's pump circulates the chilled water through a hose connected to the wrap-on pad. This continuous circulation of cold water helps to reduce pain and swelling in the targeted area. The system is designed to maintain a consistent cold temperature, providing therapeutic benefits for post-operative recovery, injury management, and other conditions where cold therapy is indicated. The wrap-on pad is designed to conform to various body parts, ensuring effective and targeted cold application.
The device features a straightforward setup process, making it user-friendly. To begin, the main unit needs to be filled with ice up to a designated fill line, followed by cold water up to its own fill line. The lid is then placed on the device, ensuring the label faces up, and secured by raising the handle, which engages a locking mechanism. This secure lid prevents spills and ensures proper operation.
Connecting the cold therapy hose to the cooling pad is a critical step, and the design ensures a reliable connection. Users are instructed to "snap" or "click" the hoses together firmly, indicating a tight and snug fit. This secure connection is vital for preventing leaks and maintaining efficient water circulation.
To activate the device, the power cord is inserted into the connection on the back of the unit, and the power supply is plugged into a wall outlet. This simple plug-and-play operation allows for quick initiation of therapy.
The wrap-on pad itself is designed for universal application, adapting to different body parts like the knee and shoulder. For knee application, a barrier is first placed on the knee, followed by the wrap-on pad with the tube positioned upwards. A round flap on the pad is then placed over the patella. A strap is wrapped around the knee, securing the pad snugly but not too tightly, and then secured to itself to keep everything flat.
For shoulder application, a barrier is also placed on the shoulder, and the wrap-on pad is positioned with the tube facing downwards. The round flap is placed on the core of the shoulder. A short strap is wrapped from one side of the pad under the arm, ensuring a snug fit. Flaps are then folded towards the center. A longer strap is wrapped under the uninvolved arm and across the torso, then secured to itself to keep the pad flat and stable.
A crucial safety feature emphasized in the instructions is the mandatory use of a barrier between the cold pad and the skin. Users are explicitly warned not to let any part of the cold pad touch their skin directly. Regular checks for moisture on the barrier are also recommended; if moisture is present, use of the device should be immediately discontinued. This highlights the importance of preventing skin damage from direct cold exposure.
While the manual primarily focuses on usage, implied maintenance involves ensuring the cleanliness of the unit and its components. After each use, it is advisable to empty the unit of any remaining ice and water and allow it to dry to prevent mold or mildew growth. The hoses and wrap-on pad should also be inspected for any signs of wear or damage. Proper storage in a clean, dry place will contribute to the longevity of the device. The warranty information indicates that DJO, LLC will repair or replace parts of the unit for material or workmanship defects for a period of six months from the date of sale, suggesting that the device is designed for a reasonable lifespan with proper care. Regular inspection of the power cord for any fraying or damage is also a good practice to ensure safe operation. The simplicity of the design, with easily detachable hoses and a secure lid, facilitates cleaning and preparation for subsequent uses.
