moisture during use, which may create colder temperatures on
the skin. Temperatures that are too cold may result in serious
injury, including tissue necrosis. ALWAYS check for moisture on
the barrier between your skin and the cold pad. If moisture is pres-
ent on the barrier, immediately discontinue use of this device.
• Poor connections between hoses may cause leaking, which may
result in serious injury, including infection and tissue necrosis. AL-
WAYS listen for a “snap” or “click” when connecting the IceMan®
cold therapy unit hose to the cold pad hose. Use only IceMan®
cold pads.
