Cleaning the PTU and Hoses
All components of the inCourage System may be cleaned with a damp, soft cloth and
mild detergent, or any commercial household/hospital disinfectant. This includes the
exterior of the PTU and the interconnecting hoses. Always make sure the power cord is
removed while cleaning the PTU or replacing the filter. Wipe away any residue with a
damp cloth and let the components dry thoroughly before use.
Cleaning the Comfort Vest
The inCourage Comfort Vest may be machine-washed in any commercial
or household washing machine by following these steps:
1. Insert the two red plugs (supplied) into both vest ports.
Note: Make sure the rim of the plug fits tightly into the port.
2. Machine wash vest on gentle or normal cycle with a mild detergent in warm water.
3. Remove both plugs from the vest ports and tumble-dry vest on low heat setting
until dry.
4. To ensure all moisture is removed from the vest, attach one hose onto the top
port of the Pulsating Therapy Unit (PTU). Attach the other end of the hose onto
one vest port.
NOTE: Make sure hose is attached to the top port of the unit and leave the
other vest port open.
5. Unbuckle all straps of the vest and lay on flat surface. Run the Pulsating Therapy
Unit (PTU) for 20 minutes at a frequency of 5 Hertz and at 100% pressure.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - Keep small red plugs away from
children under 3 years!
WARNING: Do not immerse the Pulsating Therapy Unit (PTU) in
water. This could result in electrocution!
