How to use Ossur Cold Rush Universal Cold Therapy Pad?

1. Remove the Cold Rush Pad from the packaging.
2. Inspect the pad to make certain that it is free of defects.
3. Apply an insulation barrier over the patient’s skin in the area to be treated.
4. Apply Cold Rush Pad over the insulation barrier, with the fabric facing up. Pad should never be applied directly to the patient’s skin.
5. Apply elastic straps over the Cold Rush Pad. Be sure not to wrap the pad too tightly as it may restrict blood flow or water circulation.
6. Connect the Cold Rush Pad to the hose extending from the unit. To ensure proper connection, push couplings together until they snap into place.
7. Follow the operating instructions provided with your Cold Rush Therapy System.
8. When you are finished with your cold therapy treatment, turn the Cold Rush Cold Therapy System unit pump off and disconnect the pad from the hose couplings.
9. When you have finished all of your cold therapy treatments, discard the Cold Rush Pad. You may want to save the pad to use in cleaning your Cold Rush Cold Therapy System.

Precautions

• Indications requiring the application of cold therapy to a joint or limbs such as post-surgical, trauma pain, and swelling.
• Always use an insulation barrier between the patient's skin and the Cold Rush® pad.
• Follow the doctor's directions for how long to apply your treatment time.

Warnings:

• The Cold Rush pad may become cold enough to cause serious injury to the skin. The 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 a steady flow of water through the pad is achieved.
• The temperature at the surface of the skin may vary depending on the amount of dressing used and other factors beyond the control of the manufacturer. The temperature and color of the skin at the treatment site must be monitored by a licensed healthcare 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 healthcare practitioner must provide each patient with guidance for the use of the device. As well, the healthcare practitioner must monitor the patient’s use of the device to ensure 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need To Keep My Unit Elevated?

Yes, even though most units are motorized, it is best to keep them at level with the area you are treating to ensure you do not overwork the motor. This will not only improve your treatment but also help extend the life of your cold therapy machine.

How long can I use the cold therapy after the surgery?

Only use cold therapy products as prescribed by a healthcare provider. The healthcare provider will provide instructions on frequency, compression level, temperature level, duration of use, duration of breaks between uses, how and when to inspect the skin of the treatment area, and the total length of treatment.
