Why choose Polar Active Ice 3.0 Universal Cold Therapy System?

  • Specifically designed to deliver drug-free pain relief after injury or post-surgery, when serious pain relief is required
  • Whisper-quiet, high-efficiency pump circulates cold water throughout the therapy pad
  • Customize your cold therapy on and off cycles with the programmable timer and temperature flow control
  • Active Ice's superior cooling reservoirs outperform competitors by holding more ice or frozen water bottles. With twice the size, they offer double the capacity, ensuring longer-lasting cold therapy, allowing you to get through the night without the hassle of frequent ice additions or bottle swaps

The 9-quart reservoir holds six 500ml bottles, and the 16-quart reservoir holds twelve. Great for caregivers!
  • The programmable timer's easy on/off button enhances safety by eliminating the need to fumble in the dark to plug or unplug your system
  • The cooler lid on the system is hinged and snaps in place, keeping it properly sealed
  • The therapy pad offers comfortable cold therapy with gentle compression, optimizing the cooling effect on the target body part through its insulated outer fabric
  • Comfortable and easy to reuse time and time again; simply add ice and water to the cooler

How to use Active Ice Cold Therapy System?

Setting up the system

  1. Do not turn on the system until all connections are complete and the insulated tubing from the cooling reservoir to the therapy pad is free from bends or restrictions, as this will restrict water flow through the system
  2. Connect the therapy pad tubes to the Active Ice System tubes with the quick disconnect couplings.
  3. Be sure the tabs on the female couplings are pushed all the way down, then insert the male couplings into the female couplings. Couplings “click” when they are properly locked together
  4. Open the reservoir and fill it with clean, cold water to the water fill line in the cooling reservoir. Be sure water covers the pump in the reservoir
  5. Completely fill the reservoir with ice to the water return flow tube located near the top of the reservoir
  6. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet. Then, plug the Programmable Timer and Temperature Flow Control (#DFT) into the power supply. Finally, plug the programmable timer into the electrical jack on the plate side of the cooling reservoir
  7. Adjust the temperature control to Coldest and turn the timer knob clockwise to turn the unit on. Allow the unit to run a few minutes for the temperature to stabilize before using the system. Always ensure that there is water flowing through the top return tube to the cooling reservoir
  8. Use the enclosed elastic belt with hook and loop tabs to hold the universal bladder comfortably on the targeted body part. Always use an insulation barrier such as webril, Kerlix, cast padding, or elastic bandage between the therapy bladder and the skin
  9. Adjust the temperature control to the desired level. When the temperature has risen above the desired temperature, refill the reservoir with ice. Drain water if necessary
  10. Confirm that water is flowing through the return flow tube at the top of the cooler when the system is on

Instructions for the use of Universal Therapy Bladder

  1. Do not turn the polar ice therapy machine on until all connections are complete and the hose from the cooler to the wrap is free from bends or restrictions
  2. Place the bladder over the targeted area with the smooth side toward the skin. Always use this bladder with a protective layer of fabric between the bladder and the skin
  3. Use the elastic belt, tab, or compression wrap to hold the bladder in place comfortably. Place the bladder on the target body part and hold it in place with the elastic strap
  4. Connect the bladder tubes to the Polar Ice Therapy Machine tubes with the quick-connect couplings. Depress the tab on the female coupling first, then press the system coupling into the bladder coupling until you hear a click sound. This click is the sound of the couplings connecting and locking into place
  5. Be sure the hoses are not restricted or bent, as this will restrict water flow through the entire system
