How to use Polar Ice Machine?
Instructions for the use of Universal Therapy Bladder
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Be sure the hoses are not restricted or bent, as this will restrict water flow through the entire system
