Aircast Elbow Cryo/Cuff and Automatic Cold Therapy IC Cooler Saver Pack
Discomfort in the elbow, whether it stems from an injury or not, can cause serious pain down the line which can develop into conditions like arthritis and RSI. The Aircast Elbow Cryo/Cuff and Automatic Cold Therapy IC Cooler Saver Pack combines the therapeutic benefits of targeted compression with cold therapy to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Unlike other cryotherapy compression systems, this IC cooler uses both gravity and motorised therapy for increased flexibility during treatment. The device features an integrated pump with the cooler lid that provides a 45 second 'on' and a 30 second 'off' cycle of automated compression and cold therapy.

How Do I Use the Cryo/Cuff?
For information on how to prepare, apply and use the Cryo/Cuff, please follow these four simple steps:
Step One: Prepare the Cooler
Before using the cuff, you must prepare the cooler by filling water to the line and topping with ice. Connect the blue tube to the cooler and place the insulation disk on top of the ice before closing the lid. Wait for approximately five minutes for the water to chill, shaking the cooler occasionally.
Step Two: Apply the Cuff
Position the cuff with the quick disconnect valve facing down and secure using the straps provided. (See figure 1).
Insert arm and slide the cuff over the elbow into place. (See figure 2).
Step Three: Fill the Cuff
Connect the blue tube to the cuff. Raise the cooler no more than fifteen inches above the cuff and allow fifteen seconds for the cuff to fill. (See figure 3).
Place the cooler on a stable surface, the base of the cooler should be level with the cuff. Plug the cooler into a power supply and turn on by connecting the cord to the lid.
Step Four: Refill Cooler
To refill after use, unplug the cooler and repeat step one.

Should I Cover My Skin While Using the Cryo/Cuff?
