DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. COLD THERAPY:
Store the pack in the freezer for a minimum of two (2) hours. It may be left in the freezer indefinitely until ready to use. It will remain flexible and does not get hard even at -20¡F(-30¡C). Note: Always store the product in a plastic bag while in the freezer.
2. HEAT THERAPY:
The most convenient method of heating the pack is in a microwave oven. Suggested heating times: 600-700 watt microwave: 45-60 Seconds per side, 1100 watt: 45 Seconds per side. Note: all microwaves vary in heating and may have Òhot spotsÓ. Be cautious when heating.
Wait one minute (60 seconds) before use. The pack should feel WARM to the touch, NOT HOT. Hold the pack firmly against the skin for 30 seconds before re-heating*. If the pack is not warm enough, heat in 20-second increments and rotate the product each time.
The packs can also be heated in a conventional oven at 250¡F for 10-15 minutes. Place pack on a cookie sheet or baking dish. The outside cover can be removed and the pack can also be heated in a water bath for 10-15 minutes.
3. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the outside cover and hand wash in cold water and mild soap. Hang up to dry. Wipe the inside plastic bladder with a damp cloth using mild soap or disinfectant.
*CAUTION: DO NOT OVERHEAT!! Overheating the product can cause the plastic cover to melt. Due to the nature of the gel, it may only feel warm to the touch, but if the pack has been overheated, too much heat may be transferred to the body and can cause burns.
If punctured, the pack will not leak but use with wet towels should be discontinued.
