- For IceMan® CLEAR3 or IceMan® CLASSIC3
DO NOT use this device without a prescription from a physician. Rx only. Your prescription must state how long and how often the device should be used and the length of breaks between uses. DO NOT use this device if a prescription has not been provided to you or if you do not understand the prescription. Use of this device without a prescription or failure to follow the prescription may result in serious injury, including tissue necrosis. - This device can be cold enough to cause serious injury, including tissue necrosis. You must be able to check your skin condition under the cold pad frequently (at least every hour). DO NOT use this device if you cannot check your skin condition frequently (at least every hour). Check for increased pain, burning, numbness, tingling, increased redness, discoloration, itching, increased swelling, blisters, irritation or other changes in skin condition under the cold pad or around the treatment area. If you experience any of these conditions, immediately discontinue use of this device and contact your physician.
- This device is intended only for single patient use. Secondary use can cause serious injury, including infection.
- Application of the cold pads directly on the skin may result in serious injury, including tissue necrosis. DO NOT let any part of the cold pad touch your skin. ALWAYS use with a barrier between your skin and the cold pad.
- The barrier between your skin and the cold pad may develop moisture during use, which may create colder temperatures on the skin. Temperatures that are too cold may result in serious injury, including tissue necrosis. ALWAYS check for moisture on the barrier between your skin and the cold pad. If moisture is present on the barrier, immediately discontinue use of this device.
- Poor connections between hoses may cause leaking, which may result in serious injury, including infection and tissue necrosis. ALWAYS listen for a "snap" or "click" when connecting the IceMan® cold therapy unit hose to the cold pad hose. Use only IceMan® cold pads.
- Use of the IceMan® with wet hands or in a wet location may result in electrical shock and serious injury. DO NOT handle transformer or power cord with wet hands or in a wet location. The power supply unit is the mains power disconnect. Do not position the equipment to make access to the disconnect difficult. Only connect equipment to the power supply provided for this product.
- DO NOT use the IceMan® near flammable anesthetics or oxygen enriched environment, which may result in explosion and serious injury.
- Keep power cord, hose, small parts, and packaging materials away from children and animals. These items pose a risk for suffocation or strangulation.
- It could be unsafe to use accessories, detachable parts and materials, or interconnect to other equipment not described in these instructions, or otherwise modify the equipment.
- Care must be taken when operating this device adjacent to other equipment. Potential electromagnetic or other interference could occur to this or other equipment. Try to minimize this interference by not using other electronic equipment in conjunction with this device.
- To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not disassemble the IceMan®. If device is not functioning properly, please contact DonJoy product support.

COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Iceman has been tested and found to comply with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) limits for medical devices to IEC 60601-1-2. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical medical installation.
![]()
Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and must be installed and operated according to these instructions. It is possible that high levels of radiated or conducted radio-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI) from portable and mobile RF communications equipment or other strong or nearby radio-frequency sources, could result in performance disruption of the system. Evidence of disruption may include equipment ceasing to operate, or other incorrect functioning. If this occurs, survey the site of disruption, and take the following actions to eliminate the source(s).
- Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate disruptive equipment.
- Relocate or reorient interfering equipment.
- Increase distance between interfering equipment and your system.
- Manage use of frequencies close to the system frequencies.
- Remove devices that are highly susceptible to EMI.
- Lower power from internal sources within the facility control (such as paging systems).
- Label devices susceptible to EMI.
- Educate clinical staff to recognize potential EMI-related problems.
- Eliminate or reduce EMI with technical solutions (such as shielding).
- Restrict use of personal communicators (cell phones, computers) in areas with devices susceptible to EMI.
- Share relevant EMI information with others, particularly when evaluating new equipment purchases which may generate EMI.
- Purchase medical devices that comply with IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Standards (3V/meter EMI immunity, limit interference level to 0.0014 V/meter).
