CONTRAINDICATIONS, CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS BEFORE USING THIS

PRODUCT!

WARNINGS

1. Follow the recommendations of your health care practitioner regarding the

frequency and duration of use.

2. Improper placement or prolonged use of the Game Ready System or Med4 Elite

System could result in tissue damage. During the course of therapy, patients should

monitor the skin surrounding the treated region or the digits of the extremities of the

treated limb for any burning, itching, increased swelling, or pain. If any of these signs

present, or any changes in skin appearance occur (such as blisters, increased redness,

discoloration, or other noticeable skin changes), patients are advised to discontinue

use and consult a physician.

3. Game Ready Wraps are not sterile; do not place directly against open wounds,

sores, rashes, infections, or stitches. The Wrap may be applied over clothing or

dressing. A layer between Wrap and skin is recommended for all patients.

4. Game Ready Wraps are available in multiple configurations but are not intended for

all possible physiologic uses. For example, the Ankle Wrap is not designed for use on

the toes and the Back Wrap is not designed for use in the abdominal region.

5. To avoid potential damage to the Control Unit, do not use other manufacturers'

Wraps with the Control Unit.

6. Use extra caution during the immediate postoperative period, especially when

sedated or on any medication that could alter normal pain sensation. Check the skin

of the treated region frequently and use mid-to-higher (warmer) temperature range

settings or leave more time between treatments, if necessary.

7 .

Monitor the level of heat throughout treatment session. Caution should be used

with the Med4 Elite System or any thermotherapy (Heat Therapy) device generating

high intensity heat at 113°F or above. Check the skin of the treated region frequently

and use mid-to-lower (cooler) temperature range settings or leave more time between

treatments, if necessary.

8. The Med4 Elite System is not intended for use with numbing agents.

9. When using heat and rapid contrast therapy, skin should be protected in heat-

sensitive or high-risk patients, especially over regions with sensory deficits.

10. Heating of the gonads should be avoided.

11. Do not cover the toes with the Full Leg Boot.
