Operation:
1. Operator Considerations
Operators should have a working knowledge of clinical hydrotherapy and cryotherapy procedures. They should also
have a complete understanding of the procedures described in this manual, the ability to operate the CRYOTherm,
and assist patients.
2. Fill Tanks
If prescribed, add an antibacterial agent to the water at this time. Follow the antibacterial agent manufacturer’s
directions for use.
With Fill, Pump, and Cool switches “Off” on both tanks and drain valves “Closed” press Power Switch to “On”. Now
press Fill switches to “On” and allow water level to rise. An automatic level switch located behind the overflow grille
will control the water level just below the overflow pipe height. These level controls have a ten-second delay with the
under-level condition to avoid valve chatter.
3. Switch Pump “On” and Adjust Hydrotherapy Jets
When tanks are full, turn Air Control Valve to “Min” and press Pump switch to “On”. Pumps will begin circulating the
water. Pump must be left on at all times for proper operation of the temperature control. Without circulation ice will
form on the tank walls.
Tank has six adjustable hydrotherapy jets. When the 1-horsepower, dual-speed pump is switched “On” it circulates
water through these jets in the low-speed mode. Press the black “Hi” button over the Pump switch for high-speed
hydrotherapy. After 20-minutes the pumps will resume low-speed operation automatically. Turn Air Control valve to
“Max” for more vigorous aerated hydrotherapy.
4. Select Temperature
The temperature is adjustable from 40°F to 60°F. To set the temperature press the black Press-To-Set button and
the digital display will switch from reading the water temperature to indicating the set point temperature. Using the
small screwdriver supplied, adjust the set point to the desired temperature. When the button is released, the digital
display will immediately return to reading the actual water temperature. Press the Cool switch to “On” and the
CRYOTherm will seek the set point temperature and control at that point.
5. Patient Loading
CRYOTherm is ergonomically designed to accommodate all size patients and support them either standing in the
tanks or sitting anywhere on the Corian surfaces.
