Game Ready™ was built upon the concept that the principles behind spacesuit
technology could be used to develop an injury treatment system. As a designer for
NASA and an inductee into the U.S. Space Foundation’s Hall of Fame, our founder
helped pioneer the technology involved in controlling pressure and temperature within
a flexible garment. In 1998, we began working with athletes, athletic trainers, doctors,
and engineers to expand breakthrough discoveries into the realm of sports medicine.
I N D I C A T I O N S F O R U S E
The Game Ready System combines cold and compression therapies. It is intended to

A brand new Wrap or Cooling Vest should first be filled with water (“primed”) before it
is used. To prime a new Wrap or Vest, follow the Quick Set Up Instructions and then the
following:
1. Connect Wrap or Vest to Control Unit (Wrap or Vest need not be worn to prime).
2. Press the pressure button on the control panel to set the pressure on “no pressure”.
3. Turn the temperature control knob to maximum cold (3 snowflakes).
4. Press the start button.
5. Run for a minimum of two minutes.
Note: Often when priming a larger Wrap or vest, the Control Unit alarm will sound after
45 seconds, the low flow icon will flash and the Control Unit will stop. This is because
there isn’t enough water returning to the Control Unit, due to the new Wrap being filled.
To continue, simply restart the priming process following the steps above. After 2
minutes the Wrap or Vest is fully primed and ready to be used. Repeat the steps above
for each additional new Wrap or Vest.

Filling the Ice Box
Stand unit upright. Then unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. To open the ice box
lid, pull up on the latch on the end panel of the Control Unit. Fill the ice box with as much
ice as possible. For maximum cooling duration, use cubed ice. Pour water over the ice to
one-half inch below the rim. Dry off the rubber gasket to ensure a good seal. Close the
lid securely and lock it into place by pulling down on the latch.
Note: The system provides cooling to the Wrap on less ice but we recommend you fill
the ice box completely.
Caution: Do not pour hot water into the ice box.
Refilling the ice box: Once the unit has been operating for more than an hour, check
the ice box. If little or no ice remains, then refill the ice box to assure maximum cooling.
If the unit is turned on its side, place it back in its upright position before opening the ice
box lid by pulling up on the latch. Press the power button to turn off the unit. Unplug the
unit from the AC adapter and empty excess water from ice box. Fill the ice box with as
much ice as possible. Pour water over the ice to one-half inch below the rim. Close the
lid securely and resume therapy.
Note: Ice can be added to the Control Unit while it is running (as long as it is
standing upright).
Connecting the Wrap to the Control Unit
The connector snaps easily into place on the
end panel of the Control Unit. When inserted
correctly, the disconnect button will be on top.
To disconnect, simply press the button and
remove the connector from its port. When

Connector Hose halves are lined up straight when they are pushed together.

I M P O R T A N T U S E R G U I D E L I N E S
The Game Ready System provides intermittent compression and adjustable cold therapy
by controlling fluid flow and air pressure. The Control Unit software is designed to protect
both the user and the Control Unit from harm by shutting off the System and sounding
an alarm if there is insufficient fluid flow or an over-pressure or under-pressure situation.
To help prevent fluid flow or air pressure issues with the Control Unit please follow these
guidelines:
Fluid Flow: Like any other fluid system, a reduction in fluid flow can happen because of a
blockage somewhere in the fluid path (like kinking your garden hose). There are five ways
to manage the fluid flow to prevent a blockage in the fluid path:
1. Temperature Setting: Always start your Game Ready System on the coldest
temperature setting (3 snowflakes) and run it that way for a minimum of 2 minutes
before adjusting the temperature as necessary.
2. Wrap Application: When applying the Wraps, avoid major folds or creases in the
Wrap. The Wraps are designed to bend around the body, but if a Wrap has a big crease
or fold, then the fluid flow can be sufficiently reduced to cause a system shutdown.
The Shoulder Wrap in particular needs to be applied correctly so that there is not a large
crease at the tip of the shoulder.
3. Switching a Wrap: If you take a Wrap off one user and immediately apply it to
another user, be sure that the air bladder of the Wrap is completely deflated before
starting treatment on the new user. To deflate the Wrap, simply unplug the Wrap
from the Control Unit and squeeze the excess air out.
4. Connector Hose: To assure proper connection, make sure the connector hose is
securely pushed into the Wrap. Do not let the Connector Hose fold over or coil unto itself
when in operation, this could cause a fluid flow error. Avoid kinking the hose at any point
along its length.
5. Ice Box: If you’re using shaved or finely crushed ice, avoid packing it too tightly, as it
can partially clog the filter and reduce fluid flow enough to cause a system shutdown.
Air Pressure: When operating on low, medium or high pressure, the Game Ready
Control Unit is designed to alert the user if it does not achieve its minimum or maximum
pressure requirements. It’s possible for the user to make the Control Unit “think” it’s
over-pressuring or under-pressuring by exerting pressure on the outside of the Wrap
while the system is running. This will cause the Unit to shut down, sound the alarm and
display a PH, OP, UP error on the display (See page 18 for details). To help prevent this
from happening, do the following:
Avoid exerting sporadic pressure on the exterior of the Wrap. It is fine to lie on the Wrap
or lean against a chair with a Wrap on, as long as you maintain that position. If you move
around with a Wrap on, while the Control Unit is attempting to reach pressure, there is a
good chance the Control Unit will shut down and sound the alarm. If you want to move
around while wearing the Wrap, run the System without pressure.

30/30/No Pressure 30/30/Low Pressure 30/30/Med Pressure
If you press the timer button once, you will be in Pre-Set Program 2, and if you press
the timer button twice, you will be in Pre-Set Program 3. Please Note: If you press the
timer button three times, you will be in Manual Mode. The Control Unit will be set for a
15 minute treatment at low compression. You can select the pressure and time
settings to adjust your treatment. Press the timer button once more to toggle through
the elapsed time setting. One more press of the timer button will bring you back to

ADJUSTING PRESSURE
Press the pressure button on the control panel to adjust the level of compression.
The system has four pressure options: 1. No pressure: circulates the ice water only,
2. Low pressure: inflates and deflates the Wrap from 5-15 mm Hg over approximately a
5 minute cycle, 3. Medium pressure: inflates and deflates the Wrap from 5-50 mm Hg
over approximately a 3 minute cycle, or 4. High pressure: inflates and deflates the Wrap
from 5-75 mm Hg over approximately a 3 minute cycle.
The appropriate pressure icon will flash as the unit cycles pressure. The left-hand side
of the icon will appear and flash as the pressure cycles up, and then the right-hand side
will appear and flash as the pressure cycles down. Large Wraps, such as the Knee Wrap,
will have longer pressure cycles than smaller Wraps, such as the Ankle. The system will
default to the low pressure mode for all Wraps. To adjust the pressure, press once for
medium pressure, twice for high pressure and three times for no pressure. If you press
pause for any reason, such as to switch Wraps, the pressure will remain in its previously
selected mode until you press the pressure setting button to adjust. Only by turning the
system off will it reset to the default pressure mode.
Note: If you have a Pre-Programmed Unit, the system will default to Pre-Set Program 1
(no compression). You can press the Timer button to select an alternate program or to
access Manual Mode, where you can adjust pressure and time settings.
Warning: The Cooling Vest should only be operated on no pressure or low pressure.
Do not operate the Cooling Vest on medium or high pressure.
Changing Pressure During Treatment
The pressure cannot be adjusted while the system is in use. To adjust the pressure,
press the pause button, change the pressure to the desired mode, and then press the
start button to resume therapy.
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE
Press the °C/°F button to choose your desired mode. By turning the temperature knob,
you can adjust the amount of ice water being pumped through the Wrap. Turn the knob
towards the three snowflakes for colder or towards the one snowflake for warmer. With
a full ice box, typically the Control Unit will provide cold therapy between 35 °F and 50 °F.
SETTING TREATMENT TIME
Each time the power button is used to turn the system on, the hourglass icon will appear
and the timer will automatically set for 15 minutes. If you press start, the system will
run for 15 minutes, then stop. Adjust the length of a timed session by pressing the plus
or minus keys to your desired time, from 0-95 minutes, in 5 minute increments. Once
you‘ve set the desired treatment time, press the start button. An hourglass icon will
appear on the control panel to indicate the timer is running. When the time is up, the
alarm will beep and the system will stop.
Changing Timer During Treatment
To add or subtract minutes while the timer is running, you must first press pause, then
press the plus or minus buttons. (If you press the timer setting button or the plus or
minus buttons while the system is in use, the system will not respond.)
Running The System Continuously
If you’d rather run the system continuously, just press the timer button once, the display
will change to zero, and the hourglass icon will disappear. Press start and the system will
run and begin counting elapsed time. The system will run for a maximum of 190 minutes,
by counting up to 95 minutes and then back down to zero. After 190 minutes, the system
will stop and remain in pause mode.

Cleaning
The Game Ready System is a valuable part of your therapy equipment. Please handle the
Control Unit as you would a laptop computer. When you are finished using the system for
the day, unplug the Control Unit from the electrical outlet. Disconnect both the Wrap and
AC adapter from the Control Unit. Empty the water and ice from the ice box. The interior
of the ice box should be cleaned once every three months. To clean the exterior of the
Control Unit, simply wipe with a soft cloth rinsed in warm water and a mild disinfectant
containing any of the following agents:
A. Mild detergent
B. Lysol
C. Rubbing alcohol (off the shelf)
To clean the internal fluid circuit of the Control Unit fill the ice box 3-4 inches deep with
hydrogen peroxide (2%), attach any Wrap and run the unit for 2 minutes.
Caution: Leave the lid open when using hydrogen peroxide.
Storage and Transportation
Storage Temperature Conditions: 1o- 50oC (33o- 122oF).
Relative Humidity: 10% - 95% non-condensing.
Store the Game Ready System in the carrying case or on a shelf, preferably with the lid
open to allow the interior to dry.
Caution: Do not keep in extreme hot or cold temperatures (above 120°F or below 33°F).
Avoid leaving in the trunk of a hot or freezing car.
Cleaning and Replacing the Filter
Your Game Ready unit is equipped with a special filter designed to keep dirt and debris
out of the fluid system. To assure consistent flow of water through the system, the filter
should be checked and cleaned every three months of regular use.
Caution: If the filter becomes clogged, the Control Unit alarm will beep, the ”low flow“
icon will flash, and the unit will go into pause mode. Check to be sure the filter
is not clogged.
In addition to cleaning the filter every three months, it should be replaced after one year
of regular usage. Call us toll-free at 1.888.GameReady for a free replacement filter.
To clean or replace the filter, follow these steps:
1. Turn off power and unplug the system from its electrical outlet.
2. With the Control Unit in the upright position, open
the ice box door.
3. Empty any water and ice in the ice box.
4. Locate the filter inside the ice box with your hand,
as shown in Fig. A.
5. Press the silver metal button on top of the filter, as shown
in Fig. B. You should hear a click as the filter is released.
6. Pull the filter straight out from its housing (Note: The
release button is part of the housing and therefore remains
attached to the inside of the unit).
7. Clean the filter by rinsing it thoroughly under warm running
water. Shake it a few times to clear out any remaining debris.
8. Re-insert the filter in the unit by reaching in and snapping
it back into the housing. You should hear it click into place.

Wrap Care
See Wrap Use Guide for instructions on how to clean the exterior of the Wraps.
The interior of the Wrap can be cleaned once a month by emptying 2-3 bottles of
16-24 oz. hydrogen peroxide (2%) into the ice box of the Control Unit and running the
system for five minutes. Fill the ice box approximately four inches deep with hydrogen
peroxide. Leave the ice box lid open. Adjust the pressure setting to the “no pressure”
mode. Adjust the temperature to its coldest setting (3 snowflakes). Set the timer for
five minutes and press the start button.
Caution: Leave the ice box lid open when using hydrogen peroxide to clean the interior
of the Wrap. If the ice box is sealed shut, hydrogen peroxide can form a gas that could
build excess pressure inside the unit and potentially damage the system.
Wrap Storage
Do not store Wraps in extreme cold temperatures (below 33F). To store, coil the
Connector Hose, and fold the Wrap neatly on its natural folds. Handle your
Wraps with care.
Caution: Do not store Wraps inside a plastic bag or other airtight container as it may
promote mold growth.
Bag Care and Storage
Wipe clean with mild soap and water, air dry.
Caution: Store the Game Ready System out of the reach of children and pets.

HOW TO PACK THE GAME READY SYSTEM

Under Pressure: The Control Unit
can’t reach its target maximum
compression. This often indicates
that there is a leak in the
pneumatic compression circuit,
either in the Connector Hose or
the Wrap itself. This is a Soft Error.
There is no danger to the person
being treated or the Control Unit,
and therapy will continue.
Once treatment has finished, try the
same pressure with a different Wrap,
if one is available. When you have
determined if the problem is isolated
to one Wrap or not, call Game Ready
customer service at 1.888.GameReady
(426.3732). You can continue to use your
system without harming the Control
Unit. You can even continue using the
affected Wrap, but this error will persist.
Low Flow Warning: The Control
Unit has detected a temporary
interruption of fluid flow, but it
was able to correct the situation
by reducing the compression
setting. This is a Soft Error. There
is no danger to the person being
treated or the Control Unit, and
therapy will continue.
This error can often be corrected by
reapplying the Wrap so that it is snug
against the body part being treated.
Please consult your Wrap Use Guide for
more detailed instruction. If the problem
persists, call customer service at
1.888.GameReady (426.3732).
Over Pressure Alarm: The Control
Unit has detected excessive
pressure in the air chamber.
In order to prevent any possible
harm to the person being treated,
the unit will stop therapy. This is
a Hard Error. The unit needs to be
turned off and restarted.
• Turn the Control Unit off and back on.
