TABLE 1 – MODE DESCRIPTION
The Squid Go combines cold therapy with intermient compression.
The Squid Go Pump provides intermient air pressure to an air bladder
in the Wrap. Wraps come in a variety of sizes to best fit the treatment area.
Pump pressure, inflate cycle time and deflate cycle time are automated
to control the amount of compression and the treatment time. For patient
comfort, there are 4 modes (Table 1), which have different peak pressures
and time on and time off cycles. The total duration of treatment is
15 minutes.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:
• Cold urticaria (hives aer being exposed to cold)
• Cold hypersensitivity or bradycardia; (slowing of the heart rate and/or
skin swelling surrounded by redness; may be itchy aer being exposed
to the cold).
• Vasospastic disease (tissue swelling or embolus which can lead to death
of the skin aer being exposed to the cold).
• Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (anemia or presence of hemoglobin
in the urine aer being exposed to the cold).
• Raynaud’s syndrome (numb or prickly feeling and/or skin turns blue aer
being exposed to the cold).
• Cryoglobulinemia (higher than normal levels of blood cryoglobulins which
are proteins).
• Thrombosis (blood clots in the brain, heart or other blood vessels) or
suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
• Aneurysm (enlargement of a blood vessel artery caused by a weak
artery wall).
• Vascular disease which includes narrowing of blood vessels or thickening
of blood vessel walls causing loss of blood flow.
• Diabetes (blood glucose disease)
• High blood pressure
• Compromised local circulation (blood circulation that is not normal).
• Heart disease
• Cancer (active disease)
• Do not use the device during or 3 months aer pregnancy.
• To prevent skin irritation or rash, do not use the device if you have sensitive,
inflamed, or damaged skin or if you have a broken or open wound.
• Do not use the device over or near the site of a broken bone or a
healing fracture.
• Not for use if you are under 18 years of age.
WARNING
DO NOT USE ON EXPOSED SKIN. ONLY USE THE DEVICE OVER A LAYER
OF CLOTHING OR SUPPLIED CLOTH TO PREVENT FROSTNIP. PATIENTS
WHO ARE TAKING ANTICOAGULANT MEDICATION FOR VALVULAR HEART
DISEASE OR SOME OTHER CONDITION MAY BE AT RISK OF DEVELOPING
A HEMATOMA (CLOTTED BLOOD IN THE TISSUE FROM A BROKEN
BLOOD VESSEL).

2022 Squid Go booklet.5.qxp_Layout 1 3/28/22 4:04 PM Page 6

KNOWN AND FORESEEABLE RISKS
There is a risk of:
• Excessive cooling and frostnip if the Gel Pack is used directly on the skin,
if the clothing barrier is wet, or if the wrap is exposed to a large amount
of water.
• Irritation if the Gel Pack leaks.
• Irritation, pain, irregular blood flow if the wrap is exposed to excessive
external pressure.
• Strangulation or asphyxiation if the user’s neck is entangled by system
tubes and/or cords.
• Hematoma if the user is on anticoagulant medication.
5
CAUTIONS
6
• Allow at least one hour before repeating the treatment.
• Do not use Cold Gel Pack over wet clothing.
• Use only a dry Wrap. Do not use the Wrap if it is wet.
• Do not leave on the treated part when control unit is off or aer
treatment is over.
• Do not use Gel Packs if air temperature is below 50ºF.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not remove any panels from the
Squid Go Pump.
• Do not aach Wrap too tightly prior to active compression.
• To avoid the risk of electrical shock, always turn off the Squid Go and
disconnect the power line cord from its electrical outlet when not in use.
• To avoid damage to your product, do not operate the Squid Go without a
Wrap connected to the Squid Go Pump.
• Do not tamper with the plug to allow easy disconnection of the
AC Adapter plug from the mains.
• Only use the Cold Gel Pack provided with the Squid Go.
• Keep Gel Pack content away from mouth and eyes. In case of ingestion,
seek medical care. In case of contact with eyes, wash with water and
seek medical care.
• The Squid Go Pump is not waterproof. Do not apply a direct stream of
any liquid onto the Squid Go Pump; do not submerge it; and do not allow
any liquid to pool on the surface of the front panel.
• Aempting to self-service any part of the Squid Go will avoid the warranty
and may cause injury.
• Avoid contact of Wrap and Gel Pack with sharp objects.
• Use this device only at its intended body part and according to instructions.
• To avoid risk of strangulation from the output AC Power Cord and
the Connector Tube, always keep the device away from children.
• Do not make modifications to the device.
• Exposure to lint, dust, direct sunlight, and moisture will accelerate
the aging of the device.
• Disconnect the AC Power Line Cord once the Pump is fully charged
to reduce the chance of decreasing baery life.
• Removing the Connector Tube from the Pump without using the
metal tab will cause damage to the Pump.

SAFETY INFORMATION
This device has been manufactured and tested in accordance to
UL/IEC 60601-1 and 60601-1-2.
There are no serviceable parts in the Squid Go.
To avoid electrical shock, product malfunction or damage, never operate
the Squid Go with damaged AC Power Cord or Connector Tube or other
mechanical damage, or if the unit is otherwise not fully operational.
Never operate the Squid Go with any AC Adapter other than that provided
by Portable Therapeutix. Use of other adapters may result in electrical shock
and will void the Squid Go warranty.
BATTERY INFORMATION AND CHARGING
Squid Go can be used for up to 20 treatments on a single charge.
Baery charging cycle life: 70% of initial minimum capacity aer 300 cycles
at 68ºF (20ºC).
Actual number may vary based on treatment conditions and the Wrap model
being used.
The Squid Go may be used with the AC Adapter plugged into a wall outlet,
or it may be used with baery power. The Squid Go may be operated
while charging.
Please note that the rechargeable baery inside the Portable Therapeutix
Squid Go is not removable. Aempting to self-service will void the warranty
and may cause injury.

CHARGING THE SQUID PUMP UNIT:
1. Charge the Squid Go Pump by plugging the charger to the wall and the
Squid Go Pump. Full charge will require 18 hours.
2. When the baery charge indicator shows empty baery aer the unit
is turned on, the unit will have sufficient power for up to 3 treatments.
Flashing empty baery symbol indicates drained baery and the unit
will not start. The unit can then be used while plugged into a wall outlet.
If baery is completely drained (baery icon flashing), the unit may
require 5-10 minutes of charging before it may be used while plugged
into a wall outlet.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The Pump pressure did not reach the minimum
pressure. Can occur if the cuff is not connected to
to the Pump or the Wrap/Tube has an air leak
preventing the Pump from reaching minimum
pressure within 3 minutes.
Verify that Connector Tube to the Squid Go Pump
and Wrap are securely connected and that there is
no leak from the system. If no visible reason for a
leak is apparent and error signal persists, contact
Customer Service.
ALARM SYMBOL E1
WHAT DOES
IT MEAN?
WHAT CAN
I DO?
The Pump pressure exceeded the maximum
pressure of the mode. This can occur if the user
applies external pressure to the Wrap. Any other
over-pressure would also indicate a malfunction.
Remove external pressure from the Wrap or
remove Wrap. Do not use for one hour. If problem
persists, contact Customer Service.
The Pump motor is not working
and no compression.

levels (V1 and E1).
Interference may occur in
the vicinity of equipment
containing a transmier.

RECOMMENDED SEPARATIONS DISTANCES
FROM THE SQUID GO
The Squid Go is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment
in which radiated disturbances are controlled. The customer or user
of the Squid Go can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF Communications Equipment and the Squid Go as recommended
below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
