Troubleshooting
Pack does not get cold
Ensure you are squeezing the pack firmly enough to break the inner pouch. Try squeezing both sides of the pack simultaneously.
Cold effect dissipates too quickly
The duration of cold can be affected by ambient temperature. For longer-lasting cold, use in a cooler environment or ensure the pack is well-insulated once activated. Note that the maximum duration is approximately 40 minutes.
Inner pouch is difficult to break
Apply firm, consistent pressure. If the pack remains unresponsive, it may be defective, and a new one should be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These packs are designed for single-use external application. They are compatible with direct skin contact. Not intended for use with or on electrical equipment.
Care: As these are single-use disposable products, no specific care or maintenance is required after activation and use. Once the cooling effect has dissipated, the pack should be disposed of responsibly according to local waste guidelines.
