Frequently Asked Questions - WL-2301 IBP

How to use the KOOL Patch?

Stick the patch on a stimulation area (neck, trapezius, back, stomach) after removing the protective film. Turn it on with the ON+ button and set the desired intensity (10 levels). The device switches off automatically after 15 minutes; you can turn it back on for a maximum session of 30 minutes per zone.

What are the stimulation points?

The recommended areas are the transition between the neck and trapezius (zone 1, left and right), the middle of the back (zone 2, left and right), and the stomach between the sternum and navel (zone 3).

How long to use the patch each day?

For optimal relief, use the patch for 30 minutes per stimulation zone, ideally for 10 consecutive days. The total daily duration should not exceed 150 minutes.

What to do if the patch does not turn on?

Check that the battery is inserted correctly (+ symbol facing up). If the problem persists, replace the battery or contact after-sales service.

Can I use the patch if I am pregnant?

No, using the patch is not recommended during pregnancy as electrical stimulation can trigger contractions.

How to clean the patch?

Turn off the patch, then clean the housing with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners and do not immerse the device.

How to change the battery?

Open the compartment by pressing the cap and pushing it backwards. Replace the used battery with a CR2032 battery, observing polarity (+ facing up). Close the compartment.

Where can I buy replacement dressings?

Replacement electrode dressings are available from your IBP dealer or via after-sales service. They should be changed when dirty or no longer sticky.

Is the patch waterproof?

No, the patch is not waterproof. Do not expose it to water, moisture, or steam. Do not wear it for swimming or in a sauna.

What if the stimulation is too weak or too strong?

Adjust the intensity using the ON+ (increase) and OFF- (decrease) buttons. If stimulation is too weak, the battery may be low; replace it. If too strong, reduce the intensity immediately.

1. How do these instructions for use support you?

Warning! This symbol warns you of possible health risks.
Caution! This symbol alerts you of possible damage to your device.
Note This symbol indicates particularly useful information regarding the use of the device.

Important components of your device have been marked with item numbers.

Using these item numbers you can safely identify displays and controls, the importance and use of which will be explained in these instructions.

Therefore you will find the item numbers placed in brackets in all corresponding paragraphs of these instructions for use.

2. How your KOOL Patch works

Stress leads to tightness and muscle tension. Especially severely affected are the following areas of the body:

The transition area from the neck to the trapezius muscle containing a variety of muscles and nerves.
- The trapezius muscles extend from the back of the head to the shoulder blade and from the shoulder joint to the outer part of the collarbone. Additionally the trapezius muscles are connected to the spinous processes of some cervical vertebrae and the thoracic vertebrae.
The area at the center of the back, containing likewise a variety of muscles and nerves.
The abdominal region between the breastbone and navel.

Transcutaneous (conducted via the skin) electrical nerve stimulation is a method that allows the results of stress to be alleviated.

A microprocessor-controlled relaxation program conducts current-induced stimuli of different intensity levels via electrodes that are affixed onto the skin to the nervous system. These stimuli are not painful. You will only feel a slight tingling sensation on the skin.

With daily applications of just 30 minutes for each stimulation area, you will experience pleasant relief after only 10 days.

• Your KOOL Patch stimulates nerves in the affected regions of the body and this way easily and effectively reduces the sensation of pain caused by stress-related tension and tightness.

You will be able to move freely and wear the KOOL Patch underneath your clothing.
Once the effects of stress have been alleviated, you will feel fit and relaxed, and you will sleep better.

3. Your safety is important to us

Please read these instructions for use carefully before using your KOOL Patch for the first time. They contain everything you need to know to operate your KOOL Patch safely and to avoid damage.

Patch suited, and for which is it not?

Use the KOOL Patch exclusively in a private setting.
The KOOL Patch is not intended for commercial or medical use.
The KOOL Patch is intended exclusively in humans for external application on the stimulation points described in these instructions of use.
The KOOL Patch is not intended for application on children - not even under the permanent supervision of adults.

3.2 For which applications is your KOOL

Patch suited, and for which is it not?

The KOOL Patch is designed exclusively for alleviating pain caused by stress-induced tension.
Tension and pain can also be symptomatic of a serious illness, which excludes self-treatment with the KOOL Patch.

Prior to its use, we recommend that you consult your physician, pharmacist or physiotherapist.

3.3 When may you not use your KOOL

Patch?

• if you suffer from cardiac problems, especially from cardiac dysrhythmias. The stimulation current can lead to ventricular fibrillation and in the worst case to cardiac arrest.
  if you have a pacemaker or other electronic implants. The stimulation current can interfere with the function of your implant.
  if you suffer from seizures. In severe cases the stimulation current can trigger convulsions.
  when pregnant. In severe cases the stimulation current can trigger contractions.

if you suffer from allergic skin reactions. The electrodes and patch can lead to skin irritations.
- if you suffer from systemic illnesses, i.e. those affecting the entire body.
if the KOOL Patch is damaged. The stimulation current can lead to aches and skin irritations.

3.4 Other factors you need to consider

Do not allow children access to your KOOL Patch.

Children could swallow small pieces and as a consequence suffocate.

1 Do not exceed the listed application duration and frequency. It will not increase its effectiveness.

Try to perform the application over the course of 10 days if possible.

In order to alleviate the effects of stress, try to stimulate each stimulation point daily if possible for 30 minutes.

This equates to a maximum daily application duration of 5 × 30 minutes = 150 minutes.

Try to maintain the achieved relaxation effect after the 10-day treatment period by stimulating each stimulation point for 30 minutes 1-2 times a month.

6.3 How to use your KOOL Patch

During your applications, maintain a minimum distance of 1m to microwave devices and short-wave devices. Electromagnetic interaction may impair the function of the KOOL Patch.
