INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Normatec Go is an air pressure massager intended to temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and/or pains and to temporarily increase circulation to the treated areas.

RISKS AND BENEFITS OF THE NORMATEC GO SYSTEM

The risks and benefits of using the Normatec Go System are similar to having a massage. If the  Normatec Go massage feels uncomfortable, you can reduce the intensity or stop the session. Benefits include the temporary relief of minor muscle aches and pains, and increased circulation in the area being treated. Please call customer service at +1.949.565.4994 if you have any questions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! BEFORE OPERATING THIS SYSTEM: Read all warnings at the beginning of this manual. If you do not understand these operating instructions, contact Hyperice at +1.949.565.4994.

CHARGING THE SYSTEM

• Step 1 : Plug the USB cable into the control unit
• Step 2: Plug the USB cable into the charger
• Step 3: Plug the USB charger into the wall outlet
• While the control unit is charging the battery status indicators will cycle from left to right. When all 5 battery status indicators are on ON, this means that the system is fully charged.

The control unit will NOT power on and cannot be operated while the USB cable is connected. Device is intended to be charged with the power adaptor provided. If you have any questions, please contact Hyperice at +1.949.565.4994 or your local Customer Care Center or representative.

SET UP THE SYSTEM

• Step 1: Secure the wrap tightly around your calf. Affix the two sides of the hook and loop material together for a snug but comfortable fit.
• Step 2: Press the power button on the Normatec Go control unit firmly for one second to turn on the system. While the control unit is on, the battery LEDs and display screen will light up.

USING HYPERSYNC™

Your Normatec Go devices arrive paired, which means they will inflate and deflate on the same cycle. To unpair devices, press and hold the Start / Stop button on either device until the device screen reads “Unpaired!” and the white pairing indicator light is no longer illuminated. To pair your devices, turn on both devices by pressing and holding the power (ON/OFF) button. Then press and hold Start / Stop button on either control unit until the display screen says “Pairing!” Finally, press and hold the Start / Stop button on the other device until both devices say “Pairing!” and the white pairing indicator light is illuminated.

CONNECT TO THE HYPERICE APP

Download the Hyperice App from the App Store or the Google Play Store. To connect your device to the Hyperice App via Bluetooth® make sure that your device is turned on, Bluetooth® is turned on in your phone, and your device is within range of your phone. The Bluetooth LED on the pod will pulse blue, which means it is waiting to pair. If prompted, tap “Scan for Devices.” Select your device when it pops up on the screen. Once you pair your Normatec Go, HyperSmart™ will allow you to automatically start your session and control the pressure level and time from within the Hyperice App.

CYBERSECURITY

It is recommended to configure the Hyperice App for automatic updates to ensure cybersecurity. It is also recommended to keep your Operating System up to date and to configure your Operating System for automatic updates.

ADJUST THE PRESSURE LEVEL

Adjust the pressure level of the session by pressing the pressure level adjustment button on the top left of the control panel. Pressure level 1 is the gentlest setting. The massage becomes more intense as the pressure level is increased. Level can be adjusted while the session is running.

ADJUST THE SESSION TIME

Adjust the session time by pressing the time adjustment button. The session time can be set to 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. Time can be adjusted while the session is running. Press the time adjustment buttons to cycle through the session time options to add or subtract time from the session.

START THE SESSION

To start the session, press the Start/Stop button.

PATENTED NORMATEC PULSE MASSAGE PATTERN

The patented Normatec Go massage pattern will begin by compressing your upper ankle. Similar to the kneading and stroking performed during a massage, each zone of the wrap will first compress in a pulsing manner and then hold as the compression pattern works its way up your lower limb. When the top zone completes its massage, there will be a brief rest period and then the cycle will begin again. This will repeat until the session time runs out.

The zones on the wrap are numbered in ascending order from distal zone to proximal zone. Zone 1 corresponds to the upper ankle, Zone 2 corresponds to the lower calf, and Zone 3 is the upper calf.

STOP OR PAUSE THE SESSION

To stop the session at any time, press the start/stop button. This will pause the session. To restart your paused session, press the start/stop button again. If you are done using the system, remove the wraps from your limbs, and turn off the control unit by pressing the power button.

FINISH THE SESSION

The session will continue massaging until time runs out and the display reads “Finishing Cycle”. The system will continue until the current cycle is finished. When the session is complete, remove the wraps from your limbs, and turn off the control unit by pressing the power button.

TURN OFF THE CONTROL UNIT

To turn off the system, press the power button and confirm that the Battery Status Indicators and Display are off.

CLEANING THE SYSTEM

• Wipe down the inside and out with a damp, clean cloth.
• Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
• Do not machine wash or dry.
• Do not dry clean.

MAINTAINING THE SYSTEM

The system requires no routine maintenance or service except for the care in this section.

STORING THE SYSTEM

Store the system in a clean, dry location.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

Please call customer service at +1.949.565.4994 or visit our website at hyperice.com for information regarding available replacement parts and accessories.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

The information contained in this section (such as separation distances) is in general specifically written with regard to the Normatec Go. The numbers provided will not guarantee faultless operation but should provide reasonable assurance of such. This information may not be applicable to other medical electrical equipment; older equipment may be particularly susceptible to interference.

GENERAL NOTES

Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this document and the remainder of the instructions for use of this control unit.

  WARNING!

• Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Normatec Go, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
• The Normatec Go should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the NormatecGo should be observed to verify normal operation. If operation is not normal, the Normatec Go or the other equipment should be moved.
