URGENT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: This cryotherapy equipment is intended for general wellness applications only when operated by trained professionals. Despite marketing language suggesting medical applications, this device:

• Does NOT treat pain, inflammation, or injuries medically
• Does NOT provide medical orthopedic treatment
• Does NOT treat swelling medically
• Does NOT provide medical rehabilitation
• Does NOT reduce fat or cause fat loss ("cryolipolysis" claims are misleading)
• Does NOT stimulate collagen production in any medically significant way
• Does NOT "detoxify" skin tissue (detox claims are pseudoscience)
• Is NOT a medical device for diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of disease

CRITICAL: Medical and Weight Loss Claims are FALSE/MISLEADING

The original marketing makes several problematic claims:

1. "Reducing inflammation, pain, and swelling" – These are MEDICAL TREATMENT claims. This device does NOT medically treat these conditions.
2. "Orthopedic" and "rehabilitation professionals" – Implies medical treatment applications. This is a wellness device, NOT medical equipment.
3. "Promoting fat reduction through cryolipolysis" – This is a FALSE/MISLEADING claim:
   • Medical cryolipolysis (like CoolSculpting) requires FDA-cleared medical devices with specific parameters, controlled cooling, extended application times
   • This handheld CO₂ device does NOT perform cryolipolysis
   • Cannot cause fat reduction or fat cell destruction
   • Completely different technology and application from medical fat reduction procedures
4. "Stimulating collagen production" – Not supported by evidence for this type of device
5. "Detoxifying skin tissue" – Pseudoscientific claim with no medical basis

Not Evaluated by FDA: Claims about pain relief, inflammation reduction, fat reduction, collagen stimulation, and detoxification have NOT been evaluated by the FDA. This device is NOT FDA cleared or approved for these purposes.

If You Have Pain, Injuries, or Medical Conditions - Seek Proper Medical Care:

Do NOT use cold therapy device as substitute for proper medical treatment:

EXTREME SAFETY WARNINGS - LIFE-THREATENING HAZARDS:

• ⚠️ EXTREME COLD HAZARD - FROSTBITE/TISSUE DAMAGE RISK – CO₂ cryotherapy devices deliver EXTREMELY cold temperatures (can reach -78.5°C / -109.3°F at nozzle): Frostbite can occur within SECONDS of direct contact or prolonged close exposure MANDATORY safety protocols:
  • Operator MUST be professionally trained in cryotherapy safety
  • NEVER apply device in direct contact with skin (maintain proper distance per manufacturer guidelines)
  • NEVER keep device stationary over one area—continuous movement required
  • Monitor skin response constantly during treatment
  • Have emergency frostbite treatment protocol in place
  • Know signs of frostbite: numbness, white or grayish-yellow skin, unusually firm or waxy skin, blistering
  • STOP immediately if any signs of frostbite or excessive cold injury
  Severe frostbite can cause:
  • Permanent tissue damage
  • Nerve damage
  • Amputation of affected tissue in extreme cases
  • Scarring and disfigurement
• ⚠️ ASPHYXIATION HAZARD - CO₂ GAS DISPLACEMENT OF OXYGEN – Pressurized CO₂ gas displaces oxygen in enclosed spaces: MANDATORY ventilation requirements:
  • Use ONLY in well-ventilated areas with adequate fresh air circulation
  • NEVER use in small, enclosed rooms without proper ventilation
  • NEVER use in poorly ventilated spaces
  • Be aware that CO₂ is heavier than air and accumulates at floor level
  • Have CO₂ monitors in treatment areas if possible
  Signs of oxygen deficiency (hypoxia):
  • Dizziness, lightheadedness
  • Confusion, difficulty concentrating
  • Rapid breathing or shortness of breath
  • Headache
  • Loss of coordination
  • Loss of consciousness
  If anyone experiences these symptoms:
  • Evacuate area immediately to fresh air
  • Seek emergency medical attention
  • Do not re-enter until area is properly ventilated
  Severe oxygen deprivation can cause brain damage or death
• ⚠️ CARDIAC EVENT RISK - HEART ATTACK/ARRHYTHMIA – Extreme cold exposure causes:
  • Vasoconstriction (blood vessel narrowing)
  • Increased heart rate and blood pressure
  • Stress on cardiovascular system
  • Can trigger heart attack, arrhythmias, or stroke in susceptible individuals
  MANDATORY screening:
  • Screen ALL clients for cardiovascular conditions before ANY treatment
  • Exclude anyone with heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke history
  • Have emergency response plan and equipment (AED) available
  • Operator trained in emergency response
  This is not theoretical—cold therapy has caused cardiac events and deaths
• ⚠️ PROFESSIONAL SUPERVISION ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY – This device must ONLY be operated by:
  • Trained professionals who have completed proper cryotherapy device training
  • In appropriate professional settings (clinics, spas, athletic facilities) with proper safety protocols
  • With proper emergency equipment and response capability
  • Never for self-treatment or unsupervised use
  Operator must:
  • Understand all contraindications and screen clients properly
  • Know proper application techniques and safety protocols
  • Recognize signs of adverse reactions
  • Have emergency response training
  • Maintain appropriate professional liability insurance
• ⚠️ TREATMENT TIME LIMITS CRITICAL – Excessive cold exposure increases risk:
  • Follow manufacturer guidelines for treatment duration on each body area
  • Typically 30-90 seconds per area maximum for this type of device
  • NEVER exceed recommended exposure times
  • Allow skin to return to normal temperature between areas
  • Do not treat same area multiple times in one session without proper recovery time
• ⚠️ SKIN PREPARATION AND MONITORING MANDATORY:
  • Skin must be completely clean and dry
  • Remove all lotions, oils, makeup, products
  • Remove jewelry from treatment area
  • Visually inspect skin before, during, and after treatment
  • Monitor for signs of excessive cold injury
  • Stop immediately if skin shows adverse response
• ⚠️ "FAT REDUCTION/CRYOLIPOLYSIS" CLAIM IS COMPLETELY FALSE – This handheld CO₂ device does NOT and CANNOT:
  • Reduce fat or destroy fat cells
  • Perform cryolipolysis (body contouring)
  • Cause weight loss or fat loss
  TRUE cryolipolysis (medical fat reduction) requires:
  • FDA-cleared medical devices specifically designed for this purpose (e.g., CoolSculpting)
  • Controlled, sustained cooling at specific temperatures for 35-60 minutes
  • Precise applicators that suction and cool adipose tissue
  • Medical oversight and proper patient selection
  • NOT a handheld CO₂ spray device with brief application
  This device uses completely different technology, application method, and exposure time. It is NOT capable of fat reduction. Any claims suggesting fat loss are FALSE and potentially violate FTC regulations. If clients want fat reduction: refer to qualified medical professionals offering FDA-cleared body contouring procedures.
• ⚠️ "DETOXIFYING" CLAIM IS PSEUDOSCIENCE – Claims about "detoxifying skin tissue" have no scientific basis:
  • Human body has liver and kidneys for detoxification
  • Cold exposure does not "detox" anything
  • This is marketing language without medical meaning
  • Do not make detox claims to clients (violates FTC guidelines)
• ⚠️ "ORTHOPEDIC" AND "REHABILITATION" CLAIMS ARE MISLEADING – Device name and marketing suggest medical applications:
