Does A Nuvaring Lose Its Efficacy After Being Exposed To Heat?

I know Nuvarings are not supposed to be left in the heat because it starts releasing hormones at body temperature, but if it is left in the heat for 1 day, does that mean it released 1 day s worth of hormomes and is still good for the other x amount of days? Or is iy completely 100% ineffective?
