Basic characteristic of the device

CarePump pressotherapy devices

CarePump is a series of pressotherapy devices designed and manufactured as a result of many years of experience and re- search conducted by physiotherapy masters. Consultations with our clients regarding necessary functions, exploitation and comfort of use allowed us to create a diversified line of devices adjusted to the needs of medical staff, patients, athletes and all other users.

CarePump devices are used for regeneration, relaxation and improving your well-being. The device works very similar to manual massage, which can be performed on your own body. This is executed on the principle of a pressure massage. Massage is performed by air-filled chambers placed in the cuffs, to which air is supplied through a system of flexible pipes from the central unit containing the compressor. Each cuff contains a plurality of independent chambers, which are sequentially inflated according to selected program.

The basic set that allows you to perform the treatment with CarePump device includes:

A  Central unit (device) – used to set parameters such as: program, pressure, time or speed of pumping the chambers in the cuffs.

B  Air ducts – used to supply air through independent channels to the individual cuff chambers. They connect the de- vice with the cuffs.

C  Cuffs – used on individual parts of the body (arms, legs, etc.). By sequential inflation of the cuff chambers, a part of the body (where the cuff is placed) is being compressed to allow achieving a massage effect.

Pressotherapy (lymphatic drainage massage) and its function

Pressotherapy consists of sequential and directional pressure on a part of the body, where dedicated cuff is placed. The air- filled cuff chamber (by pneumatic compression) induces a mechanical massage effect. Particular chambers fill in with air in specified time and accordingly to programmed cycle. This causes a sequential pressure effect which turns into a rhythmic wave. Lymphatic drainage massage is positively perceived as a very pleasant and effective way to regenerate and relax. The patient feels relief in the areas covered by the massage.

During this type of massage, similar physiological processes take place as in manual massage. It mainly stimulates the activity of the body, restores and stimulates its functioning, improves the flow and accelerates the exchange of fluids in the system. The benefits are also the same as in classic manual massage:

▶ regeneration,
▶ relaxation,
▶ improved well-being,
▶ improved skin elasticity,
▶ preventive healthcare.

Possible side effects of pressotherapy include:

▶ short-term pain exacerbation,
▶ petechiae,
▶ hematomas and bruises.

Indications for pressotherapy

It is recommended to perform pressotherapy every day. Work mode, time of the treatment and drainage/massage pressure depend on the individual preferences and possibilities, the aim of the treatment and applied prevention.

▶ increase the body’s resistance
▶ stimulation of metabolism and restoration of its function
▶ prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity
▶ reduction of swelling
▶ improving regeneration of tired and sore muscles
▶ exudates
▶ cellulite
▶ heavy legs
▶ and others the same as in classic manual massage

Contraindications to pressotherapy

▶ pain or numbness of unknown origin
▶ severe atherosclerosis or ischemia
▶ vascular diseases are a relative contraindication to pressotherapy
▶ pregnancy
▶ hypertension
▶ pacemaker
▶ thrombophlebitis
▶ skin diseases, moles
▶ lymphangitis
▶ dermatitis, wounds
▶ arthritis
▶ high body temperature
▶ thick, external, visible varicose veins
▶ cardiac rhythm disturbances (arrhythmia)
▶ blood pressure disorders
▶ myocardial ischemia
▶ asthma
▶ tumors, infiltrates, neoplasms
▶ cardiac and respiratory failure
▶ kidney failure
▶ and others the same as in classic manual massage

Installation and starting the device

Before starting the device, check the completeness of the set and make sure if it has no defects or mechanical dam- age. In case of any noticed damage, contact the distributor or manufacturer of the device. Do not proceed with the installation and starting the machine if the packaging is damaged. Unpack the device and place it on a stable surface adequate for its weight. Remember not to place the device too close to the wall, because the holes of cooling fans are located on the front of the case. Do not place on or near the device other electrical devices that may generate electro- magnetic field or high temperature and objects containing water or other liquids.

When the device is delivered in autumn or winter months, when the ambient temperature is below 10ºC, wait about 2 hours before starting the device to equilibrate the temperature of the room and the device. The condensation of water vapor may cause an electric shock or fire.

How to connect the power supply and charge the battery

To charge the CarePump Move6 device:

A Connect the power cord to the AC/DC adapter.
B Connect the DC plug to the power socket of the Move device.
C Plug the AC adapter into a 100-240V power source.

Power supply and charging modes

The CarePump Move6 allows to work on three different power supply modes. The modes activate automatically, due to used functions and the power supply connection:

▶ Mobile mode – the device operates on battery power until it is fully discharged.
▶ Full charging mode – the device remains turned off and connected to the mains current. The charging process is indicated by a red LED on the charger. When charging is complete, the LED will change to green.
▶ Passive charging mode – the device remains turned on and connected to the mains current using the power supply. The procedure can be performed. The charging process is indicated by a red LED on the charger. When charging is complete, the LED will change to green.

Attention!

▶ Only the power supply provided by the manufacturer should be used.
▶ Before charging the device, make sure that the voltage in the installation is 100-240V 50/60Hz.
▶ If the cable is mechanically damaged, replace it with another one.
▶ Do not place the machine close to the wall, because the power supply socket is located on the back of the case.
▶ The charging device should not be left unsupervised.
▶ Before the first use of the device, battery should be fully charged by the user.

How to connect the air ducts

A Connect the plug of a single air duct or the air duct splitter (in case you need to connect two cuffs at the same time) to the input located on the back of the case. When connecting the air duct or the splitter, pay attention to the notch which indicates proper connection of them.

B To connect the air duct, push it into the correct input until you hear a click of both side buttons. To disconnect the air duct, press buttons on both sides of the plug at the same time.

When connecting two single air ducts to the splitter, pay attention to the notch which indicates proper connection of them.

C The next step is connecting the air duct to the cuff. The separate ends of the air duct should be clipped into the individual chambers of the cuff with correct order. The proper connection is indicated by a dark gray plug. The separate ends should be connected in following order: from the longest to the shortest one. Correctly plugged end in the cuff chamber will make a characteristic click.

First use of cuffs

Before performing the first procedure, carefully check the condition of the air ducts and cuffs.

Make sure all air ducts are properly and securely attached and that none of them are falling out of the cuff. Also check the cables for any cracks or damage.

Next, proceed to prepare the cuffs. If the air chamber of the cuff is concave or ‘stuck together’, try to manually spread the cuff to allow it to fill with air freely.

Before starting the first treatment, we recommend inflating the cuffs without putting them on the body. In order to do this, lay the cuffs flat and set the device to a pressure of 200 mmHg and the “global massage” operating mode. Start the procedure.

During the first inflation of the cuff, not all chambers may fully fill with air.

After the first two inflation cycles (at the recommended pressure of 200 mmHg), all chambers should inflate evenly.

Attention!

Before each use of the equipment, we recommend checking the technical condition of the ducts and cuff and ensuring that all cuff chambers inflate properly.

To select one of the six defined programs, press the name of the selected program in the list. To get more information about a given program (the way of filling the chambers, time, speed, interval, hold, gradient parameters), select the “i” B symbol.

Interval/Hold function

The parameter „Interval” A defines the time between subsequent cycles of filling the chambers.

The parameter „Hold” B determines the time of keeping the maximum set pressure by the chambers.

Both parameters are defined for therapeutic pre-programs and cannot be edited.

Pressure level

To select the pressure level, press the circular area with a number “0” and the pressure unit “mmHg” in it, named “ Pressure”.

After clicking on the icon, a frame used to adjust the parameter with a scrolling list with a pressure range of 20-220 mmHg will be displayed on the screen. Values on the list can be dis- played with an accuracy of 1, 5 and 10. You can decide on the accuracy of the displayed values by clicking on the rounded arrow icon in the upper right corner of the frame A .

Once the required pressure value is highlighted, confirm it by pressing “OK” button.

Additionally, 6 constant values will be displayed on the sides of the list for quick selection of pressure, and below the list, the last selected value will be shown.

Attention!

Pressure as a parameter is not defined for provided pro- grams. It should be adapted to the needs of each patient, based on the patient’s blood pressure and his feelings during the treatment.

Treatment time

A To set the treatment time, press the circular area with a number in it, named “ Time ”. After clicking on the icon, a frame used to adjust the parameter with a a scrolling list with values 1-120 minutes will be displayed on the screen.
