ARB Systems Proyectos Electrónicos SL,
founded in 2006, is a company dedicated to
research, development and innovation, as
well as manufacturing in the sectors of
biotechnology, electro medicine and
advanced medical and aesthetic equipment.
Therapy Care C is a high-tech equipment,
designed for the application of cold,
accompanied by hydraulic compression
massage.
Therapy Care C, helps you regain your
physical shape, better and faster and does
so by enhancing the body's natural
mechanisms, using the power of cold
applications, combined with the application
of sequential hydraulic compressions.
Therapy Care C is not a medical device. The

MAINS PLUG

The exchangers are not sterile, do not place them directly on ulcers, or open wounds
The exchangers for hygiene, will always be applied on a plastic film or disposable bandage.
The equipment is prepared to be used with a single exchanger
•Two leg exchangers can be connected simultaneously, taking the following precautions:
•1st check that the equipment tank is full.
•2nd Check that the leg exchangers are not empty of fluid.
•At the end of the treatment, make sure that the tank is full and if not, proceed to
refill the tank.
CONTRAINDICATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS 09
•Wait for a few minutes, (without
manipulating the equipment), in order to
allow the equipment to reset itself and
return to normal operation.
•If this does not occur, proceed to
disconnect the equipment: by pressing on
the shutdown switch of the equipment.
•Once the equipment is turned off, leave it
off for about 30 seconds and proceed to
turn it on.
•If the problem persists or repeats, notify
the technical service.
The equipment do not respond to the keys on the screen
ON / OFF SWITCH
Therapy Care C is not a medical device, so the use of the equipment for
physiotherapy, rehabilitation,…treatments will always be carried out under the
supervision of qualified personnel.
Condensation
In environments with high levels of humidity and if we leave the equipment in Stand By
cooling, small drops of condensation may occur on the base of the equipment, or under it, it
is not a fluid leak, it is only condensation, which is eliminated simply with a dry cloth.
Very important:
If for some reason there is a power cut or the treatment is interrupted by turning off the
equipment, pressing the power switch, if when restarting the equipment, the level of the
tanks is low, without disconnecting the exchangers from the equipment, empty these into the
equipment . (In these cases, if the exchangers are not emptied, the tanks may overflow)
When using the ADC, (Direct Contrast Applicator), zero the pressure level in the equipment.

IMPORTANT: Do not clean the equipment or exchangers with solvents or other aggressive
products, as these may damage them.
Equipment cleaning:
To clean the chassis, use only a damp cloth in water.
To clean the screen use some kind of screen cleaning liquid.
Take special care not to hit, press, bend, etc., the screen and especially the Touch panel of the
equipment.
Exchangers cleaning:
The exchangers are simply cleaned with a cloth dampened in a soapy solution, or with a
disinfectant liquid, (not aggressive).
Preventive maintenance:
The equipment does not require any preventive maintenance to be performed by the user.
An annual review by the service technician is recommended, in order to verify the proper
functioning of the equipment and replenish the fluid levels.
Equipment transport:
Whenever you are going to transport the equipment, you must proceed to empty the tanks,
follow the instructions in the section “Tank emptying / Filling”.
