Basic characteristic
of the device
CarePump is a series of pressotherapy devices designed
and manufactured as a result of many years of experience
and research conducted by physiotherapy masters. Consul-
tations with our clients regarding necessary functions, ex-
ploitation and comfort of use allowed us to create a diversi-
fied line of devices adjusted to every need 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 sim-
ilar 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 sys-
tem of flexible pipes from the central unit containing the
compressor. Each cuff contains a plurality of independent
chambers, which are sequentially inflated according to se-
lected program.
2.1. CarePump pressotherapy
devices

The basic set that allows you to perform the treat-
ment with CarePump device includes:
Central unit (device) – used to set parameters such as:
time, program, speed of pumping the chambers in the
cuffs or pressure.
Air ducts – used to supply air through independent chan-
nels to the individual cuff chambers. They connect the de-
vice with the cuffs.
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.

It is recommended to perform pressotherapy every day.
Work mode, time of the treatment and drainage / massage
pressure depend on the individual preferences and possi-
bilities, 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.
Pressotherapy consists of sequential and directional pres-
sure on a part of the body, where dedicated cuff is placed.
The air-filled cuff chamber (by pneumatic compression) in-
duces 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 pos-
itively perceived as a very pleasant and effective way to re-
generate and relax. The patient feels relief in the areas cov-
ered 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.

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 distribu-
tor 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 sur-
face 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 back of the case. Do not place on
or near the device other electrical devices that may gener-
ate electromagnetic 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 tem-
perature of the room and the device. The condensation of
water vapor may cause an electric shock or fire.

4.2. How to connect
the air ducts
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 front of the case. When connect-
ing the air duct or the splitter, pay attention to the notch
which indicates proper connection of them.
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.

The next step is connecting the air duct to the cuff. The sep-
arate ends of the air duct should be clipped into the individ-
ual chambers of the cuff with correct order. The proper con-
nection 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 cham-
ber will make a characteristic click.
After performing all the above steps, the device is ready for use.
