The Aerify Charge is a pneumatic compression device designed for muscle recovery and relaxation, primarily targeting the legs. It uses air pressure to create a dynamic and effective massage, aiming to increase lymph and blood circulation, reduce swelling, flush lactic acid, and promote faster recovery.
Function Description:
The Aerify Charge operates by sequentially pressurizing different air chambers within recovery boots. This pneumatic compression stimulates external blood circulation, which helps in removing waste products of metabolism (like lactic acid) and delivering nutrient and oxygen-rich blood to the muscles for rebuilding. It offers six pre-programmed massage modes, categorized for either intense recovery sessions or muscle relaxing massages.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Weight: 1.464 KG
- Size: 24.5 x 14.3 x 9.2 cm
- Power Consumption: 35 W
- Charger Input: 11.1 V
- Charger Output: DC 12.6 V; 2A
- Battery Capacity: 5000 mAh
- Pressure Levels: 16 different levels, ranging from 15 mmHg (level 1) to 240 mmHg (level 16), with each level representing an increase of 15 mmHg.
- Air Chambers: 8 individual air chambers in the boots.
Usage Features:
The Aerify Charge device features a user-friendly interface with several adjustable settings:
- Power Level (Pressure): Users can increase or decrease the pressure power from level 1 to 16. It's recommended to start with medium pressure (LEVEL 6 to 10, between 90-150 mmHg) and adjust based on comfort and tolerance. The sensation should be pleasurable yet firm.
- Session Time: The session length can be set from 1 to 99 minutes. A default session of 30 minutes a day is recommended, but for quick warm-ups, 15 minutes of high pressure can suffice, while post-workout sessions can extend to 50-60 minutes.
- Massage Modes: There are six pre-programmed massage modes (A, B, C, D, E, F) to choose from:
- Modes A, B, C (Intense Recovery):
- A: "sequential squeeze" - Best for lymphatic drainage and flushing lactic acid.
- B: "triple wave pulse pressure" - For lactic acid flush and muscle relaxation (2-in-1), ideal after long training.
- C: "full squeeze and release" - All chambers inflate simultaneously for a quick, super intense therapy.
- Modes D, E, F (Muscle Relaxing Massages):
- D: "single wave pulse pressure" - Provides an excellent relaxing massage after a long day.
- E: "peristaltic double wave" - For an intense muscle relax.
- F: "peristaltic triple wave" - For an even more intense muscle relax.
- Individual Chamber Selection/Deselection: The 8 air chambers of the boots can be individually switched on or off. This allows users to avoid painful or tender areas, or to focus compression on specific regions. By default, all chambers are selected. To deselect, press on the desired chamber before starting the program. To re-select, pause the program, press the chamber, and restart.
- Battery Level Indicator: The device includes an indicator to show the current battery level.
- Start/Stop Button: A central button to initiate or end the recovery session.
- Power Button: A green power button on the side of the machine turns the Aerify Charge ON.
Assembly and Operation:
- Connect Air Hoses: Lift the hose covers on the sides of the boots and connect the pins of the air hoses one by one to the boots. Ensure connections are air-tight and secure, then close the hose covers.
