DESCRIPTION OF ARES
ARES is an equipment microcontroled for carboxitherapy. It is a CLASS II monophasic equipment
with applied part of BF type of security and protection.
In carboxitherapy, the carbon dioxide (CO2) is insufflated subcutaneously with specific accessories.
The CO2 is injected in a controlled way and the gas infusion is programmed according to the purposes of
the treatment and the functions of the resistance found in the human tissues.
The use of CO2 USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade, the use of bacterial filters and the asepsis
of the treated area ensure the low risk of the local contamination. CO 2 is nontoxic and introduced through
subcutaneous injection with 30 G ½ needles (insulin).
ARES controls are operated through a touch keyboard. All information concerning the parameters
chosen by the therapist are displayed in the alphanumeric liquid crystal display.

ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE
Carboxitherapy is a method widely used in Esthetic Medicine, Dermato-funcional Physiotherapy and
by other professionals working in the health area properly licensed to treat cellulite, skin flabbiness,
localized fat, stretch marks and anesthetic scars.
Other sciences such as Rheumatology, Angelology, Dermatology, and Physiotherapy have also used
this resource for treating disorders including peripherical artery diseases, microangiopathy, varicose ulcers,
psoriasis, and sports injuries, among others.
The therapy consists of subcutaneous applications of controlled concentrations of carbon dioxide
(CO2 standard/ USP grade). It is a fast therapy, with very little discomfort and very efficient for most
patients.
Although Carboxitherapy is a new technique, the use of CO2 for therapeutic purposes began in
France around 1932, in Royat thermal station where dry carbon dioxide baths in carbonic water were used
to treat patients with peripheral artery diseases, ulcers and wounds.
This kind of treatment with transcutaneous CO2 was used for many years. The results encouraged
further studies, leading to the increasing indications of new treatments (Corassa et al., 2006).
In 1990, Belotti et al., in Rabbi Thermal Institute, whose water has a percentage of carbon similar to
Royat, began to study the actual benefits in the treatment of localized fat and cellulite.
After the development of new techniques, the application is no longer topical, and the CO 2 has
been injected directly into the subcutaneous tissue, ensuring better and faster results.
Thus, the term Carboxitherapy was originated, that is, the use of carbon dioxide, CO2, a metabolite
normally produced in our body for therapeutic purposes.
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND INTENDED USE OF ARES CARBOXITHERAPY
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas produced during the cellular metabolism which spreads rapidly from
the cells to the capillaries to be transported dissolved in the plasma in the form of biocarbonate ions
(HCO3-). It is bound to hemoglobin (hemoglobin-carbamino) and to other carbaminic compounds up to the
lungs where it is eliminated to the air (Nardelli et al, 2009, Tortora e Grabowski, 2002; Guyton e Hall,
2011).
At rest, with normal ventilation, the human body consumes about 250 mL/min of O2 (transported
from the lungs to the tissues) and emits 250 mL/min of CO2 (removed from the tissues and excreted
through the alveolar breathing), but may increase this volume by about six times during physical exercises
(about 1200/1500 mL/min) (Viegas, 2002; Tortora and Grabowski, 2002; Guyton and Hall, 2011).
CO2 is very soluble in the plasma and the dissolved amount is determined by the product of the
partial pressure of the gas and its solubility coefficient (α = 0,03 mL/dL of blood/mmHg). It can spread into
the bloodstream in amounts up to 100 mL/min without major changes in the partial pressure of CO2
(PaCO2). A slight increase in the concentration of CO2 dissolved in the plasma activates control mechanisms
of ventilation which increase the frequency and the depth of breathing allowing greater CO2 exhalation
and O2 capturing (Tortora and Grabowski, 2002; Guyton and Hall, 2011).
13
Instruções de Uso
ARES 1ª edição 12/2009
One of the main mechanisms for adjusting the pulmonary ventilation is the partial pressure of CO2
(PaCO2), the quantity of CO2 dissolved in the arterial blood. The variations of PaCO2 are noticed by the
central and peripheral chemoreceptors and the mechanisms to increase or decrease the ventilation are
driven to keep PaCO2 around 35-45 mmHg (Nardelli et al., 2009).
During the carboxitherapy, an average from 30 – 100mL/minute of CO2 are administered by
subcutaneous assisted infusion. The small rise in CO2 levels is readily solved by a slight increase of the
frequency and depth of breathing during and after the treatment without the risk of hypercapnia and
respiratory acidosis (Viegas, 2002; Tortora e Grabowski, 2002; Guyton and Hall, 2011; Varlaro et al., 2007).
The CO2 (USP standard) used in carboxitherapy is the same used to promote pneumoperitoneum in
laparoscopic video surgery (Ochiai et al., 2000; Abu-Rafea et al., 2006) and arteriography (Simão and
Guillamoun, 2004). The total volume of insufflated gas under assisted pressure during the
pneumoperitoneum may vary from 1 to 4 liters and to calculate the ideal value to be insufflated, variables
such as height, weight, body mass index and age should be considered (Abu-Rafea et al., 2006, Mulier et
al., 2009).
For esthetic/therapeutic use of subcutaneous carboxitherapy, the total volume insufflated per
session ranges from 200 to 1200mL, indicated depending on the area to be treated and the purposes of
the treatment.
The O2 affinity with the hemoglobin is altered by pH, because the acidity stimulates the oxygen
release, so in the presence of the carbon dioxide this affinity is reduced. So the presence of high levels of
CO2 in the tissues or in the capillaries close to them favors the oxygen release of the hemoglobin creating
the Bohn effect. When used as therapeutic method, the excess CO2 is eliminated from the body by
physiological mechanisms through the breathing or by the kidneys in the form of hydrogen ions (+H) or
bicarbonate (H2CO3). The correct application of carbon dioxide (CO2) does not promote toxicity to the
body (Viegas, 2002; Tortora e Grabowski, 2002; Guyton e Hall, 2011).
The infusion of CO2 activates the local microcirculation, improves the cell nutrition and eliminates
toxins, reduces the inflammation processes improving the tissue quality. It is a technique that may act
alone or as an excellent adjunct to conventional therapies. Among the expected results are: improved
microcirculation and reduction of edema, improvement of cell nutrition and elimination of toxins,
reduction of localized fat, improvement of elasticity and skin tone (smoother and regular), reduction of
measures and body remodeling (Brandi et al., 2001., Corassa et al., 2006, Varlaro et al., 2007, Ferreira et
al., 2008; Lee, 2010)

Instruções de Uso
ARES 1ª edição 12/2009
Figure 8. Option of system drainage offered by ARES.
 This question will be displayed every time the equipment is connected. For YES press the BACK key.
This procedure should be made whenever the gas cylinder is installed for the first time, when gas
refilling is done or by any other reason which had been necessary to disconnect the equipment
from the gas cylinder.
 Draining the system means to replace all the ambient gas from the system by medical CO2
contained in the cylinder; thus, avoiding operational mistake. Draining the system only once is
enough to assure the replacement; then, whenever you connect the equipment again and the
question is displayed, just answer NO by pressing the NEXT key.
2nd STEP: Next, the second question is displayed “DRAIN HOSE?” (Figure 9).
 This question should be answered YES by pressing the BACK key, whenever you replace the hose,
i.e., when starting the treatment with a new patient. The drainage of the hose is the removal of the
ambient air contained inside the tube and its replacement for CO2, this way, avoiding application
mistakes. All the programmed data in the equipment, including the CO2 volume used in the session
and the gas effective emission time are zeroed. After this procedure, ARES is effectively ready to
the next treatment session.
Figure 9. Sequence of events displayed on the liquid crystal display when draining ARES hose.
 If you have finished draining the system, also answer NO by pressing the NEXT key.
 If, for any reason, you have interrupted the treatment, by disconnecting the equipment and then
decide to continue the treatment with the same patient, answer NO by pressing the NEXT key.
25
Instruções de Uso
ARES 1ª edição 12/2009
 If the choice is YES, (press BACK) the accumulated volume (VOLUME) and the gas infusion time
(TIMER) will be zeroed.
 If the choice is NO, the following question will appear on the display: “ZERO OUT VOLUME?”, if the
answer is NO (press NEXT), the values are kept the same and the functions return to the previous
condition so that the treatment in progress can be continued.
Note: For system drainage and/or hose drainage, the needle should not be connected to the hose.
3rd STEP: The treatment parameters are programmed by touch keyboard and shown on the alphanumerical

6th STEP: The key START/STOP has dual function, when the equipment is programmed, just press the key
to start the gas output of ARES system and by pressing the key again when using the equipment, it stops
the gas emission. If preferred by the operator, the pedal can be used instead of the key. Thus, when
activating the key START or PEDAL (when the pedal function is turned on), the process of releasing or
stopping the gas flow will be started.
 Right after the release of CO2 by the equipment is started, the luminous indicator of CO2 gas
OUTPUT will light up; that means the effective CO2 flow output of the system.
 In the function INTENSITY, the UP and DOWN keys allow to increase (UP) or reduce (DOWN) the
gas flow velocity in mL/min in real-time, i.e., during the infusion procedure, without the need to
stop the system to correct (increase or reduce) this parameter.
Note: We suggest that the procedure to prepare the patient should be done before turning on and
program the equipment.
PROG./MENU Key
The control key PROG./MENU has dual functions: program selection (treatment particular
protocols) and menu. Therefore, according to its function, we can call it PROG key or MENU key.
The first is displayed when we briefly press the key. This way, we have access to a system of
parameters programming record, i.e., ARES carboxytherapy system allows to record protocols called
particular protocols. The second is activated when we press the key for 3 seconds, in this case, the
following language option is offered: Portuguese, Spanish and English.
1- Functioning as PROG key
This PROG key is used to select treatment protocols, i.e., ready programs which are memorized in
the equipment.
To program the protocols, after pressing the key briefly, select one of the particular protocols from
1 to 10, go back to the previous key (pressing PROG/MENU again); enter the values in the parameters set
volume and flow and press START/STOP.
The selected parameters will be recorded in the system and can be accessed whenever it is
necessary. ARES can store up to 10 particular treatment protocols. Whenever a protocol is accessed and its
parameters have been altered, the key START/STOP should be pressed so that the last entered data is
stored in the equipment memory when it is turned off. This way, for example, it is possible to build up
personalized protocols and use them whenever is appropriate.
2- Functioning as MENU key
This MENU key is used to select the language of the text which is shown on the liquid crystal
display. There are three options of languages: Portuguese, English or Spanish. After selecting the language
through the keys SET+ and SET-, just press the key PROG/MENU again so that the selection is registered.

After this procedure, the equipment will restart automatically. Whenever ARES is connected, the last
selected language will be executed.
CO2 CYLINDER INSTALLATION
To acquire your gas cylinder call: White Martins 0800- 709-9000 (ideal weight for ARES cabinet: 4,5
kg). After acquiring the cylinder, prepare the cylinder and CO2 regulating valve installation. ARES cabinet
has a compartment to store both the cylinder and the regulating valve.
Prepare the gas cylinder and the pressure regulating valve as follows:
 Remove the cylinder protection cap and keep it in a safe place; thus, whenever it is necessary to
refill the gas, the company responsible for the service will only transport the cylinder with the cap.
 Get the sealing ring and put it between the pressure regulator and the cylinder gas output. Screw
the regulating valve nut to the cylinder gas output screw thread with both hands. Next, check if the
manometer is in a position which favors the daily visualization of its indicator needle and finally
with the aid of a spanner tighten one to the other firmly.
 Now connect the cylinder gas conductive hose to the equipment; to do this just press firmly one of
the ends of the hose into the connector of the adapter gas output which is fixed to the pressure
regulator valve. This connector, as well as the equipment gas input connector has fast-coupling
system. If it is necessary to uncouple the hose, just press the blue ring towards the connector and
turn the hose simultaneously in the opposite direction, this way it is released.
Attention: never pull the hose from the fast-coupling system strongly without pressing the ring in
order to avoid permanent damages to its locks.
 Open the cabinet rear door and remove it. Place the cylinder together with the regulator inside the
cabinet. Attach the cylinder with the fixation belts, keep the door open until you finish all the
installation, including the leak testing and valve opening of the cylinder gas output.
 To finish ARES assembling, place the device on the cabinet, pull the hose through the upper hole of
the cabinet rear cover and connect the hose against the gas input connector in the equipment.
Connect the pedal and the detachable power cable in their respective connections.
28
Instruções de Uso
ARES 1ª edição 12/2009
 Now, just open the gas cylinder valve turning it anti-clockwise until one turn is fully completed. For
safety reasons, the cylinder gas output valve should be always closed at the end of the work day
and opened again when necessary.
LEAK TESTING
Make the leak testing right after the gas cylinder installation and also periodically. Check if the
cylinder register is opened and if the hoses are connected.
With brush, water and soap, check if there is not leaking in the system. For that, just apply the foam
that was formed on the tip of the brush over the connectors and the cylinder valve; observe if there is
formation of gas bubbles. If it occurs, press the blue hose connectors again with your hands and the
pressure valve nut with the spanner. Check again if there is leaking. After the procedure, dry the
connections with paper towel.
Close the cabinet rear door and finally plug the equipment into the local power grid. ARES is bivolt.
Thus, it commutes the voltage automatically. After that, just press the on/off key to connect the
equipment. So, your ARES carboxytherapy system is ready to be programed.
Cylinder refill
The cylinder manometer does not work as a symmetrical gas meter, i.e., every time the gas is
consumed the indicator needle goes down; it keeps constant whenever there is CO2 in liquefied form.
When the CO2 in liquefied form finishes, and there is only CO2 in gaseous form left, the cylinder will start to
depressurize and manometer indicator needle will go down quickly. When the indicator needle is at 40
kgf/cm2, it is necessary to change the cylinder.
