HOW REVITIVE WORKS
REVITIVE delivers electrical stimulation to your feet via a pair of cushioned
foot pads, while you are seated. The electrical stimulation causes muscles
in your calf and foot to contract, which helps to increase circulation in your
lower legs.
REVITIVE Advanced has been developed so that it is comfortable for you to
use. It features an IsoRocker (patent pending) that allows for natural ankle
movement when applying the electrical stimulation to your feet. Ankle
movement is a key factor in increasing circulation in the lower legs. You can
choose to enable or disable the IsoRocker at any time.
REVITIVE Advanced is designed to be easy to use and also comes with
a remote control, which means you do not have to reach down to adjust
settings during use.
REVITIVE Advanced can also deliver electrical stimulation to the
knees, shoulders, back or arms through the use of the Electrode
Body Pads provided.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WHO SHOULD NOT USE REVITIVE
REVITIVE should not be used by some people.
Do not use if (contraindications):
• Fitted with an electronic implanted device such as a heart pacemaker or
Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
• You are pregnant
• Being treated for, or have the symptoms of, an existing Deep Vein
Thrombosis (“DVT”)
Long periods of inactivity can put you at greater risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis
(DVT). DVT is a blood clot and usually occurs in a deep leg vein. If part of the DVT breaks off
it may lead to potentially life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism.
If you have been inactive for prolonged periods and suspect you may have a DVT, consult your
doctor immediately. To prevent dislodging the clot do not use REVITIVE.
In some cases of DVT there may be no symptoms. However it is important to be aware of the
symptoms that may include:
• pain, swelling and tenderness in one of your legs (usually your calf)
• a heavy ache in the affected area
• warm skin in the area of the clot
• redness of your skin, particularly at the back of your leg, below the knee
Consult your doctor as soon as possible if you show any signs of the above symptoms.

Warnings
•If you have an existing medical condition, consult with your doctor
before use.
•If you have a history of heart problems, consult your doctor before using
this device.
• If you are unsure about the suitability of the REVITIVE Advanced for you or
unsure about the cause of your symptoms, you should consult with your doctor
before use.
•Do not use the body pads on your head, face, neck or chest.
•Do not apply body pads directly:
•on open wounds or rashes, swollen, red, infected, or inflamed
areas or skin eruptions (such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis,
varicose veins, cellulitis)
•on or close to, malignant tumours
•on areas treated with radiotherapy (within the past 6 months)
•on reproductive organs
•Do not use body pads after their expiration date.
•There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath
the stimulation electrodes or hypersensitivity due to the electrical
stimulation.
•Symptoms may worsen during the initial treatment phase before getting
better. This may occur if the body has not yet adjusted to increased muscular
activity and blood circulation. If this occurs, reduce the intensity and the
duration of treatment which will reduce the initial symptoms, if symptoms
persist consult with your doctor.
•If you experience adverse reactions, stop using REVITIVE Advanced and talk
with your doctor.

Cautions
•Be careful when applying stimulation:
•over areas of skin that lack normal sensation. It may cause
skin irritation due to the inability to feel stimulation until the
intensity is too high - use a low intensity to achieve a gentle
muscle contraction, and/or use for a shorter time, to avoid
overstimulation.
•over the abdomen during menstruation.
•after recent surgical procedures as stimulation may disrupt your
healing process.
•If your tissues are likely to bleed following an injury such as a
muscle tear – it is recommended not to stimulate the immediate
area within the first 12 hours after sustaining the injury. Use a low
intensity and/or shorter time to avoid over-stimulation.
•after a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity
and shorter time to avoid overstimulation or muscle fatigue.
Look for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt,
consult your doctor.
•The long-term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
•This product is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety.
Safety Precautions
•Do not stand on the machine. Use only when sitting down.
•Use the device only for its intended purpose.
•Do not expose the device to extreme heat.

•Do not spill liquid on the device or its accessories.
•Do not overload the electrical outlet.
•Not suitable for use by children.
•Use the REVITIVE Advanced only with the accessories supplied by, or
purchased from, the manufacturer.
•Do not open the REVITIVE Advanced or repair it yourself. This will
invalidate your warranty and may cause serious harm.
•In the unlikely event your REVITIVE malfunctions, disconnect it from the
power source and contact your nearest authorized agent.
•With the increased number of electronic devices such as personal
computers and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices may be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. The
REVITIVE has passed the required tests for Electromagnetic
interference (EMI), it may still be affected by excessive emissions and/
or may interfere with more sensitive equipment.
•It has been reported that some universal remote control devices (eg for
TV etc) can change the settings on REVITIVE if used during a treatment.
If this should occur, simply adjust the time or intensity settings on
REVITIVE back to where you want them to be using the REVITIVE
Remote Control, or using the device Control Panel.
•After any exposure to hot or cold temperatures outside the specified
operating range of 10 – 40°C allow the product to re-adjust to the
recommended operating temperatures to ensure continued product
performance.
