Introduction to Revitive
Intended use:
Revitive is intended to be used for electrical stimulation of the muscles of the lower
leg for the purposes of supporting muscle function, and supporting and improving
blood circulation. In addition Revitive is intended to be used for electrical stimulation
of sore and aching muscles to relieve pain. Revitive is intended for home use for
30 minutes per treatment with a maximum of 3 hours treatment time per day as
required.
Indications for use
• To temporarily increase local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles.
• To stimulate healthy muscles in order to improve and facilitate
muscle performance
• For temporary relief of pain associated with sore and aching muscles in
the shoulder, waist, back, upper extremities (arms) and lower extremities
(legs) due to strain from exercise or normal household duties
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 has been developed so that it is comfortable for you to use.
Revitive can also deliver electrical stimulation to the knees, shoulders, back or arms,
by using the Revitive Electrode Body Pads (sold separately).

Important Safeguards
Read all instructions before use
Who should not use Revitive
Revitive should not be used by some people.
Contraindications, do not use if:
• You have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other
implanted electronic device because this may cause electric shock,
burns, electrical interference, or death
• You are pregnant
• You are 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 o 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 aected 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.

• If you have a metallic implant, you may experience pain or discomfort near the
implant when applying electrical stimulation, if this should occur discontinue use
and seek advice from your doctor
• The electrical stimulation may feel more intense close to a metallic implant. It
is safe to continue use provided no pain is experienced. You may need to adjust the
intensity to a comfortable level.
Warnings
Do not use the Body Pads on your head, face, neck or chest:
•There is a chance that serious health problems, and in rare cases death, may be
caused by using the Body Pads on your head, face, neck or chest
•There is a chance that using the Body Pads on your head, face or neck may cause
closure of the airway, diiculty in breathing, or adverse eects on heart rhythm or
blood pressure
•The introduction of electrical current into the chest may cause rhythm disturbances
to your heart, which could be lethal
•Application of the electrodes near the thorax (chest) may increase the risk of cardiac
fibrillation
•Use Body Pads only on parts of your body as directed in this guide.
Do not apply foot-pads or Body Pads directly on these areas:
•On open wounds or rashes, swollen, red, infected, or inflamed areas or skin eruptions
(such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, cellulitis)
•If the areas are cold and numb, turning red and then black, and/or beginning to
swell and produce foul-smelling pus with severe pain (gangrene)
•On or close to, malignant tumours
•On areas treated with radiotherapy (within the past 6 months)
•On reproductive organs
•Avoid areas that are pale, shiny, smooth and dry

Important Safeguards
Warnings
When applying foot-pads or body pads:
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, healthy skin, and avoid areas that are pale,
shiny, smooth and dry
• Electrode Body Pads are for single person use only. Do not share Body Pads with
others
• Do not use Body Pads aer their use by date. There is a chance you may experience
skin irritation or burns beneath the Body Pads
• Some people may experience skin irritation or hypersensitivity due to electrical
stimulation or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can usually be reduced by
using an alternative conductive medium (gel) or alternate electrode placement
• Ensure that balm/gel/moisturiser is evenly applied and thoroughly absorbed into the
skin before applying stimulation. There is a chance that uneven application of
a balm/ gel/ moisturiser could increase the risk of skin irritation or burn, when using
the electrical stimulation.
• Do not use when the body pads are open circuited (e.g., when the pads are held
in your hands).
• Do not remove electrodes when stimulation is being applied (to avoid unintended,
possibly hazardous, stimulation pathways.
• Begin at the lowest intensity setting. Place feet on the device and gradually
begin to increase the intensity. Never start at a high level of intensity.
• Keep feet on the device at all times, start at lowest intensity and slowly increase
the intensity. Do not remove feet during treatment or place feet on the device
aer the intensity has been increased.
• 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
Warnings
When not to use Revitive:
• There are times you should not use Revitive. Do not use Revitive:
• with electronic monitoring equipment (such as cardiac monitors, ECG
alarms), which may not operate properly when the electrical stimulation
device is in use
• when you are in the bath or shower
• while you are sleeping
• while you are driving, operating machinery, or during any activity in which
electrical stimulation can put you at risk of injury

Important Safeguards
Cautions
When applying stimulation:
• Be careful when applying stimulation:
•over areas of skin that lack normal sensation - be careful not to overstimulate the
area. Check for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt
consult your doctor
•over the abdomen during menstruation, or pregnant uterus
•aer recent surgical procedures as stimulation may disrupt your healing process
• if you are likely to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture
– use a low intensity and/or shorter time to avoid over-stimulation
•aer a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity and shorter
time to avoid over-stimulation or muscle fatigue
• 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
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
• It is possible Revitive may reduce the sensation of pain that would normally
act as a warning of an underlying problem
• If your pain does not improve, gets worse or continues for more than 5 days, stop
using the device and seek advice from your doctor
• The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
Cautions
Additional Cautions
• Electrical nerve stimulators are not a substitute for pain medications and other
pain management therapies
• Electrical nerve stimulators are not eective for pain of central origin, including
headache
• Electrical nerve stimulator devices have no curative value
• Electrical nerve stimulators are a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses
the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism
• Eectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner
qualified in the management of pain patients
• The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown
• Since the eects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be
applied across the head, and electrodes should not be applied on opposite sides of
the head
• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established
• Use caution following recent surgical procedures when stimulation may disrupt the
patient’s healing process
• Patients with suspected or diagnosed heart disease should follow precautions
recommended by their physicians
• Patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy should follow precautions
recommended by their physicians.

How do I get the most from Revitive?
For best results:
• Use Revitive foot-pads for at least 30 to 60 minutes each day, 7 days a week.
• It is important to use Revitive at a high enough intensity to give you a strong
comfortable muscle contraction. Most people achieve a strong muscle
contraction over intensity level 30 (intensity range 1-50).
• It can take up to 8 weeks to reduce symptoms.
Do not use Revitive for more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent)
per day.

USE DAILY
fPress the (+) Intensity Control one time to
start stimulation.
Press the (+) button to increase the level.
Press the (–) button to decrease the level.
gEnsure you familiarise yourself with the feeling of
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Use on a low
intensity for 30-60 minutes once per day for a few days.
Set the intensity at a level where you can feel the
stimulation in your feet and which creates a calf
contraction.
It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in
your calf muscles.
Revitive does not vibrate.
hAer a few days of familiarisation, use a higher intensity
that provides you with strong but comfortable calf
muscle contractions.
Most people experience a strong contraction at intensity
level 40 or over. You can set the intensity between
1-50.
Please note that the intensity required may vary from
day to day.
If you feel pain or discomfort:
• Remove one or both feet from the foot-pads to
stop the stimulation.
• Lower the intensity of the foot-pads using the
(–) Intensity level button on the control panel
before replacing your feet on Revitive.
