Introduction to Revitive
Indications for use
When using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (NMES),
Revitive is intended:
• To temporarily increase local blood circulation in healthy leg muscles
• For relaxation of muscle spasm
• Increase of blood flow circulation
• Immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis
• For users with conditions or diseases that are associated with impaired
(poor) blood flow in the legs/ankles/feet, NMES though the foot-pads is intended
for use as an adjunctive treatment (as an addition to your existing treatment) to
temporarily reduce lower extremity pain, swelling and cramping.

Introduction to Revitive
Introduction to Revitive
How Revitive works
Revitive delivers Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to your feet via a pair of cushioned
foot-pads, while you are seated. The EMS causes muscles in your calf and foot to contract,
which helps to support muscle function, increase circulation and relieve pain in your
lower legs during use.
Revitive has been developed so that it is comfortable for you to use. It features an
IsoRocker that allows for natural ankle movement when applying the EMS 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 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 is for home use for 30-60 minutes per day. It is advised not to use for more than 6
sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day.

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):
• 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
• If your pain syndromes are undiagnosed
• 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 aected 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:
• 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

11
Warnings
Do not apply foot-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 tumors
•On areas treated with radiotherapy (within the past 6 months)
•On reproductive organs
•Avoid areas that are pale, shiny, smooth and dry
• near the thorax (chest) may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation
• on your head, face, neck or chest
When applying foot-pads
• Apply stimulation only to normal, intact, healthy skin, and avoid areas that are pale,
shiny, smooth and dry
• Ensure that balm/gel/moisturizer is evenly applied and thoroughly absorbed into the
skin before applying stimulation. There is a chance that uneven application of
a balm/ gel/ moisturizer could increase the risk of skin irritation or burn, when using
the electrical stimulation
• 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
aer 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

12
Important safeguards
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

avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary,
this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they
are operating normally

13
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
•aer 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
•aer 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 and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer
When using EMS:
• 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 eects of electrical stimulation are unknown

14
Important safeguards
Cautions
Additional Cautions
• Electrical nerve stimulator’s are not a substitute for pain medications and other
pain management therapies
• Electrical nerve stimulator devices have no curative value
• Electrical nerve stimulator’s are a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses
the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism
• Eectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner
qualified in the management of pain patients
• The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown
• 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

18
Instructions for use
Step 2: Using the SoftTouch foot-pads
aIt is important that you are well hydrated. We recommend that you apply a
moisturizer to the soles of the feet to help hydrate the skin and improve the delivery
of electrical stimulation.
We also recommend drinking a glass of water before using Revitive.
For best results:
• Use Revitive foot-pads for at least 30 to 60 minutes each day, 7 days a week.
For users with conditions or diseases associated with poor circulation we
suggest using Revitive foot-pads for 60 minutes per day.
• 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 40 (intensity range 1-99).
• If you are diagnosed with a long term medical condition such as Diabetes,
Osteoarthritis or a disease or condition associated with poor circulation (such
as, for example, diagnosed with varicose veins, or Peripheral Arterial Disease),
it can take up to 8 weeks to help reduce symptoms associated with poor
circulation.
Do not use Revitive, using EMS stimulation, for more than 6 sessions of
30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day. Seek medical diagnoses from your
doctor if you have leg symptoms combined with high blood pressure,
high cholesterol, diabetes or smoking.

Instructions for use
gEnsure you familiarize yourself with the feeling of the electrical muscle stimulation.
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 which
creates a calf muscle contraction.
It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in your feet and calf muscles.
Revitive does not vibrate.
hAer a few days of familiarization, 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.
The IsoRocker® enables Revitive to rock up and down once muscle contractions are
nearing the desired level. The rocking is caused by muscle contractions in the leg,
and the resulting ankle movement allowed by the IsoRocker is a good indicator
that the intensity level is suicient to provide the therapy. Increasing the intensity
above this level will enhance the therapy, but should not be allowed to become
uncomfortable.
You can set the intensity between 1-99.
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 Control on
the control panel, or remote control, before replacing your feet on Revitive
