Instructions for use
Step 5:
Using the Electrode Pads
Electrode Body and Arthritis Pads are for single person use only. Do not share
with others.
REVITIVE comes with one pair of reusable (up to 20-30 applications) Arthritis Pads that
can be used to deliver Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to strengthen the muscles
at the front of your thigh (quadriceps).
Strengthening your quadriceps muscles may help to support and stabilise the knee,
reduce stress on the knee and relieve knee pain.
REVITIVE also comes with one pair of smaller reusable (up to 20-30 applications) Body
Pads that can be used to deliver Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
to other parts of the body.
TENS provides stimulation of your nerves, which blocks the pain you experience in
a particular area of your body. TENS can be used to provide pain relief to the areas
shown on page 29. For instructions on how to use TENS, go to page 29.
Before using the Body Pads, select the area you wish to apply stimulation to and
which stimulation mode you would like to use.
The positioning of the Electrode Pads will depend on which stimulation mode (EMS
or TENS) you choose. The Electrode Pads cannot be used at the same time as the
foot-pads. Using the Electrode Pads will automatically turn the foot-pads off.

Step 5.1:
Using the Large Arthritis Pads for Electrical Muscle Stimulation
(EMS)
It is recommended that the Arthritis Pads be used on the affected leg (knee) for
20 minutes, once a day, 5 days per week. Find a routine that works for you,
perhaps using the Arthritis Pads Monday - Friday and not at the weekend.
Do not use REVITIVE more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day.
This may result in muscle fatigue.
a Clean and dry the thigh where you will place the Arthritis Pads (see next page for
positioning instructions).
b Make sure REVITIVE is switched off. If the control panel
is still illuminated, press the power button and turn
REVITIVE off.
c Attach the ends of the Arthritis Pads to the Electrode
cord.
Press connectors until there is no gap
between them.
Leaving a gap may cause discomfort.
d Plug the other end of the Electrode cord into
the opening on the side of REVITIVE.
