Important Safeguards
absorbed into the skin before applying stimulation. There is a chance that
uneven application of a moisturiser/gel/balm could increase the risk of
skin irritation or burn, when using the electrical stimulation.
•
Do not use the device:
•
In the presence of electronic monitoring equipment
•
Together with a life-supporting medical electronic device
•
When you are in the bath or shower
•
While you are sleeping.
Warnings - EMS only
•
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 - TENS only
• When using TENS do not apply to areas of skin that lack sensation.
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. Check for
signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt consult your doctor
•
When using EMS be careful when applying stimulation:
•
Over the abdomen during menstruation
•
After recent surgical procedures (within the past 6 months) 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
•
When using TENS:
•
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
•
TENS is not effective in treating the original source or cause of pain
•
The long term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown
•
Electrical stimulation may not work for every user, please seek advice from
your Doctor
