Introduction to Revitive
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Indications for use
When using the foot-pads, Revitive is intended to:
•
Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs/ankles/feet - caused by poor circulation (Peripheral Arterial Disease).
•
Improve circulation in the legs - caused by Peripheral Arterial Disease.
•
Improve circulation to reduce or prevent blood-pooling (stasis) - caused by poor circulation (Chronic Venous
Insufficiency/varicose veins).
•
Increase walking distance before the onset of claudication symptoms (pain) – caused by Peripheral Arterial Disease.
•
Improve symptoms associated with varicose veins/ Chronic Venous Insufficiency.
•
Help maintain leg vein health - by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygenated-blood and reducing swelling
(oedema) in the legs, feet & ankles.
When using electrode pads, applied to the legs, Revitive is intended to:
•
Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs/ankles/feet - caused by Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, or swelling
(oedema) due to osteoarthritis or following surgery
•
Reduce swelling in the legs/ankles/feet - caused by being immobile due to osteoarthritis or an injury.
•
Improve circulation to reduce or prevent blood-pooling (stasis) - caused by diabetes or by being immobile following
surgery.
•
Increase muscle strength to help regain mobility in the legs affected by being immobile due to COPD, osteoarthritis
or following surgery.
If you are otherwise healthy and have a sedentary lifestyle or spend long periods inactive, Revitive may help to:
•
Alleviate tired, aching & heavy legs, including cramp
•
Reduce swollen feet & ankles
•
Help maintain leg vein health
•
Strengthen leg muscles
•
Actively increase circulation
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)

•
Temporary relief of pain of musculoskeletal or neuropathic origin
•
Relief of arthritis-associated pain
•
Relief and management of chronic pain, associated with musculoskeletal pain,
osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia

Important safeguards
Read all instructions before use.
Save these instructions.
Revitive should not be used by some people.
Do not use if (contraindications):
•
You are fitted with an electronic implanted device such as a heart pacemaker or Automatic Implantable Cardioverter
Defibrillator (AICD)
•
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 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.
