Important safeguards
Warnings
Consult with your doctor before using this device if:
•
You are in the care of a doctor
•
You have a history of heart problems
•
You have had medical or physical treatment for your pain
•
You have suspected or diagnosed heart disease
•
You have suspected or diagnosed epilepsy
•
You are unsure about the suitability of the device for you
•
You are unsure about the cause of your 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
When applying foot-pads or electrode body pads:
•
Do not use the electrode pads on your head, face, neck or chest
•
Application of the electrodes near the thorax (chest) may increase the risk of cardiac fibrillation
•
Only apply to areas with intact/unbroken skin
•
Do not apply foot-pads or electrode pads directly or adjacent to these areas:
•
on cut or broken skin, open wounds or rashes; swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas; or skin eruptions (such
as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, cellulitis). Check under your feet and toes before using the device
•
on, or close to, malignant tumours
•
on areas treated with radiotherapy (within the past 6 months)
•
on reproductive organs
•
on opposing thighs and refer to pad placement diagrams in this User's Manual for correct placement
•
over the carotid sinus nerves (front of the neck), particularly in patients with a known sensitivity to the carotid
sinus reflex
•
When using TENS do not apply to areas of skin that lack sensation
•
Electrode pads are for single person use only. Do not share Body Pads with others
•
Do not use electrode pads after their use-by date
•
There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath the electrodes or hypersensitivity due to the
electrical stimulation
•
Ensure that any moisturiser/gel/balm is evenly applied and thoroughly 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
•
Symptoms may worsen during the initial treatment phase before getting better. This may occur if the body has not
fully 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
When not to use Revitive:
•
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
•
In conjunction with a brace or cast without first consulting with your doctor

Warnings
When not to use Revitive:
•
Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be 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
Additional Warnings:
•
Use of accessories and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could
result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result
in improper operation.
•
Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas)
should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the Revitive System, including cables specified by the
manufacturer
Cautions
When applying foot-pads or electrode body pads:
•
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 over-stimulation. Check for signs of skin irritation (redness),
bruising or pain. If in doubt consult your doctor
•
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
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 over-stimulation or
muscle fatigue
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
Additional Cautions:
•
The long term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown
•
Electrical stimulation may not work for every user, please seek advice from your doctor
