Can I use Revitive?

• 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”)

Consult your doctor before using the device if:

• you are under medical treatment
• you have had or are having heart problems
• you are suspected or have been diagnosed with epilepsy
• you are not sure whether Revitive is right for you
• You are not sure where your symptoms come from

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 the head, face, neck or chest area.
• Do not attach the foot pads and electrode pads directly:
• 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

• 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 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/oruse 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
