Introduction to Revitive
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.
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
Indications for use continued
When using electrode pads, applied to the legs, Revitive is
intended to:
• 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) Indications for use
When using electrode pads, Revitive is intended to provide:
• 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
• Relief of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain
The above Indications for Use are certified under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC.
