Important safeguards
Warnings
When applying foot-pads or electrode Body/Thigh Pads:
• There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath the electrode
pads 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:
• There are times you should not use Revitive. Do not use Revitive:
•
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
• 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
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 Revitive 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/Thigh 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
• Do
not apply foot-pads or electrode pads directly on these areas:
• on open wounds or rashes; swollen, red, infected or inflamed areas; or skin
eruptions (such as phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, cellulitis)
• 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
• When using TENS do
not apply to areas of skin that lack sensation.
• Electrode pads are for single person use only. Do
not share electrode pads with
others
• Do
not use electrode pads after their use-by date
