• Use Revitive foot-pads for at least 30 to 60 minutes each day, 7 days a week.
• It is important to use Revitive at a high enough intensity to give you a strong comfortable muscle contraction. Most people achieve a strong muscle contraction over intensity level 40 (intensity range 1-50).
• If you are diagnosed with a long term medical condition such as High Blood
Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Osteoarthritis, Chronic Venous
Insufficiency (CVI), Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), or COPD, it can take up to 8 weeks to help reduce symptoms associated with these chronic conditions.
Do not use Revitive, using EMS stimulation, for more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day.
a Remove all parts from the box:
• Power adaptor
• Revitive device
• Small electrode pads
• Electrode cord
See What is inside the Box? to help identify the parts.
b Locate the power adaptor.
Plug the small end of the power cord into the socket on the side of the
Revitive
c Plug the small end of the power Electrode cord into the opening on the side of the Revitive.
d Plug the power adaptor into the nearest electrical socket.
Before you use Revitive for the first time, read the Warnings and Cautions on pages 8-11. If in doubt, consult your doctor before using the product.
a It is important that you are hydrated. . We recommend that you apply a moisturiser to the soles of the feet to help hydrate the skin and improve the delivery of electrical stimulation.
Please use a water based moisturiser such as the Revitive foot and leg cream.
We also recommend drinking a glass of water before using Revitive
Hint: Applying a moisturising lotion to the soles of the feet before using Revitive can help improve the delivery of electrical stimulation.
b Get into a comfortable seated position. For best results sit with your knees at a 90 degree angle (right angle),
c Place Revitive on the floor in front of you. Revitive is designed to be used while seated. Never stand on the Revitive unit.
d Place both bare feet on the foot-pads. Make sure you remove all footwear, including socks/ stockings.
e Press the power button on the Revitive.
You will hear a beep and the display lights will light up. The time will read 30 minutes and Intensity will read 00.
To turn off the device at any time during operation, press the power button.
f Press the (+) Intensity Control one time to start stimulation.
Press the (+) button to increase the level.
Press the (–) button to decrease the level.
g Ensure you familiarise yourself with the feeling of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Use on a low intensity for 30-60 minutes once per day for a few days.
Set the intensity at a level where you can feel the stimulation in your feet and which creates a calf contraction. It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in your calf muscles.
Revitive does not vibrate.
h After a few days of familiarisation, use a higher intensity that provides you with strong but comfortable calf muscle contractions.
Most people experience a strong contraction at intensity level 40 or over. You can set the intensity between 1-50.
Please note that the intensity required may vary from day to day.
If you feel pain or discomfort:
• Remove one or both feet from the foot-pads to stop the stimulation.
• Lower the intensity of the foot-pads using the (–) Intensity level button on the control panel before replacing your feet on Revitive.
i The Time Display will start to count down in minutes as Revitive cycles through its program.
j When Revitive times out, the Time Display reads 00 and you will hear three beeps.
k The Revitive switches itself off automatically.
Electrode pads are for single person use only. Do not share electrode pads with others.
Revitive comes with one pair of reusable (up to 20-30 applications) electrode pads that can be used to deliver electrical stimulation.
The electrode pads cannot be used at the same time as the foot-pads.
Using the electrode pads will automatically turn the foot-pads off.
Use Revitive electrode pads in EMS mode as and when required, from 30 minutes per day.
Do not use Revitive in EMS mode for more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day. This may result in muscle fatigue.
a Select the area you wish to apply electrical stimulation to.
Do NOT use the electrode pads on your head, face, neck or chest
b Clean and dry the area where you will place the electrode pads.
c Make sure Revitive is switched off. If the control panel is still illuminated, press the power button and turn Revitive off.
d Attach the ends of the electrode pad to the electrode cord.
Press connectors until there is no gap between them. Leaving a gap may cause discomfort.
e Plug the other end of the Electrode Cord into the opening on the side of Revitive.
Plugging in the Electrode Cord will automatically turn the foot-pads off.
f Remove the plastic liner from the electrode pads, by peeling it off carefully. Replace the electrode pads onto the plastic liner after use.
g Press the electrode pads on the area you wish to apply electrical stimulation to, as shown on page 14, gently pressing the adhesive side against the skin.
h Press the power button on the Revitive. You will hear a beep and the display lights will read 30 minutes.
To turn off the device at any time during operation, press the power button.
i Press the (+) Intensity Control, one time, to start stimulation.
Press the (+) button to increase the level.
Press the (–) button to decrease the level.
j Ensure you familiarise yourself with the feeling of Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS).
Use on a low intensity for 30 minutes once per day for a few days.
Set the intensity at a level you can feel the stimulation or see your muscles twitch.
It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in your muscles you are treating.
k After a few days of familiarisation, use a higher intensity that provides you with strong but comfortable muscle contractions.
You can set the intensity between 1-50.
Please note that the intensity required may vary from day to day.
If you feel pain or discomfort:
• Lower the intensity of the electrode pads using the (–) Intensity Control.
• You can also choose to stop therapy before the end of the 30 minute session to avoid skin irritation. You can do this by pressing the power button.
l The Time display will start to count down in minutes as Revitive cycles through its program.
m When Revitive times out, the Time display reads 00 and you will hear three beeps, and the device will switch itself off automatically.
n Ensuring that the device has switched itself off, then gently peel the electrode pads from the skin.
Do not pull the electrode pads off the skin using the Electrode cords as this may damage the cords.
o Replace the electrode pads Pads onto its plastic liner after use.
p Unplug the Electrode cord from the opening on the device. You do not need to detach the electrode pads from the Electrode cord.
a Ensure Revitive is switched off.
b Wipe down the foot-pads with a soft damp cloth.
Do not clean with chemicals.
Do not immerse Revitive in water.
c Store Revitive in a cool, dry and dust-free location.
Store out of direct sunlight.

e Store the electrode pads in a dry and ventilated location.
Store out of direct sunlight.
You do not have to detach the electrode pads from the Electrode cords to store them.
The electrode pads are reusable up to 20-30 applications. If the electrode ads start to lose their adhesiveness, rub a few drops of water into the surface. Replacement electrode pads can be obtained via www.revitive.com.
