Introduction to REVITIVE

INDICATIONS FOR USE

Using REVITIVE ARTHRITIS-KNEE is intended to:

• Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs – caused by swelling (oedema)

due to osteoarthritis or following surgery.

• Reduce swelling and stiffness in the legs – caused by being immobile due to osteoarthritis.

• Increase muscle strength to help regain mobility and stabilise knees affected by being immobile due to osteoarthritis or following surgery.

• Improve circulation to reduce or prevent blood-pooling (stasis) –

caused by being immobile following surgery.

• Help maintain leg vein and knee-joint health – by increasing circulation,

delivering more oxygenated-blood and reducing swelling (oedema) in the legs.

The above Indications for Use are certiﬁed under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC.

HOW REVITIVE ARTHRITIS-KNEE WORKS

With its unique DualAction REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee works in two ways:

1. Delivers Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to your feet via a

pair of cushioned foot-pads, while you are seated. The EMS causes muscles in your calf and foot to contract, which helps to increase circulation in your legs.

REVITIVE has been developed so that it is comfortable for you to use. It features a patented IsoRocker that allows for natural ankle movement when applying the EMS to your feet. Ankle movement is a key factor in increasing circulation in the lower legs. You can choose to enable or disable the IsoRocker at any time.

REVITIVE is designed to be easy to use and comes with a remote control, which means you do not have to reach down to adjust settings during use.

2. Delivers Electrical Muscle Stimulation to the front of the thighs/

quadriceps through the use of the Arthritis (Electrode) Pads - to strengthen the quadriceps. Strengthening your quadriceps muscles may help to:

• Support and stabilise the knee

• Reduce stress on the knee

• Relieve knee pain

To get the most out of REVITIVE, it is recommended that you use:

• REVITIVE foot-pads for 20-30 minutes each day.

• REVITIVE Arthritis Pads on the thigh of your affected leg (knee)

once a day for 20 minutes, 5 days per week.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

Warnings

WHO SHOULD NOT USE REVITIVE

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)

• 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 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, 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

• If your Arthritis symptoms worsen, or you have had knee surgery (within the

last six months), consult with your doctor before reusing REVITIVE

• Do not use the Arthritis (Electrode) Pads on your head, face, neck or chest

• Do not apply foot-pads or Arthritis (Electrode) Pads directly:

• 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)

• 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.

8

2910_IFU02_12517049.indd 8-9 22/07/2016 09:49

• on reproductive organs

• Arthritis (Electrode) Pads are for single person use only. Do not share Arthritis

Pads with others

• Do not use Arthritis (Electrode) Pads in conjunction with a brace or cast

without ﬁrst consulting with your doctor.

• Do not use Arthritis (Electrode) Pads after their use by date

9

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath

the stimulation electrodes or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation

• Symptoms may worsen during the initial treatment phase before getting

better. This may occur if the body has not yet 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

Cautions

• Be careful when applying stimulation:

• Over areas of skin that lack normal sensation (eg following injections around the knee) - be careful not to overstimulate the area.

• Over the abdomen during menstruation

• After recent surgical procedures (within the last six months) as stimulation may disrupt your healing process

• If you are likely to bleed internally, such as following an injury or fracture – use a low intensity and/or shorter time to avoid over- stimulation

Safety Precautions

• Do not stand on the machine. Use only when sitting down

• Use the device only for its intended purpose

• Do not expose the device to extreme heat

• Do not spill liquid on the device or its accessories

• Do not overload the electrical outlet

• Keep this device out of the reach of children

• REVITIVE may be used by multiple persons, ensure the device is

cleaned after each use

• Use REVITIVE only with the accessories supplied by, or purchased from,

the manufacturer

• Check body pads, cords and cables periodically for damage

• Do not open REVITIVE or repair it yourself. This will invalidate your

warranty and may cause serious harm

• In the unlikely event your REVITIVE malfunctions, disconnect it from the

power source and contact your nearest authorised agent

• REVITIVE has passed the required tests for EMI, it may still be affected

by excessive emissions and/or may interfere with more sensitive equipment

• After a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity and shorter time to avoid overstimulation or muscle fatigue

• 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

• It has been reported that some universal remote control devices

Instructions for use

STEP 5: USING THE ARTHRITIS PADS

Arthritis Pads are for single person use only.

REVITIVE comes with two pairs of reusable (up to 20-30 applications) Arthritis (Electrode) Pads that can be used to deliver Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to strengthen the muscles at the front of your thigh (quadriceps).

Strengthening your quadriceps muscles may help to support and stabilise the knee, reduce stress on the knee and relieve knee pain.

The Arthritis Pads cannot be used at the same time as the foot-pads. Using

the Arthritis Pads will automatically turn the foot-pads off.

It is recommended that the Arthritis Pads be used on the affected leg (knee) for 20 minutes, once a day, 5 days per week. Find a routine that works for you, perhaps using the Arthritis Pads Monday - Friday and not at the weekend.

Do not use REVITIVE more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per day. This may result in muscle fatigue.

d Plug the other end of the Arthritis Pad cord into

the opening on the side of REVITIVE.

e Remove the plastic liner from the Arthritis Pads, by

peeling it off carefully. Replace the Arthritis Pads onto the plastic liner after use.

f Gently press one Arthritis Pad across your thigh (1), a

few centimetres away from your groin area, with the adhesive side against the skin.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

REVITIVE is on (lights illuminated on the LED display) but I cannot feel the electrical stimulation through the foot-pads.

Not placing both bare feet on the foot-pads at the same time.

Your feet may be dry. Moisturise the soles of your feet

You may be dehydrated. Drink plenty of water before

The intensity level may be on too low a setting.

Arthritis Pad cord is connected to device.

If, having tried the solutions above, you still cannot feel the stimulation:

Ensure that your feet are bare and each foot is placed on each of the foot-pads at the same time. Keep increasing the intensity up to a maximum of 99 until you feel the stimulation.

to improve conductivity and stimulation and try the procedure again. You may also have to increase the intensity level.

and after using the device. The device uses your body to create the electrical circuit. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and if your body is less hydrated (below 60%) then the stimulation may be less, therefore it is important to always remain well hydrated.

This is a very safe device. Keep increasing the intensity level towards 99 until you feel the stimulation. You may ﬁnd that you have to increase the intensity level as you get used to the therapy. The aim is not to get to 99 but to ﬁnd a setting that is comfortable for you.

Disconnect the Arthritis Pad cord - the foot-pads will not work while the Arthritis Pad cord is plugged in.

Test the device by placing one hand across both foot-pads at the same time (The heel end of the foot-pads is easiest). With your other hand, and starting from zero, increase the intensity level until you can feel the stimulation. If you can feel the stimulation through your hand then the device is working. If on 99 you still cannot feel the stimulation then please contact your authorised dealer.

Problem Possible Cause Solution

socket and charge battery or run using mains power option.

The ISOROCKER will only rock when increased to an intensity which causes sufﬁcient calf muscle contraction. It may be that you cannot comfortably increase the intensity high enough until you get used to the sensation. It is important that intensity is adjusted to a level that is comfortable.

Sit with your knees at a 90 degree angle.

Ensure IsoRocker Disabler is “ﬂat”, in centre position (see page 14).

Leave adequate time after each treatment to allow the muscles to recover (just like after vigorous exercise!). On your next session start on a lower setting (where you can feel the mild electrical stimulation and it is comfortable) and reduce the duration until your muscles have acclimatized to the stimulation.

Adjust the positioning of the device or lower the intensity level to reduce the device tapping. Alternatively use a ﬂoor mat under the device to cushion the sound.
