• You are unsure about the suitability of the Revitive Circulation Booster 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

Do not use the Body Pads on your head, face, neck or chest

Do not apply foot-pads or Body 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)
• on reproductive organs

Electrode Body Pads are for single person use only. Do not share body pads with others

• Do not use Body Pads in conjunction with a brace or cast without first consulting with your doctor
• Do not use Body Pads after their use-by date
• There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath the Body Pad Electrodes or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation

Do not use the device:

• 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

Warnings - EMS only

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

Warnings - TENS only

When using TENS do not apply to areas of skin that lack sensation

Cautions

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/or use for a shorter time, to avoid overstimulation

When using EMS be careful when applying stimulation:

• Over the abdomen during menstruation
• After recent surgical procedures (within the last six 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 overstimulation
• After a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity and shorter time to avoid overstimulation or muscle fatigue. Look for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt, consult your doctor

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

The long term effects of electrical stimulation are unknown
Electrical stimulation may not work for every user, please seek advice from 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

• In the unlikely event yourRevitive Circulation Booster malfunctions, disconnect it from the power source and contact your nearest authorised agent
• With the increased number of electronic devices such as personal computers and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. While the REVITIVE Circulation Booster has passed the required tests for Electromagnetic
• Interference (EMI), it may still be affected by excessive emissions and/or may interfere with more sensitive equipment
• It has been reported that some universal remote control devices (e.g. for TV etc.) can change the settings on Revitive Circulation Booster if used during treatment. If this should occur, simply adjust the time or intensity settings on Revitive back to where you want them to be using the Revitive Remote
• Control, or using the device Control Panel
• After any exposure to hot or cold temperatures outside the specified operating range of 10 – 40°C allow the product to re-adjust to the recommended operating temperatures to ensure continued product performance

Do not apply foot-pads or Thigh (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 tumors

There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath the Thigh (Electrode) Pads or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
Ensure that balm/gel/moisturiser is evenly applied and thoroughly absorbed into the skin before applying stimulation. There is a chance that the uneven application of a balm/gel/moisturiser 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 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). 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/or use for a shorter time, to avoid
• overstimulation. Check for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt consult your doctor
• over the abdomen during menstruation
• after recent surgical procedures (within the last six 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 overstimulation or muscle fatigue. Look for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt, consult your doctor
