How REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee Works
With its unique TripleAction REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee works in three 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 at least 30-60 minutes each day.
REVITIVE Arthritis Pads on the thigh of your aected leg (knee) once a day for
20 minutes, 5 days per week.
3. Delivers Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) through
the smaller Body (Electrode) Pads - to provide immediate, temporary relief
of pain for your legs and other areas of your body. Use as and when you need
relief.
Visit www.revitive.com for more information
Introduction to REVITIVE
In addition, if you have a sedentary lifestyle or spend long periods inactive, REVITIVE
may help to:
Reduce foot & leg discomfort
Reduce swollen feet & ankles
Relieve leg cramps

Important Safeguards
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 the 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 Electrode Pads on your head, face, neck or chest
• Do not apply foot-pads or 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)
on reproductive organs
Electrode pads are for single person use only. Do not share with others
• Do not use the Arthritis Pads in conjunction with a brace or cast without first
consulting with your doctor
• Do not use Electrode Pads aer their use by date
There is a chance you may experience skin irritation or burns beneath
the Electrodes Pads or hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
Ensure that moisturiser/gel/balm is evenly applied and thoroughly
Read all instructions before use
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 o 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 aected 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.

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.
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. Check for
signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt consult your doctor
When using EMS be careful when applying stimulation:
Over the abdomen during menstruation
Aer recent surgical procedures (within the past 6 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 aer sustaining the injury. Use a low intensity and/or shorter
time to avoid over-stimulation
Aer 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 eective in treating the original source or cause of pain
The long term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown
Electrical stimulation may not work for every user, please seek advice from
your Doctor

f Set the time for REVITIVE. The default time is 30
minutes. You can set the timer for up to 60 minutes. If
you do not want to use the default time of 30 minutes,
set the time for the number of minutes you want.
You can use the controls on the control panel or on the
remote control.
Press the (+) Time Control to increase the time.
Press the (–) Time Control to decrease the time.
g Press the (+) Intensity Control one time to
start stimulation.
You can use the buttons on the control panel or
remote control.
Press the (+) button to increase the level.
Press the (–) button to decrease the level.
h 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.
For best results use REVITIVE foot-pads for at least 30 to 60 minutes each day,
seven 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 1-99).
If you are diagnosed with a long term medical condition such as High Blood
Pressure, High Cholesterol, Diabetes, Osteoarthrtis, Chronic Venous Insuiciency
(CVI), Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), or COPD, we recommend a minimum of
two (2) x 30 minute sessions per day. It can take up to 12 weeks to help reduce
symptoms associated with these chronic conditions.
Do not use REVITIVE more than 6 sessions of 30 minutes (or the equivalent) per
day. This may result in muscle fatigue.
Instructions for use
Set the intensity at a level where you can feel the stimulation in your
feet which creates a calf contraction. This will likely be less than
intensity 40.
It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in your feet and
calf muscles.
REVITIVE does not vibrate.
i Aer 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 1-99.
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
Control on the control panel, or remote control, before replacing
your feet on REVITIVE
j The Time Display will start to count down in minutes as REVITIVE
cycles through its program.
k When REVITIVE times out, the Time Display reads 00 and you will
hear three beeps.
l The REVITIVE switches itself o automatically.

Step 5:
Using the Electrode Pads
Electrode Body and Arthritis Pads are for single person use only. Do not share
with others.
REVITIVE comes with one pair of reusable (up to 20-30 applications) Arthritis 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.
REVITIVE also comes with one pair of smaller reusable (up to 20-30 applications) Body
Pads that can be used to deliver Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS)
to other parts of the body.
TENS provides stimulation of your nerves, which blocks the pain you experience in
a particular area of your body. TENS can be used to provide pain relief to the areas
shown on page 29. For instructions on how to use TENS, go to page 29.
Before using the Body Pads, select the area you wish to apply stimulation to and
which stimulation mode you would like to use.
The positioning of the Electrode Pads will depend on which stimulation mode (EMS
or TENS) you choose. The Electrode Pads cannot be used at the same time as the
foot-pads. Using the Electrode Pads will automatically turn the foot-pads o.
Step 5.1:
Using the Large Arthritis Pads for Electrical Muscle Stimulation
(EMS)
a Clean and dry the thigh where you will place the Arthritis Pads (see next page for
positioning instructions).
b Make sure REVITIVE is switched o. If the control panel
is still illuminated, press the power button and turn
REVITIVE o.
c Attach the ends of the Arthritis Pads to the Electrode
cord.
Press connectors until there is no gap
between them.
Leaving a gap may cause discomfort.
d Plug the other end of the Electrode cord into
the opening on the side of REVITIVE.
It is recommended that the Arthritis Pads be used on the aected 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.

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.
g Gently press second Arthritis Pad across your thigh
(2), a few centimetres from the top of your kneecap,
with the adhesive side against the skin.
The Arthritis Pads do not need to be lined up exactly
with each other. They need to be in a position that is
comfortable and that allows you to see your thigh
muscles contract & relax.
REVITIVE Arthritis Pads are designed to be used
whilst seated.

j Press the (+) Intensity Control, one time, to start
stimulation.
You can use the buttons on the device or remote control.
Press the (+) button to increase the level.
Press the (–) button to decrease the level.
k Ensure you familiarise yourself with the feeling of
Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS). Use on a low
intensity for 20 minutes once per day for a few days.
Set the intensity at a level where you can feel the
stimulation in your feet which creates a calf contraction.
This will likely be less than intensity 40.
It is normal to feel tingling or varying sensations in
your muscles you are treating.
l Aer a few days of familiarisation, use a higher intensity
that provides you with strong but comfortable muscle
contractions.
Most people experience a strong contraction at intensity
level 40 or over. You can set the intensity between 1-99.
Adjusting the intensity level - At the start of therapy there will be 30 seconds of
stimulation to help you set the right intensity level. This is followed by a rest period of
30 seconds, when you will feel no stimulation.
For the remainder of the therapy session you will feel 10 seconds of stimulation,
followed by a 20 second rest period which repeats until the end of therapy.
Adjust the intensity when you can feel the stimulation being applied to your thigh.
It is not possible to adjust the intensity during the rest period.
Please note that the intensity required may vary from day
to day.
m The time control/display will start to count down in
minutes as REVITIVE cycles through its program.
n When REVITIVE times out, the time display reads 00 and
you will hear three beeps.

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.
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.
Your feet may be dry. Moisturise the soles of your feet
to improve conductivity and
stimulation and try the procedure
again. You may also have to
increase the intensity level.
You may be dehydrated. Drink plenty of water before
and aer 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.
The intensity level may be on
too low a setting.
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.
Electrode cord is connected to
device.
Disconnect the Electrode cord - the
foot-pads will not work while the
Electrode cord is plugged in.
If, having tried the solutions
above, you still cannot feel the
stimulation:
Test the device by placing one hand
across both footpads at the same
time (The heel end of the footpads
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
No power or lights to
REVITIVE when it is
switched on.
AC Adaptor not switched on at the
electrical socket or AC Adaptor not
plugged into device properly.
Check electrical socket power
is switched on and the AC Adaptor
is plugged into the device correctly.
If still not working – contact your
authorised dealer.
Flat battery Plug device in an electrical socket
and charge battery or run using
mains power option.
REVITIVE is not
vibrating.
REVITIVE IS NOT DESIGNED TO VIBRATE.
The IsoRocker® is not
"rocking".
It is the muscles in your legs that
cause the "rocking", the IsoRocker®
is not mechanical.
The IsoRocker® will only rock
when increased to an intensity
which causes suicient 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.
The device is too far in front
of you.
Sit with your knees at a 90 degree
angle.
The IsoRocker® system is not
enabled.
Ensure IsoRocker® Disabler is “flat”,
in centre position (see page 16).
My legs are aching
aer treatment.
You may have the
intensity on
too high a setting and your muscles
are being overworked.
Leave adequate time aer each
treatment to allow the muscles
to recover (just like aer 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.
When using the
IsoRocker® on a
hard floor it makes a
tapping noise.
Incorrect positioning of the device
or too high an intensity level.
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.

Problem Possible Cause Solution
I have placed my feet
on the device but am
unable to see the TENS
symbol on the display.
TENS is only available through
the Body Pads. The foot-pads
provide EMS only.
When using the Body
Pads, the stimulation
feels uncomfortable.
The level of stimulation you are
using may be too high.
Decrease the stimulation level
using the (-) intensity control on
the device or remote control.
I am unsure of which
therapy mode I am
using when using the
Body Pads.
Look at the display on the device. If
the Body Pads are in EMS mode,
you will see the EMS symbol. If
the Body Pads are in TENS mode,
you will see the TENS symbol.
I suddenly can’t feel
stimulation when using
the Body Pads.
You may have pressed the other
stimulation mode button by
accident.
Pressing the opposite stimula-
tion mode button (i.e. pressing
the TENS button when already in
EMS mode or vice versa), will reset
the timer back to 30 minutes. The
intensity will also be reset to zero.
When using the
Arthritis Pads, my
thigh muscles are
aching before the end
of the treatment.
Your muscles may not yet be
strong enough to carry out a full
20 minute session.
Turn the device o and end the ses-
sion before the end of the 20 min-
utes. 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
acclimatised to the stimulation.
When using the
Arthritis Pads, I can’t
feel the stimulation in
my thigh.
Therapy has started and has
reached the rest period.
You will need to wait for up to 20
seconds before the stimulation will
start again.
