Important Safeguards
Cautions
When applying stimulation:
• Be careful when applying stimulation:
• over areas of skin that lack normal sensation - be careful not to overstimulate the
area. Check for signs of skin irritation (redness), bruising or pain. If in doubt
consult your doctor
• over the abdomen during menstruation, or pregnant uterus
• aer recent surgical procedures 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
• aer a long period of immobility or inactivity – use a low intensity and shorter
time to avoid over-stimulation 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
• Use this device only with the leads, electrodes and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
• 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
• The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown.
Cautions
Additional Cautions
• Electrical nerve stimulators are not a substitute for pain medications and other
pain management therapies
• Electrical nerve stimulators are not eective for pain of central origin, including
headache
• Electrical nerve stimulator devices have no curative value
• Electrical nerve stimulators are a symptomatic treatment and, as such, suppresses
the sensation of pain that would otherwise serve as a protective mechanism
• Eectiveness is highly dependent upon patient selection by a practitioner
qualified in the management of pain patients
• The long-term eects of electrical stimulation are unknown
• Since the eects of stimulation of the brain are unknown, stimulation should not be
applied across the head, and electrodes should not be applied on opposite sides of
the head
• The safety of electrical stimulation during pregnancy has not been established
• Use caution following recent surgical procedures when stimulation may disrupt the
patient’s healing process
• Patients with suspected or diagnosed heart disease should follow precautions
recommended by their physicians
• Patients with suspected or diagnosed epilepsy should follow precautions
recommended by their physicians.
