The Revitive Medic is a Drug-Free, Clinically Proven, Certified Medical Device designed to improve circulation and provide pain relief using Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) technologies. It is intended for home use by adults who may suffer from immobility, osteoarthritis of the knee, poor circulation, and related issues such as pain, leg stiffness, and swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet. It is also suitable for rehabilitation following knee surgery.

Function Description:

The Revitive Medic operates as a Circulation Booster® by delivering electrical stimulation to the muscles in the legs and feet. When using the SoftTouch foot-pads, the device aims to:

Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs, ankles, and feet caused by poor circulation (Peripheral Arterial Disease).
Improve circulation in the legs, particularly for those with Peripheral Arterial Disease.
Reduce or prevent blood-pooling (stasis) caused by chronic venous insufficiency/varicose veins.
Increase walking distance before the onset of claudication symptoms (pain) due to Peripheral Arterial Disease.
Improve symptoms associated with varicose veins/chronic venous insufficiency.
Help maintain leg vein health by increasing circulation, delivering more oxygenated blood, and reducing swelling (oedema) in the legs, feet, and ankles.

When using the electrode pads applied to the legs, Revitive is intended to:

Reduce pain and discomfort in the legs, ankles, and feet caused by Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, or swelling (oedema) due to osteoarthritis or following surgery.
Reduce swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet caused by being immobile due to osteoarthritis or an injury.
Improve circulation to reduce or prevent blood-pooling (stasis) caused by diabetes or by being immobile following surgery.
Increase muscle strength to help regain mobility in the legs affected by being immobile due to COPD, osteoarthritis, or following surgery.
Alleviate tired, aching, and heavy legs, including cramp, reduce swollen feet and ankles, help maintain leg vein health, strengthen leg muscles, and actively increase circulation for otherwise healthy individuals with a sedentary lifestyle or long periods of inactivity.

The TENS mode, available through the electrode pads, provides:

Temporary relief of musculoskeletal or neuropathic pain.
Relief of arthritis-associated pain.
Relief and management of chronic pain associated with musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, and fibromyalgia.
Relief of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain.

The device features OxyWave® Technology, which utilizes clinically proven and patented waveforms to deliver the stimulation. The IsoRocker® feature allows the device to rock up and down as muscle contractions occur, indicating sufficient intensity for therapy.

Usage Features:

Dual Power Options: Can be powered by an internal rechargeable battery or by connecting to an electrical socket via the supplied AC/DC power adapter. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours and provides about 3.5 hours of use.
Control Panel and Remote Control: The device features a control panel with a display and buttons for power, intensity control (+/-), and time control (+/-). A remote control is also included, replicating these functions for convenience.
Intensity Levels: Offers intensity levels from 1 to 99. Users are encouraged to find a level that provides strong but comfortable muscle contractions for EMS or a strong but comfortable tingling sensation for TENS.
Timer Settings: The default session time is 30 minutes, adjustable up to 60 minutes using the time control buttons.
Foot-pad Usage (EMS):
- Users sit with both bare feet on the SoftTouch foot-pads.
- Recommended for 30-60 minutes daily, 7 days a week.
- Requires adequate hydration and moisturized feet for optimal electrical stimulation delivery.
- The device will auto-pause if feet are removed from the foot-pads for more than 10 minutes, then automatically switch off.
Body Pad Usage (EMS and TENS):
- Electrode Body Pads are applied to specific areas of the legs, ankles, feet, back, shoulders, or elbows for targeted stimulation.
- The Body Pads cannot be used simultaneously with the foot-pads; plugging in the electrode cord automatically turns off the foot-pads.
- EMS mode for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation is recommended for 30 minutes per day, not exceeding 6 sessions of 30 minutes per day to avoid muscle fatigue.
- TENS mode for temporary pain relief is recommended for 20-30 minutes per session as needed.
- Switching between EMS and TENS modes resets the timer and intensity to zero.
Safety Features:
- Automatic shut-off after 10 minutes of being in a paused state.
- Warnings and cautions regarding contraindications (e.g., electronic implanted devices, pregnancy, DVT), skin irritation, and use with other medical equipment.
