Circulation Booster Medic (1st Gen)

Hi, I have been using the Revitive Medic for a week and now have cramp in my upper right legs I would like to know if this is normal and if it will calm down on its own. I have visited my doctor and he thinks the use of the machine has caused this, but I am not sure. Can you please advise if I should stop using the machine?

Is it safe to use after hip replacement?

Hi Carol,
Thank you for your enquiry. We hope your recovery is going smoothly. There are a few things to consider before using REVITIVE post hip replacement:
...

Read more1. We recommend caution when applying stimulation after RECENT (within the past 6 months) surgical procedures because stimulation could sometimes disrupt the healing process. A discussion with your doctor is encouraged as he/she would know your medical condition eg. surgical procedure, healing progress, complications, etc, and be in the best position to advise if REVITIVE is suitable in your case. 2. A hip replacement would involve the insertion of metallic implants. REVITIVE’s electrical stimulation may feel more intense close to a metallic implant. It is safe to continue use provided no pain is experienced however, you may need to adjust the intensity to a comfortable level. If pain or discomfort is felt near the area of a metal implant we would request that you discontinue use and seek advice from your doctor. I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us if you require more information - 1800 505 108. Warm Regards, Actegy Health.

We recommend drinking plenty of water before and after using the device. In addition, if your feet are dry or cold you may need to use a higher intensity level to feel the same sensation. Well moisturised feet will increase conductivity which may increase the benefits of REVITIVE.

Dear Aly,
Thank you for writing in with your question.

Read moreREVITIVE uses EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) to contract and relax calf and feet muscles. This movement helps to improve blood circulation from the feet upwards for healthy individuals who have been inactive for prolonged periods; it may also help improve blood circulation in the legs of people who have been immobile following lower leg surgery. Our recommendation would be for you to discuss this with your doctor before purchasing or using REVITIVE Circulation Booster, because your medical condition is not covered within the specific intended purpose registered for this product.

Hi Janette,
Thank you for writing in with your question.

Read moreWe know for a fact that winter has been drying to the skin, with many calls from customers citing dry skin, due to the weather but not because of using REVITIVE. Try hydrating your skin with a moisturiser (any body lotion will do. You can also use the REVITIVE Leg Gel). Moisturise your legs and also the soles of your feet. Then drink a cup of water before using REVITIVE. This should help maximize the benefits from REVITIVE as well as keep your skin hydrated. Let us know if this helps you.

Hi K.L.,
From my reading, I understand that Spinal cord stimulation therapy consists of sending electrical impulses into the spinal cord, and connecting these electrodes to a pacemaker.
...

Read moreRevitive works by sending electrical stimulation to contract and relax the leg muscles. So while your pacemaker is not for the heart, there is concern that Revitive may interfere with the electronic pulses from your pacemaker. For this reason, we recommend consulting your doctor before using this device.
