Hi Jane S,

Cold feet can be a symptom of poor blood circulation and with the blocked arteries it is likely that her circulation is impacting the lower legs and feet. Given that she has a pre-existing medical condition we would recommend that she has a chat to her doctor to make sure that it is suitable with her current condition and in light of any medication or treatments she may be receiving.

If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to have a chat to our Customer Service Team on 07 5443 9767

Hi Karall,

Great question. Both devices deliver Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) via the foot pads. As you've mentioned the Medic Plus also offers a TENS via the electrode body pads.

The Osteoarthritis-Knee model does not have the TENS option, however it does have a specific Arthritis mode. This is a special waveform that is designed to activate the quadriceps muscles via the larger thigh pads. This mode helps to strengthen thigh muscles that support the knee, which may reduce aches, pains and swelling associated with knee osteoarthritis.

If your knees are the main area of concern for you, this may be a good option. At this stage I am not aware of any upcoming releases that combine the two models into one.

Our Customer Service team would be more than happy to talk through the options and help you decide the right device for your needs. They can be reached on 07 5443 9767.

Hi John,

There is a chance that electrical stimulation may feel more intense close to a metallic implant. It is safe to continue use provided no pain is experienced. We recommend that you adjust the intensity to a level that is comfortable. If pain is experienced you should discontinue use.

If we can offer more information on this, please don't hesitate to contact us on 07 5443 9767

Hi Mum M,

Your suspicion is correct. Hydration is absolutely an important factor for the intensity of the sensation that you experience. It is often the reason for noticing a differing intensity from day to day.

We find users report feeling a lower sensation as we head into the cooler / drier months when our skin becomes dry and we drink a little less water. Increasing your intake of water and hydrating the skin can certainly help keep the intensity stronger.

If you feel the variance is significant and are keeping well hydrated, please give our Customer Service team a call so we can discuss further. They can be reached on 07 5443 9767

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for checking. A stent is not a contraindication as such, however we do recommend that anyone with a pre-existing condition (particularly a heart condition) check with their doctor before they use Revitive.

Hi Graham E.

Thanks for reaching out. When this happens it is often an issue with the power cord. Do you have a Revitive stockist close by (or the store you purchased from)? This might be Harvey Norman, The Good Guys or Shaver Shop? If so, you can take your device in and ask them to check it with one of their power adaptors to be sure.

If you have confirmation, you can either purchase a new power cord via our website or if the device is under warranty, you can call our Customer Service team for a replacement.

If testing it is not an option, please give our Customer Service team a call and they can try to work out the issue over the phone and come up with a plan to get you back up and running. Their number is 07 5443 9767

Hi Angie R.

There is no right or wrong answer to this one - it comes down to what works best for you. We do have some people say that their legs feel better after a session on their Revitive and are then more able to go about their day. Others prefer to have a session at night while watching TV. It comes down to what works best for you.

Hope this helps - if you'd like to discuss, please feel free to call our helpful Customer Service team - they'd be happy to chat to you further. 07 5443 9767

Hi Adella,

Provided that the child has no underlying medical conditions, they can communicate effectively and that you have checked the contraindications for use (link below), it is safe for use. It is important that the child is supervised by their parent or carer.

We would strongly recommend that the stimulation is kept low and remains very comfortable for the user.

Hi Toni,

This is a good question and one we get quite a bit. It is not at all uncommon to experience a stronger sensation in one foot and less in the other. We recommend that you use a setting that is strong but comfortable for the more sensitive side. The less sensitive side is still receiving the benefit of the EMS.

With regards to the arthritis pads, are you feeling the sensation? If the sensation feels strong (again, it must be comfortable - no pain) then you will be working the muscles. If the sensation is quite weak - you may need to increase a little. Remember that in arthritis mode, the EMS runs for 10 seconds then there is a long pause before the next wave begins.

If we can give more info, please feel free to give us a call. We can work with you while you are using the device to make sure you are getting the most out of it. We can also answer any questions you may have. Our team can be reached on 07 5443 9767

Hi Margaret S.

We would need to refer this question to your Doctor. While it is not a specific contraindication we recommend that anyone with a pre-existing or ongoing underlying medical condition seek advise from their treating physician. Your doctor will be in a better position to advise with a full picture of your current condition, state of recovery and current treatments (such as your medication).

If you find that the device is not suitable for your condition, please be in touch so we can assist you with a return under our 60 Day money back trial.

To discuss further please feel free to call our customer service team - 07 5443 9767.

Hi Yunus A.

Thank you for checking. We would recommend that you have a talk to your doctor before you consider use. A stroke is a serious medical condition so it is best to get professional advice. Your doctor will consider how long ago the stroke was, if you are on any medication or have any underlying medical conditions that may be a factor.

There are a few people who should not use Revitive - you can check these here:https://www.revitive.com.au/can-i-use/

If you need any more information please feel free to call our Customer Service team - 07 5443 9767

Hi william m.

It is not necessary that you use moisturiser however we do find that it can help to improve the stimulation that you experience from your Revitive. This is particularly true at the moment - as we head into the cooler months our skin tends to get dry - this can result in a lower stimulation felt. Drinking water can also help.

If you find that you are already well hydrated and you are not seeing a reduction in the sensation you are getting from your Revitive then you may not need to worry.

Please be sure to give us a call to discuss if you would like more information on hydration with regards to your Revitive. Our Customer Service team can be contacted on 07 5443 9767

Hi steve s.

Revitive uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to contract and relax your muscles, which may increase the blood flow in your legs and feet. The sensation of EMS is quite different to vibration - it is more commonly likened to a tingling sensation.

Given that the lights are coming on, it is receiving power. When the device is on, you need to place both bare feet on the foot pads (you need to have both feet on to create the circuit). Then slowly increase the intensity setting until you feel the sensation in your feet and legs. As you get used to the sensation you can gradually increase the intensity until you get strong but comfortable leg muscle contractions.

If you try this and feel it is still not working correctly, please give our customer service team a call to discuss - 07 5443 9767 - they can run through some trouble shooting and if there is an issue, they can organise any necessary steps.

Warm Regards.

Hi Anita,

Revitive is not indicated to assist with this condition specifically. As for the suitability to use Revitive with Moreton Nueroma, we would need to refer this question to your doctor. We do recommend that anyone with a pre-existing medical condition check in with their doctor before use.

If we can be of any further assistance, you are welcome to call our Customer Service team on 07 5443 9767

Warm Regards,

Hi Franc,

A stent itself is not a contraindication, however we do recommend that anyone with a pre-existing medical condition - in particular a history of heart conditions, should check in with their doctor before considering Revitive. Your doctor will be in the best position to advise if the product is right for you - with a full view of your current condition and any relevant medical history.

If we can offer any further information, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team on 07 5443 9767.

Hi George,

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a contraindication - Revitive should not be used by anyone with (or experiencing symptoms of) DVT.

Please feel free to touch base with our Customer Service team if we can be of further assistance with this (07 5443 9767)

Warm Regards,

Hi June,

The Revitive Osteoarthritis-Knee model has larger thigh pads that are designed to deliver electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to the quadriceps muscles which may help to strengthen thigh muscles that support the knee. This extra support may reduce aches, pains and swelling associated with knee osteoarthritis.

The foot pads also use EMS to stimulate the muscles in your calf and food to contract and relax - this can assist to increase circulation in the lower legs.

If we can offer more information, please feel free to give our Customer Service team a call on 07 5443 9767.

Warm Regards,
Actegy Health - AUSTRALIA.

Hi Peter,
Thank you for your question.

Clinical trials on Revitive have focused on the effects of Electrical Muscle Stimulation from Revitive devices on fresh blood flow and the symptoms caused by an inactive lifestyle or certain medical conditions like knee osteoarthritis. From our clinical tests, we can say that daily use of Revitive may help reduce swollen feet and ankles in people, or relieve aches and discomfort in the knees after a knee surgery. These are two examples of the registered indications for Revitive on the TGA register.

We cannot provide information on the equivalent distance on a normal walk to a 30-minute session on intensity 80 because our research has not been in this area. Revitive should also not be used to replace physical activity. It complements a person's lifestyle by helping to improve blood circulation and swelling so that they can continue doing the things they love like walking or gardening.

There is available on the internet other research on the effects of EMS to the cardiovascular system and metabolism in humans. However, as these are not research which Revitive has undertaken.

I hope you find the answer to your question, as it is quite an interesting one.

With best wishes,
Actegy Health AU

Hi Stephen S,

We would need to refer this question to her doctor. We ask any user with a pre-existing condition (especially heart conditions) to ensure that their doctor has cleared them for use. They will have the best picture of her current condition and treatments.

If the cardiac monitor operates via electronic impulses it is possible that Revitive may not be suitable as it uses electronic muscle stimulation, but it is best to check with a medical professional.

If we can be of any further assistance, please don't hesitate to call 07 5443 9767.

Warm Regards
