Fitting & Securing the Garment

Throughout your rehabilitation after knee surgery, you will apply the garment for your daily muscle activation sessions to comfortably and conveniently strengthen your thigh muscles. To provide a comfortable and effective experience, you should ensure a proper and secure fit of the garment, as described.

Tighten the Garment flaps on the outside of your leg, beginning with the flap just above your knee. Pull flaps tight and firmly attach to the Garment panel. Continue securing the flaps. The Garment should be snug and secure against your leg. Readjust as necessary.

Charging the Controller

When fully charged, the controller can deliver at least three 20-minute treatments. The percentage of battery remaining for the e-vive controller is displayed on your e-vive app, you will receive an alert when the remaining battery is less than 10% and you may not be able to complete a full treatment until the e-vive controller is re-charged.

The e-vive Controller is designed such that it will not operate when charging.

To charge the controller, attach the supplied universal USB charging cord to a standard wall adapter charger. Plug the small end of the USB cable into the side of the e-vive controller.

Cleaning e-vive

Cleaning the Garment

  • For hygienic reasons, the Garment wrap is intended for use by a single individual.
  • DO NOT hand wash, machine wash, dry clean or sterilize the Garment, as there are electronics integrated into the Garment that can be damaged by improper cleaning.
  • If the Garment requires cleaning, gently wipe the wrap with a damp and soft cloth.

Cleaning the Control Unit

  • Treat the Controller similar to most electronic devices – keep away from liquids and dirt.
  • If the Controller requires cleaning, gently clean the outside surface with a damp and soft cloth.

Electrode Maintenance

With proper care, the electrodes should last for about 20 therapy sessions before they should be replaced. The electrodes are reusable as long as they are clean, retain their sticky or tacky texture, and are without any visible sign of damage. To maximize their life, follow these tips:

  • Cover Electrodes – To prolong the life of the electrodes, replace the Electrode Covers after EVERY use.
  • Hydrate Electrodes – Applying a small amount of electrode gel every time will help effectively deliver the activation current to your muscles as well as maintain the tacky feel of the electrodes.
  • Clean Electrodes – The tacky surface of the electrodes may pick up small amounts of debris after use. To clean the electrode surface, place a small drop of water or electrode gel with the Controller OFF onto the surface of the electrode and gently rub with your fingers to remove the debris.
