10. Inspect electrodes before each use. Replace electrodes when they begin to deteriorate or lose adhesion. Poor contact between the electrodes and the patient’s skin increases the risk of skin irritation or burns. Electrodes will last longer if used and stored according to instructions on electrode packaging.
Page 12
22. Hair may be trimmed in vicinity of electrodes for additional comfort. 23. Apply electrode gel on the treatment area of the skin for additional comfort. 24. The following equipment or environments could generate enough electromagnetic interference to potentially create unwanted activation of your e-vive system.
If there is evidence of damage, the system should be returned to CyMedica Orthopedics. 27. Device contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep the e-vive device and its accessories away from small children.

On/Off Button Battery Charge Port e-vive app available for download In the ON position, the LED light on the e-vive controller will illuminate white indicating that the system is powered on and ready, but not connected to Bluetooth. The e-vive controller will turn blue when connected to Bluetooth, indicating the mobile e-vive app and the mobile device are ready to deliver stimulation treatment.

A protective cover is included in the device packaging to protect it from damage due to an accidental drop and/or an accidental water spill. Battery Charge Port Plug the universal USB charging cord into a standard 5V USB wall charger adapter and then plug into the e-vive controller micro USB port to recharge the e-vive controller.
4. 2 R an ge o f M o tio n S en so r Po d The e-vive range of motion sensor is used to evaluate the full movement potential of the knee joint, usually its range of flexion and extension, and is contained in a small pocket of the conductive garment.
NMES Electrodes The electrode covers protect the electrodes from debris and damage while not in use. Before treatment, remove clear plastic covers so the electrodes can contact the skin. After treatment, place the plastic side of the supplied black electrode cover over the electrode. Electrode Covers 4.

Pull the white wire connected to the electrode out of garment until second wire (blue, black, red) is exposed. Unplug the white electrode wire. Position a new electrode of the same size (2” x 2” or 2” x 3.5”) so the black sticky side of electrode is facing up, the attachment side is facing down, and firmly place within the electrode outlines on the garment.
Remove clear plastic liner from top of electrode. After removing the clear plastic liner, place the reusable black electrode cover from packaging or the old electrode on the new electrode. Repeat the above steps for the other two electrodes. e-vive OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5.

Page 25
Once the controller and the app on your smart device are successfully paired you may start the using your e-vive system. First, secure the controller in to the cradle on the garment and position the garment as instructed in section 5.2. The controller should be firmly seated into the cradle on the garment.

This app home screen or e-vive “my dashboard” allows you to view your results, perform electrical stimulation for muscle strengthening, as well as test your range of motion. The top section of the e-vive app will display your daily progress. Each day you will be asked to conduct 20-minute stimulation muscle strengthening sessions and a range of motion test.
Page 27
On the Stimulation Level screen, you set the intensity levels. Each level begins with a setting of 0 and has a maximum setting of 100. Press “+” to increase knee treatment intensity Press “-” to decrease knee treatment intensity NOTE: It is common to have different desired intensity levels for the KNEE AREA and THIGH AREA.
Treatment Completion Once treatment is complete, this screen will be displayed: 5. 4 Op er a t in g th e e- v i ve d e v ice as a b i lat er a l s yst e m (2 gar m en t s an d o n e c o n tr o l ler ) The bilateral e-vive system is indicated for treatment of both the left and right knee.

To begin the range of motion test, position yourself at the edge of the seat, in a chair where your knee can extend and bend comfortably. It is important that the garment be adequately secured to your leg as described in section 5.2 (wearing the NMES conductive garment). Extension: From a seated position at the edge of a seat, slide your heel on the floor to fully extend your leg.
Page 30
Flexion: From a seated position at the end of a chair, slide your heel on the floor toward your buttock. When necessary, move from your heel on floor to your toe. If you feel you can achieve even greater flexion, it may be necessary to remove your toe from the ground and continue to move your heel up towards your buttock.
e-vive SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING e-vive app Error Messages: The e-vive controller is not connected to an accessory If the e-vive controller is powered ON but not communicating with the cradle pod on the NMES conductive garment, this screen will appear. Verify that the e-vive controller is fully seated into the cradle of the conductive garment.
