Doug, There are some equipment/devices (like cellular telephones) that a third party will not grant approvals. This is one of the many typical devices that a third party will not dare give Listing/Certification.

These things have been around for a while, IIRC. Basically, you hook up a pad or pads to places on your body, adjust the level of muscle contraction you think you need, and off you go "exercising " your muscles while you ... walk the dog, read a book, ... I have several questions: 1. How the heck do these things get approval? 2. What standards include these devices? 3. How in the heck do you label these things for warnings? I.e. languages? 4. Is there any evidence continued electrocompulsive activation of muscle causes any sort of permanent nerve damage? 5. Is there some sort of history with these things regarding failures and injuries to the users? - Doug McKean ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
