I would like to personally thank all of you who continue to support our efforts here at SOTA.
NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Alternative Health Company Gains Government Licensing for Health Device British Columbia. SOTA Instruments Inc. is pleased to announce that Health Canada has issued a Medical Device License for their Magnetic Pulser. "The Magnetic Pulser has been used extensively as a research unit by natural health practitioners and the public. This license," says Russ Torlage, company President, "represents a major step forward in forging a bridge between the medical community and other health professionals. Medical doctors are now free to use our Magnetic Pulser in their practice. Our Magnetic Pulser is classified as a Class II Medical Device which allows for purchase without the need of a prescription." SOTA Instruments Inc. is a privately-owned Canadian-based company that specializes in the manufacture and design of leading-edge electronic products for the natural health market. The Magnetic Pulser has been licensed as a device that assists in the healing process by improving tissue oxygenation and blood flow. It can assist in reducing edema as the result of soft tissue injury and fractures. It may also assist with symptomatic relief of chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal injuries. The use of pulsed magnetic fields has gained increasingly favorable attention in recent years as a non-invasive, non-toxic, healing modality. Most of the pulsed magnetic therapy devices currently on the market are large, expensive and complex units. In contrast, SOTA's MPG is lightweight, portable, easy to use, and priced at a cost that is attractive and affordable to consumers. The Magnetic Pulser is safe and simple to operate. ###
