Safety and Risks

The Magnesphere™ is classified under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation 21 CFR 890.5660. Under this product regulation the Magnesphere™ device is classified as a Class I medical device, exempt from 510(k) Premarket Submission. The FDA Product Code for the Magnesphere™ is ISA by the Physical Medicine Review Panel. The Magnesphere™ FDA product listing number is D134631." See our Certificate of Compliance.

There have not been any serious medical adverse events resulting from exposure to the Magnesphere™ device (or its predecessor model, the Resonator). However, in other studies, magnetic stimulation from stronger fields has been shown to increase the risk of seizures, especially in patients with lowered seizure thresholds. If you are at risk for seizures, you should not participate in our relaxation sessions.

Magneceutical™ therapy relaxation sessions should not be administered to Patients with the following Health Conditions:

Implanted electrical stimulators in the Brain
Chronic Atrial Fibrillation (Poorly Controlled)
Epilepsy
CHF (Congestive Heart Failure)
High Blood Pressure (Poorly Controlled)

It is possible that there are other medical risks from exposure to the Magnesphere™ as we do not know all of the consequences from its use. The FDA has not decided that the Magnesphere™ device or exposure to it is safe. It is possible that you may suffer discomfort or pain, but it is not likely.

Since the magnetic therapy that is produced by this device is in the Pico-Tesla range, the magnetic energy that is delivered to the body is a fraction of the magnetic energy produced by the earth on a constant basis. There are no other hazards that the Company has identified with this device.

To date, five Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), including Independent Review Consulting, Inc. IRB, Western Investigational Review Board (WIRB), University of Colorado's IRB (COMIRB), Ethical & Independent Review Services, and University of South Florida's IRB determined the Magnesphere's™ predecessor device, the Resonator™, to be a non-significant risk (NSR) device when applied to the particular studies and protocols identified below. These protocols involved Parkinson Disease, Alzheimer Disease, Fibromyalgia, and Type 2 Diabetes patients for eight independent studies, as described below:

A single site, randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the application of magnetic fields using the Resonator for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease in addition to standard of care, Pico-Tesla Magnetic Therapies, LLC. October 12, 2010. USF IRB Study # Pro00001676

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, evaluation of the application of magnetic fields using the Resonator™ device for the treatment of fibromyalgia: pilot study protocol. Pico-Tesla Magnetic Therapies, LLC. November 2, 2010, E&I Review Services Study # 10242-01

The Magnesphere™ is intended to enhance feelings of relaxation, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
