TENSproducts
only sells FDA approved electrotherapy devices and complies with all
FDA prescription requirements. If you are a
licensed healthcare professional, we do not require a prescription.
Simply provide us with your license number when ordering.
Since it is our goal to educate the public about the benefits of
electrotherapy, please read the following:
TENS and EMS units are regulated by the Food
and Drug administration under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and
must pass all FDA pre-market requirements.
It is through these pre-market requirements that these devices have been
classified as prescription devices. Therefore under Federal Law,
it is illegal to sell or purchase a TENS or EMS unit without
a prescription unless you are a licensed healthcare provider. There are
certain circumstances when a TENS or EMS unit should not be used and
your healthcare provider can advise you of these. There are only one or
two devices approved for purchase without a prescription or
"over-the-counter" (OTC), one being the BAKWEL http://www.tensproducts.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BAKWEL.
The Federal Government has been known to prosecute individuals
and companies who sell these devices without a prescription. Consequently
customers who purchase illegally from a company or individual selling illegally
may be left without warranty or support for their devices and products. For more information please visit
