PEMF devices of all kinds (high- and low-frequency, high- and low-intensity) are not free of contraindications and interactions. Depending on the applied field intensity, frequency and waveforms, contraindications may vary widely. Based on the risk analysis, which is a mandatory part of any medical certification, the legal contraindications for iMRS prime and Omnium1 are as following:
During pregnancy
In case of epilepsy
With electronic implants such as pacemakers or insulin pumps (exceptions with the consent of a treating physician)
Children younger than 2 weeks
In addition, the following so-called ‘relative contraindications’, therefore we name them interactions, need to be considered and must be evaluated by a licensed health care provider on an individual basis prior to a PEMF application:
Tumor illnesses
Serious cardiac arrhythmia
In acute attacks of hyperthyroidism
In the case of oversensitivity to electromagnetic radiation (EMS)
A manufacturer of any kind of PEMF devices, who does not mention any contraindications publicly (manuals, websites, educational material etc.), is not operating legally and may harm the user with hazardous, unclassified and non-compliant devices!
