The American F D A currently classifies HTE machines in the USA as medical device, Regulation Class 1:

Food and Drug Administration Protocols:

1) All websites selling health products have to post a general disclaimer.

"This website is for informational and educational purposes and is not intended as a substitute for medical advice from a healthcare provider, and is not to be used to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent any health problem or disease."

2) The F D A do not allow mention of any medical diagnosis or disease in specific reference to a product sold in the USA without scientific clinical trials and fees.

3) Devices are assigned one of three classifications within the USA:

"F D A classifies medical devices based on the risks associated with the device. Devices are classified into one of three categories - Class I, Class II, and Class III.

Class I devices are deemed to be low risk and are therefore subject to the least regulatory controls. For example, dental floss is classified as Class I device.

Class II devices are higher risk devices than Class I and require greater regulatory controls to provide reasonable assurance of the device’s safety and effectiveness. For example, condoms are classified as Class II devices.

Class III devices are generally the highest risk devices and are therefore subject to the highest level of regulatory control. Class III devices must typically be approved by F D A before they are marketed. For example, replacement heart valves are classified as Class III devices."

Classification outside of USA:
HTE's four main health machines - The Sun Ancon Chi Machine, the FIR Dome, the Electro Reflex Energizer and the E-Power Machine - are recognized, classified and certified as medical device in Canada, Australia and Japan.

FYI:
a) Australian and Canadian health regulations are extraordinarily strict and such classification was not easily or lightly obtained.

b) Japan ranks as having one of the the highest health levels in the world, whereas the U.S. ranks well below. HTE machines were created by Japanese scientists, with exclusive distribution rights given to HTE.

c) HTE (Hsin Ten Enterprise) is the international company that manufactures the machines and was first established in the USA in 1993. HTE world-quarters head office was established in Taiwan 1990, with individual head offices then set up in countries across Asia, North America and Australia.

d) HTE has not had a consumer lawsuit or consumer injury during the past 30 years plus of doing business worldwide - a distinguished accomplishment!

International Distributor.

Personal note to readers:
As a consumer, just like the reader of this page, it does not make sense that things can be classified differently in different locations and different countries - either it is, or it isn't, so to speak - but such matters are not always so clear cut as each country has their own set of politics, rules and regulations which generate billions of dollars in pharmaceutical revenue. 

It is all very confusing, especially as regulations constantly change within the USA from one year to the next, but we strive to follow protocol to the very best of our knowledge and understanding.

The F D A found fault with us well over a decade ago, demanding articles be rewritten, specific words eliminated, and scientific documentation be removed so as to comply with their regulations, to limit public information so as to remain within their boundaries. We of course complied and continue to do so.

Clarity, transparency and honesty is extremely important to us, especially regarding health, on both sides of every fence!

Our mission is to simply make a difference and reach out and help individuals worldwide, to help humanity with integrity, sincerity, compassion and honesty. It has been 22 years now, and we believe we are accomplishing this.
