OF THE UNITED STATES


Stronger Measures Needed To

Insure That Medical Diathermy

Devices Are Safe And Effective

Food and Drug Administration

Department of Health, Education, and Welfare



Although the Food and Drug Administration
is responsible for regulating medical dia-
thermy devices, it has not established an ef-
fective program to insure that these devices
meet Federal requirements.
The devices, which produce various levels of
deep heat in human tissue, are used by medi-
cal practitioners and physical therapists to
treat patients with such conditions as bursi-
tis, tendonitis, backaches, stiff shoulders, and
tennis elbow.
