Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hello! As most of you know, Emfit has been on an up-hill struggle with the FDA for over a year in an attempt to obtain clearance to market our Epileptic Seizure Alarm in the United States. Unfortunately, we were not able to succeed due to certain concerns regarding how these types of products should be regulated in the United States. It is important that you know that the FDA has not yet determined exactly what is required for approval of epileptic seizure alarm products, and as a result there are currently NO FDA-approved seizure alarms available, despite claims that have been made from manufacturers in and outside of the U.S. We pride ourselves on our integrity and will only follow the legal route when it comes to distributing any of our devices. While this may mean a loss of sales, we are still morally obligated to our customers. Our products have been tried and tested throughout Europe and Australia for over 5 years and we are confident that you will be equally satisfied with our new motion monitor we are about to legally introduce into the United States within the next two weeks. For the FDA approval reasons above, this monitor will not be intended for, or labeled specifically for, any particular medical use (for example, as an epilepsy alarm) but instead, will be sold as a consumer nighttime motion detector for any type of sustained nighttime movement. The price will remain a reasonable $850.00, plus shipping and handling, and will include our proprietary, patented, ultra-responsive movement detection sensor, and control unit with volume adjustment and pre-set delay (see below). We will be accepting Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and Money Orders, and you may buy directly from us or purchase from our online store at www.emfit.com . We will be accepting pre-orders, but will not charge any credit card until the product is ready to ship to you. Unfortunately, insurance will not be able to cover this new system for the simple fact that we cannot list or label it as a medical device. The product comes with a great warranty and a 30-day money- back guarantee in case you are not completely satisfied with its performance. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. I look forward to (at long last) bringing peace of mind to everyone who has been waiting for a system such as ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 850 seems a little steep for something like this, especially when there is no insurance coverage. Also where can one find the studies that have been done showing it's effectiveness. Thanks, -------------- Original message -------------- From: " " <mrefus@...> Hello!

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I was on their mailing list so don't know much more. I just wanted to forward on. Is there a heart monitor we can use that is sleep friendly?
