MedSurge Advances and Storz Medical Gain FDA Clearance for New Vibration Massage System
MedSurge Advances and Storz Medical gain FDA clearance for new technology in vibration massage systems, also known as acoustic wave therapy.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 16, 2008
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for a new vibration massage system for relief of minor muscle aches and pains and a temporary increase in local blood circulation. The MedSurge Advances (MSA) and Storz Medical technology is known as the D-Actor® 200 Vibration Massage System in Europe and Acoustic Wave Therapy™ (AWT) in the US.
The D-Actor® 200 Vibration Massage System or AWT, uses a pneumatically generated pulse emitted by a freely moving hand piece to zero in on the defined area of the body that is causing pain. This system is designed to alleviate minor muscle aches and pains in the body through pulse activated technology.
"We are delighted to announce FDA clearance for the D-Actor 200. This device's proven efficacy in increasing blood circulation and relieving muscle aches will serve physicians well, especially osteopaths and other sports medicine specialists" said Scott Day, MedSurge Advances CEO and President.
MedSurge Advances, the nation's largest independent provider of aesthetic medicine products and services to physicians, has exclusive rights to market the device in the US. Storz Medical, a leading medical supplier from Switzerland, makes decisive contributions to technological progress, including pulse activation treatment (PAT) therapies and to the development of new system concepts.
