We do not judge products of other companies, every  buyer should make his own decision and should be guided by objective information and not by publicity. On the market there are two types of products: medical and paramedical. The characteristic mark of paramedical products is that there is no contraindications. Some of them do not have even general information about their efficiency. Lack of scientific and medical publications should be a proof that this product has no therapeutic properties confirmed, and its efficiency do not exceed placebo effect.  Medical products always have indications and contraindications precisely defined. They are defined on the basis of basic and clinic researches. In order to distinguish medical product with efficiency from non-medical products, which has no therapeutic effects, you can just compare reference list of the medical institutions which use this given product, check if this product was registered in Medical Product Registration Department , warranty conditions, trainings and consultations. Very important element while making a choice is expert evaluation of the company and of the product, the confirmation for your can be number of prizes, awards and distinctions. We wish you  right choices and satisfaction with  product purchased.

Med & Life does not buy up nor even resell used devices. As a certified manufacturer  and distributor of medical devices we are obliged to provide to our customer devices safe in utilization and in highest quality. Taking care also of hygienic and microbiological issues. On those products already used in  unknown conditions we can find p.ex. bacteria, mycetes, viruses and physiologic impurities, also originate from animals. Product  of this kind does  not fulfill basic hygienic conditions but it can even create epidemiological danger (mycosis, allergy, contagious diseases).   Applicators: Viofor JPS’s applicators can be disinfected only chemically, what do not guarantees its sterility. Further utilization of apparatus requires the purchase of new applicators. Control units: Improper transport and especially conditions of storage, can result  in drastic apparatus life-span reduction which is not detected at the moment of technical service.  Destructive factors invisible during technical service are: inundation, storage and usage in humid rooms or in chemically active atmosphere (p.ex. in garages, cellars, laundries).
Warranty According to listed arguments, it is not possible to define period of efficiency of each element in the set  so at the same time we can not give warranty for second-hand devices. Technical Service Service define technical state only on the day of this service. For the buyer of second-hand product the technical service is not a warranty in lawful sense, also it does not ensure further correct functioning of the product. It is really important in case when the product has very distant  production date.  Such sale would be very risky financially and in health for our clients. People who purchase second-hand products should be aware of this risk.

We have never heard about such case. Our apparatus has its typical, characteristic and law-protected design and it is marked with Viofor JPS trade mark. Apparatus  in other casing than from our company can not be the original one.  If you will find such an example of product we would be grateful for the information.

Users who are generally  healthy, who use apparatus in prophylaxis or just to alleviate ailments  should not expect any negative sensations. In some cases  (concerns about 3% of users) prickling and heat sensations can be felt.  Magnetic field action, natural one, as well as the one emitted by Viofor JPS can  not be felt by human senses. When the user is an ill person, during first applications he/she can feel aggravation of symptoms p.ex. pain, heat sensation, prickling etc. This is temporary occurrence and typical for physical therapies. The example of the sensation can be feeling which we have after sport training or after massage. Discomfort related with deterioration of mood passes away together with organism adaptation to these  stimulus.  People with serious disorders should use apparatus after medical consultation and according to recommendations given by doctor who knows this form of therapy. To help our users in correct usage of Viofor JPS System, our company created a possibility to obtain a medical advice thought Internet or through telephone -  Medical info line Med & Life.

We have very rich professional and scientific literature about therapeutic effects and efficiency of treating with Viofor JPS Systems. This literature is a result of scientific researches which  were published as the articles in specialist medical press, doctor theses and congress lectures. Most of them was published also in polish and foreign scientific literature. Specification of some of the publications is accessible on our website www.medandlife.com as   Scientific  publications . Full documentation is available in company’s premises.

Physical mechanisms used in apparatus (ionic cyclotron resonance, magneto mechanisms, electrodynamics) evoke in organism  biological processes which trigger advantageous changes which cause equilibrium in organism (homeostasis) see: www.medandlife.com Such wide spectrum of influence is a predestinate   for Viofor JPS to support treating and rehabilitation of many illnesses. Viofor JPS System is commonly used in paediatric cabinets, internists, physicotherapeutic, neurologic, sport medicine, rehabilitation and biological renewal. Positive results has centers for disabled children, care and treatment institutions and welfare service houses . Viofor JPS Systems is also used in veterinary cabinets. List of some of the institutions which use our product you can find in Reference list i Cabinets.

Yes, according to information given in manual user or after medical consultation.

Single application effects last few hours. Therapeutical effects show hysteresis  - they last long time after the cessation of treatment. To obtain good therapeutical effects in chronic disease  which lasts many years, apparatus should be applied systematically for a long time. When Viofor JPS is used regularly in chronic diseases  we can observe that  the troubles diminish, disease do not progress  and recovery is faster. There is a possibility to restrict doses of medicines, especially pain-killers, anti-inflammatory, soporific. 

Contrary. Physical medicine has many advantages, including the most important one – lack of negative side effects or very little ones. Lot of scientists consider that XXI century will be the century of physical medicine. It does not signify that it will replace intervention medicine or pharmacotherapy, although in many cases physiotherapeutic treatments can be an alternative for them. Viofor JPS uses physical energy for therapies, rehabilitation and biological renewal. Modern diagnostic methods, such as: magnetic resonance, ECG, EEG, USG, X-ray etc.also based on usage of electromagnetic energy.

Yes, especially (although not only) for some of analgesic, not steroid anti-inflammatory, soporific and  anti-depressant  medicine. Analgesic or soporific medicines can be regulated in within your own capacity. Doses of other medicines such as: steroids, insulin, anti hypertensive etc. should be reduced under the surveillance of the doctor. Particular advantage of Viofor Systems is the possibility of regular physiotherapeutic treatments appliance in home conditions. It helps to save time and money because we buy less medicine,  and first of all improve the quality of life in majority of chronic illnesses.

Yes. Our products, before they were implemented into market, had to pass tests required and the whole procedure was finished with audit which certifies conformity  of the product with Union European directive for medical devices. Having this certificate is the condition for marking product  with CE mark. Afterwards every product is registered in Medical Products Registration Department. Certificates are valid on the area of Union European.

We were certifies by British department of international  Notified Body SGS (Société Génerale de Surveillance). Our products are manufactured and distributed according to quality management system by norms: PN - EN ISO 9001:2001 and  EN ISO 13485:2003 (medical product quality management system). We do possess certificate of conformity with EU directive for medical products  93/42/EEC.

Yes, of course. Models Classic and Delux are designed, inter alia, for such usage. Product  Family  Series was invented especially for home use..  Before usage, please consult Manual User and apply all conditions of safe usage, indications and contraindications. Family Series enables  regular application in home conditions, which is recommended in most of chronic illnesses. In those cases mainly analgesic effect should  be expected, what considerably increase self-reliance and activity of people touched by illness in every-day life.

In case of therapy realized by Viofor JPS there are two groups of contraindications: for therapy with magnetic field and contraindications for light therapy. These are not contraindications for apparatus but generally contraindications for method as a form of physical therapy. List of contraindications was based on data found in professional literature concerning magnetic and light appliance in medicine. Contraindications result,  in general, from lack of appropriate  researches, what do not let to recognize this method as efficient and safe. It results from basic medical principle Primum non nocere ( First, not to harm). Magnetic field and light emitted are contraindication in existing illness, they are not the factor which elicit the illness.

Med & Life run active distribution through-out sales representatives in following countries: Great Britain, France, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, Russia. Through system of individual purchases Viofor JPS apparatus is used in many other countries. Thanks to extensive information about the appliance of apparatus in English and in German it is possible to reach client in other countries. Every model of Viofor JPS has voltage switch, what enables easy appliance in other countries with different energetic system.

Yes. For some time ago we were exporting Viofor JPS Classic version on german market under Bioline brand on front panel. On standared name plate apparatus has Viofor JPS marking and our address as a manufacturer of the product.

For every  product, including peripherals, the warranty period is 36 months (control units as well as applicators).  The only exception is laser probe which has 24 months warranty.

Every Viofor JPS apparatus can run continually, without break. However for economical issues and to avoid unnecessary power consumption, control units have stand-by function, which turns on after 2 minutes of idleness- control unit switches on hibernation state when the power consumption is very low. It is very important in doctor’s cabinet and in home use. Control unit handling does not require its constant switching on. Comfortable solution was applied for applicator’s switching. Most of control units is equipped with 3 sockets for applicator’s plugging, it has also applicator’s recognition system. With such solution there is a possibility to choice an applicator without need of continuous manual re-installation.   It is worth to add that full service can be realized with keyboard as well as with remote control unit. .

Yes. Viofor JPS Family can be supplied in power directly from car socket by means of  special cable. Classic and Delux control units require the converter.

Faith effect in medicine is called PLACEBO. It is judged that 30% of patients feels improvement of health state after serving them suggestion that they took analgesic medicine. In case of our apparatus, the researches were made according to scientific standards. The comparison was made between control group and placebo group, or according to double blind test . Curing effect in placebo is not statistically significant and cannot be treated as a therapeutical effect. In case of Vifor JPS the results achieved by scientists reflect real therapeutic effectiveness. In addition, there were plenty of researches conducted on animals and cell models where suggestion  or the effect of faith cannot be taken into consideration. Many publications describe the achieved results and the methodology.

The range of appliance is wide. Main purpose of appliance is reduction of treatment time in every type of injury, reduction of physical and psychical stress, improvement of concentration, acceleration of post-effort restitution, reinforcement of immunological system.

Yes. Applicators for magnetostimulation generate magnetic fields of low induction. If we apply the applicator in a place, where we can find similar magnetic fields of similar induction, the therapeutic effect can be significantly reduced. That is why we recommend to our users to check the magnetic field jamming in a place where the applicator will be located.

Numerous positive messages from private users and from veterinary doctors, allow us to judge that appliance on animals gives similar results as in treating of human beings. Interaction mechanisms are very similar.

We are asked that  question from patient’s side as well as from medical doctor’s side. It is partially intelligible when this is the case of user who has no medical knowledge – it results from magnetic field therapy features – this therapy is invisible and imperceptible through our senses. Justification for lack of knowledge of some of the doctors can be the fact that academic curriculum contain very narrow range of information about magnetic field application in medicine. Larger knowledge is accessible in post-graduate training in specialization program “Balneology and physical medicine”. All the fresh news about the results of scientific research are presented on medical congresses and they are accessible in additional  medical literature. Numerous  doctors are up-to-date with the development  of knowledge in this range of interest. To patients who seek for new and more efficient ways of treatment, we propose contact with doctors who know this method and who have personal experience in this scope of activity. In both cases we advice to everybody to read publications and scientific results about the therapeutic efficacy of applied methods.

Med & Life is present in medical brand magazines. We have organized 25 international science conferences which concerned magnetic field and light application in medicine. Over 10 000 doctors and scientists took part in these conferences. In academic manuals Viofor JPS systems are the example of modern therapeutic methods.  Our products were honoured  with numerous prizes and distinctions in Poland and abroad. Our products are sold on the most demanding markets in Europe.   We will do our best to approach our offer to bigger number of private users.

The best example is that Viofor is used in sport medicine,  we can’t call people who practise sport  professionally as ill. Biological mechanisms of Viofor accelerate regeneration, it has anti-stress actions, improve blood circulation, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity etc. Viofor is undoubtedly an element of contemporary prophylaxis on a XXI century scale.

Twelve years of work on the market is our capital, thousands of satisfied clients to which Viofor helps in health problems at home, in hospitals, in clinics and also in sanatorium. See www.medandlife.com and the opinions of our clients, reference list.

Every client at the moment of purchase of our product receives voucher which authorizes him to participation in training free of charge which concerns appliance of Viofor JPS. Apart from that there is a possibility to have consultations with our medical doctor on our Med & Life info line. 

During our medical devices market review and in registers published by Enregistrement Office we didn’t find “mat with permanent magnet”. Such product is paramedical make. Choice is always on client’s side, however every argumentation  should be verified.  
The best and the quickest way to check the quality of information which concerns indications and therapeutic efficacy is: Internet, as a source of information. Companies which sell paramedical products do not have medical and scientific research of their own products, they take the advantage of experience of other companies, they introduce generalizations and they transfer  results of other products on their own. Very often the common feature is only the name “equipment designed  for application of magnetic field”. You should remember, that magnetic field have a lot of parameters which decide on efficacy  of treating: frequency, induction, shape of impulses applied which decide on frequency spectrum, different applicator construction, so different magnetic field arrangement. In principle, the only way to describe the indications and the efficacy is clinical examination of this product. Its number and results acquired can be the basis to define the efficacy of this medical apparatus in particular disease entity. Indication  list for product is based on results of clinical researches.

It is really hard to answer on such question. If the illness is on the list of contraindications it means that his decision is correct.
That kind of answer results from lack of knowledge and personal experience in usage of this device. In that kind of situation more correct and more honest answer would be “I don’t know the method so I can’t recommend it”
In that case, especially when there was no effects after regular treating, that the progression of disease is visible and the nuisance troubles remains (especially pain), it is worth to seek  for more effective methods  and  to consult specialist’s opinion who knows the method. All methods are realized by Viofor JPS apparatus, they are listed in “National guaranteed benefits basket” and refund by National Health Fund.  Criteria of qualification for being placed in this “basket” are, inter alia, therapeutic efficacy and verification in this matter is really tough.
