NEW CLEAR THERAPY ELECTRONIC CONDENSATOR
notes: label: Description
content: The FDA found that this device, aka Holder’s Electronic Hi-Frequency Electronic Condensator, “was an electronic, high-voltage oscillator and a group of glass electrode applicators. The electrodes were gas-filled and produced a glow discharge during application. The radio frequencies emanating were of such low power and low frequency as to have negligible absorption in the body.” In 1956, the firm was convicted of misbranding.
