FAQ

What is PEMF?

PEMF therapy is a revolutionary wellness modality that utilizes soothing pulsed electromagnetic fields. Our PEMF machines apply focused pulsing magnetic stimulation to the body at the cellular level through our exclusive line of accessories. By stimulating and exercising the cells, PEMF therapy addresses underlying cellular dysfunction and supports the body’s natural healing and regulating abilities. (Source: pulsecenter.com)

What should I expect during and after a PEMF session?

Pulsing is a gentle, soothing experience. During a PEMF session, you may notice small muscle contractions, heightened stimulation around areas of pain or previous injury.

After the session, you may experience positive sensations such as relaxation,[4,5] increased energy,[6,7] and supported range of motion,[9] or detoxification symptoms such as headache, brain fog, fatigue, or nausea.

Is PEMF Therapy safe to use?

PEMF is typically safe to use unless you have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or cochlear hearing device or if you are pregnant, actively bleeding, or have blood clots. In these cases, PEMF may not be an option for you.

Is PEMF Therapy a new technology?

PEMF might seem like a new technology to us in North America, but it has been safely used throughout Europe and other countries for more than 50 years. Thousands of studies have proven the benefits of PEMF technology.

For a more comprehensive history of PEMF and related studies, search for Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields on pubmed.gov.

How do I know if I'm getting results?

Bio-cellular stimulation delivers progressive results in a similar manner to physical exercise. Your initial PEMF sessions should leave you feeling energized, although in some cases the first session or two triggers a toxin release that has you feeling lethargic afterward. If this happens, drink fluids to accelerate detox.

Is it painful?

Quite the opposite. You relax on a leather bed or chair, and the PEMF machine does all the work, flooding your body with a pulsed electromagnetic field. It’s so peaceful, you may even fall asleep during treatment.

How quickly will I see the results?

Bio-cellular stimulation delivers progressive results in a similar manner to physical exercise. Your initial PEMF sessions should leave you feeling energized, although in some cases the first session or two triggers a toxin release that has you feeling lethargic afterward. If this happens, drink fluids to accelerate detox.

History

The use of magnetic fields for healing is not modern. Long before the reasoning for their benefits was understood, ancient medicine was incorporating magnetic therapies into their medical therapies. Around 4000BC Hindus refer to treatment of disease with magnetized stones (lodestones). In 2000BC, Chinese physicians developed written protocols for using lodestones on acupuncture points, as described in “The Yellow Emperor’s Book of Internal Medicine.” (source: drpawluk.com)

Ancient History

Magnetic therapy has a long history, with ancient texts reporting the use of magnetite in China around 2000 BC, and in Greece around 200 BC.

Pulsed magnetic fields are very different and fairly recent. Pioneering research was done in the 1960’s, first in Japan, then the Soviet Bloc countries.

By 1974, Dr. Andrew Bassett at Columbia University Medical Centre had shown that a rapidly changing saw-tooth signal produced a Piezoelectric current in the bone which significantly accelerated the healing of fractures [1], [2].

Early and Mid-Modern History

The basic technology has existed in various forms for decades, starting with Nikola Tesla’s alternating current in the 1800s. About seventy years ago, Dr. Harold Saxton Burr, Ph.D. proved that disease was preceded by a quantifiable imbalance in our electrical charge.

Shortly after, PEMF Cellular Exercise began being used to aid in bone growth. It currently is used to support whole-body wellness.

20th Century

PEMF Emerges

 In 1932, an early form of PEMF, the Diapulse, was developed by American physician Abraham Ginsberg and physicist Arthur Milinowski. It consisted of a large cylindrical applicator device mounted on an articulated arm for localized treatments. Its primary aim was in boosting circulation and healing wounds and burns.

 In the late-1940’s, post-war Japanese medical clinics began using some early PEMF prototypes.

 The 1960’s were an active decade for PEMF development. Manufacturing began in several countries in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. And in Germany, Dr. Rutger Wever showed that shielding test subjects from sunlight, Earth’s magnetic field, and atmospheric frequencies led to various mental and physical problems.

They were only relieved by exposure to a PEMF field using the frequencies discovered in 1952 by Dr. Winfried Otto Schumann (later known as the Schumann Resonances).

 Still, in the 1960’s, Antoine Priore and a team of French scientists was funded by the French government to test PEMF technology on laboratory animals, with promising results.

By the 1970’s, Dr. Kyoichi Nakagawa in Japan was showing that fatigue, insomnia, and idiopathic pain common among industrial workers could be relieved by magnetic fields. PEMF was also drawing attention in the USA for its use on top racehorses, and Dr. Andrew Bassett showed that low-frequency PEMF could heal some of the most difficult types of bone fracture (non-union and delayed union). This use was approved by the FDA in 1979.

NASA and the home user

 By the 1990’s, we see the challenge of long stays in Space with the Soviet Union launching the Mir space station into near-Earth orbit. It reportedly used PEMF equipment to deliver Schumann Resonances to those on board.

21st Century

In the 2000’s, NASA became one of the most active researchers in PEMF. A four-year study that it published in 2003 concluded that PEMF has the potential for “repairing traumatized tissues and moderating some neurodegenerative diseases.”

 In 2005, NASA published “Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields – A Countermeasure for Bone Loss and Muscle Atrophy” and said this would become important for longer space flights in the future.

And in 2009, Dr. Thomas Goodwin and other NASA scientists were awarded a patent for using PEMF to accelerate tissue repairs.

 Since 2000, we’ve seen PEMF used increasingly by the general public as a pain relief and wellness technology. The fastest initial growth was in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, but usage has recently boomed in the USA and Asia.

The Future of Magnetic Therapy

PEMF is backed by a mountain of research: over a thousand controlled clinical studies, and over 30,000 research papers. Most have shown positive results, and there have been no signs of harmful side effects. PEMF has long been used as a delivery route for natural frequencies but this is likely to expand significantly in the future.

 We already see it being combined with regulation of circadian rhythms (our body clock), brain entrainment (using Sound and Light), music therapy, and bio-feedback (using Heart Rate Variability).

The growing popularity of PEMF, and our exploding levels of EMF pollution, suggest that magnetic therapy is now entering a totally new age.

Science

The reason why PEMF therapy is especially important for those over the age of 40 is because Medical Science tells us that once we hit our 40s, genetically-timed events will trigger changes to our hormones and metabolism in our body and also to our DNA with the shortening of our Telomeres, all of which accelerate the aging process in our bodies and promote physical and mental decline, decay and deterioration, making us more vulnerable to chronic disease, pain, and weight gain as we grow older.

Magnetic Field

Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Cellular Exercise is a therapy in which electromagnetic fields reach deep inside your body to exercise your cells. It causes your cells to expand and contract, similarly to when you work out at the gym. Just like your muscles, your cells need to be strong.  Weak cells are characterized by low voltage.

Frequencies

The goal of the PEMF system is to produce a magnetic field that penetrates the body and supports its natural functions.  This requires a very long wavelength and low frequency.

Most PEMF systems produce frequencies in the extremely low frequency to very-low-frequency range on the electromagnetic spectrum, much closer to the earth’s frequencies, are non-ionizing, and have been used safely around the world for decades.

Waveforms

Understanding the various waveforms requires some basic physics education. In general, the waveform(s) of a low-pulsed PEMF device is/are very crucial when it comes to efficiency and health benefits.

The waveform defines how the information (frequency) will be delivered from the applicator to the user. The plainest waveform is the Sine Wave.

Sine Waves deliver frequencies one at a time in sequence, i.e. 20 Hertz (Hertz = unit for frequency) = 20 vibrations/sec. Because of its even and rounded waveform, Sine Waves tend to subside without delivering a remarkable force.

Low-pulsed PEMF systems, solely delivering Sine Waves, are outdated and by far less effective than systems with more complex waveforms. The capability of creating beneficial over waves, known as harmonics, when using a Sine Wave is limited to even numbers of the basic frequency and therefore inappropriate for overall health and wellness effects.

Intensity

APPLIED FIELD INTENSITIES = AMPLITUDE

Unit of Measurement=Gauss or Tesla

Electromagnetic field Intensity describes the created force around an electrical charge. It consists of a direction (polarity) and strength (magnitude). In the world of therapeutic PEMF devices, we differentiate between two major groups: high-Intensity systems and low to very low-intensity systems.

High-intensity systems deliver field strength in the multiple Tesla range, compared to low PEMF systems, which usually deliver intensities in the micro-Tesla or even pico-Tesla range (very low-intensity PEMF systems).

High-Intensity devices are mainly used in clinical applications by certified professionals, such as rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, FDA approved) fighting depression and also for certain applications such as non-union or delayed union fractures and bone growth stimulation, both FDA approved.

High-intensity electromagnetic fields in the multiple tesla range are also utilized in a lot of other amazing technology today such as MRI diagnostic systems (3 Tesla) and the Large Hadron Collider (8 Tesla).

Low pulsed electromagnetic devices usually range between 0.1 and around 1000 micro-Tesla, depending on the brand and the attached applicator. Those intensity ranges are considered to be safe by law, even for continuous application, and do no harm.

When evaluating the published studies and trials on PEMF, we can find all kinds of positive results with all kinds of intensities and frequency ranges.

Please be aware, that “TRUE” clinical studies with PEMF are never related to a specific brand but always to the applied properties (frequency range, intensity, waveform, and duration of application).

Schumann Waves

There is a second frequency within the earth’s ionosphere called the Schumann Resonance, which resonates at 7.83 Hz. This frequency is created mainly by lightning strikes … approximately 7 million per day!

Both the earth’s geomagnetic fields and the Schumann Resonance frequencies create harmonic frequencies that range up to 32Hz. Any higher harmonics are indistinguishable. This 0 to 30 Hz range is known as the ‘biological window’ or Adey window of biological frequencies.

Resonance

When electromagnetic frequencies and field strengths (intensities) are delivered to the body via the correct waveform and within a specific value range, this triggers a process known as cellular resonance, which in turn stimulates the cell and improves the way it functions.

How does PEMF work when it comes to RESONANCE you might ask? Well, a much-used example of ‘resonance frequency‘ is the typical playground swing, which acts as a pendulum.

If you push a child on a swing in time with the natural interval of the swing, the swing will go higher and higher. However, pushing it at any other time will interfere with the swing and it will then go lower or even stop altogether.

 When the swing is pushed in phase or ‘in resonance’, the energy it absorbs is maximized allowing it to reach its maximum amplitude or highest point. This concept can similarly be applied to the cells within the human body. A good example of ‘resonance frequency’ can be seen in the video below in an experiment carried out at the Ikeuchi Laboratory in Japan in 2012 using 32 Metronomes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5eBf2KwF8   

When electromagnetic impulses of the appropriate frequency are applied to the body, this can result in a process called ‘cellular resonance’, with the vibration of the cell occurring at maximum amplitude, similar to the principle of ‘resonance’ you saw happening with the 32 pendulums.

When this occurs, the resulting stimulation of the cell’s membrane receptors activates a variety of functions within the cell, accounting for the widespread benefits of PEMF therapy

Technology

The basic technology has existed in various forms for decades, starting with Nikola Tesla’s alternating current in the 1800’s. About seventy years ago, Dr. Harold Saxton Burr, PhD proved that disease was preceded by a quantifiable imbalance in our electrical charge. Shortly after, PEMF Cellular Exercise began being used to aid in bone growth. It currently is used to support whole body wellness.

Who can use PEMF Therapy?

Everyone can use PEMF therapy from the very young to the elderly, from sedentary individuals to those that exercise daily. Essentially, anyone at any age group, any level of wellness or fitness including both humans and animals (of all species), can benefit from using this technology while experiencing no negative side effects.

How often can I use PEMF Therapy?

You can use PEMF therapy as often as you choose. Whether you use it once a day or once a week. PEMF treatment is a safe, easy to use, and effective treatment with no negative side effects.

Using PEMF just 20-60 minutes per day offers long-lasting, significant relief not only throughout the day but throughout the weeks and months, as it mobilizes the body’s healing resources.  Using consistently is the Key!

What is the lifespan of Swiss Bionic Devices?

The first PEMF system from Swiss Bionic is over 25 years old and still used by the father of the CEO of Swiss Bionic Solutions. The next model the MRS2000 is more than 11 years old and still widely used.

The iMRS entered the market in 2010 and is the company’s flagship model. The Omnium1 entered the market in 2014 and the next generation Omnium1 was available in  November 2018.

All in all Swiss Bionic PEMF systems have a very long lifespan.

What is the difference between using the mat or any of the applicators?

The whole body mat (with Swiss Bionic iMRS and Omnium1 PEMF systems) employs a triple sawtooth waveform that affects every single cell in your body helping create long-term healing. It isn’t just used to maintain healthy cells and bring malfunctioning cells to a healthy state but is also used as a powerful preventative measure to maintain energy and vitality in your body.

The localized applicators (iMRS and Omnium1 pad, Omnispot and iMRS probe) are used to reduce aches and pains and improve circulation, helping the body to transport oxygen and nutrients to specific areas with injured or inflamed tissues.

Can I use more than one applicator at a time?

No, you can only use one applicator at any one time. The whole body mat has a triple-saw tooth waveform while all applicators have a square wave which would conflict with each other if used at the same time.

What do I do if I have a technical problem?

You have many options, the first one being to consult your user manual. The Swiss Bionic corporate website has a detailed page on FAQ complete with walk-throughs regarding the Omnium1 and iMRS.

If you still have questions you would call or email your representative to troubleshoot. You can also create a support ticket in the Swiss Bionic ticketing system on the corporate website. This way there is a record and history with the head office and someone from the technical department will communicate with you to help you solve your problem.

Application Questions

How do I know which application protocol I have to use and which is the best for me in regards to my particular condition?

PEMF is not designed to treat or heal any particular disease. The approach of low-pulsed PEMF is holistic and therefore also not limited to certain conditions. The concept of finding the best protocol for effective treatment with PEMF is not based on the “diagnosis” and a particular setting but on the important detail, whether “the” certain condition is acute or already chronic.

An acute disease is usually reflecting the “worse” state and in acute stages, the related symptoms are definitely the worst.

In such cases, the correct approach with PEMF is to apply a holistic whole-body application with shorter duration but higher intensities as the healing reaction of the body is already present (inflammation) and a desired, fast healing effect is not compromised by so-called Herxheimer effects (= worsening of existing symptoms).

In simple terms: Acute condition = shorter duration of whole-body application with higher magnetic field intensities! Chronic conditions, as the word says, are conditions, which are commonly defined by “longer than 6 months”.

In these cases, symptoms already declined, but are still omnipresent and constantly affect the quality of life of the person affected. In order to support the self-healing properties with PEMF and at the same time to avoid strong and unpleasant Herxheimer effects (= healing reactions = initial worsening of symptoms), the correct approach with PEMF is to apply a holistic whole-body application with longer duration but lower intensities. This will gradually control the Herxheimer effect but at the same time still, create healing support with more gentle and tolerable progress.

In simple terms: Chronic condition = longer duration of whole-body application with lower magnetic field intensities! With both approaches, please be aware, that consistency is hereby the key while utilizing PEMF!

A holistic modality only creates lasting effects, when the application will be performed on a daily basis!

Please download our particular application protocol recommendations with all available applicators for the iMRS prime and the Omnium1 systems here: Application Protocol (Wolfi’s law) https://www.swissbionic.com/backoffice/documents/flyer2021/Wolfis_law_imrs_prime_omnium1_en.pdf

How long it takes until PEMF therapy is creating results?

Usually, basic success with a PEMF therapy depends on the severity of the condition itself and on the age, general condition, and lifestyle of the user/patient.

Acute conditions = faster results, chronic conditions = results may take longer and are usually insidious. If used with consistency according to the proposed application protocol, results become present within a time frame of 2-4 weeks, with some acute conditions in an even shorter time.

Hydrating is very important while utilizing PEMF applications. Please make sure to always drink a glass of purified or activated water before and after a PEMF application, this will greatly improve efficiency!

How long do I need to use PEMF?

Basically, and if assigned because of a particular situation, apply as long as the healing period has been accomplished and you are free of any symptoms.

However, the PEMF application is also designed and effective as a preventive modality. Apart from a healthy lifestyle (proper diet, hydration, exercise, avoid alcohol and nicotine), implement PEMF application into your daily routine!

The use of iMRS prime or Omnium1 is very beneficial in terms of keeping your entire organism healthy, PEMF supports relaxation, stress relief and improves your quality of sleep!

Does PEMF replace conventional therapy?

PEMF application is a conjunctional modality.  It does not replace conventional treatments, administered by your health care provider!

However, as PEMF therapy improves the self-healing capacities, it serves as a powerful support to speed up repair and healing and may be capable of improving and optimizing the results of existing and applied primary therapy modalities.

What is the purpose of using different applicators?

The iMRS prime, as well as the Omnium1, are designed for holistic applications with the supplied whole body applicator.

In addition and depending on your personal selection, both systems can be also used with local applicators, such as Exagon Pad, OmniPad, and/or Exagon Spot, OmniSpot.

Those local applicators are mainly designed to be used AFTER or in between a whole-body application to address certain conditions locally, mainly related to pain relief and local increase of blood circulation.

As the iMRS prime, as well as the Omnium1, expose different waveforms for the whole body mat (triple sawtooth) and the local applicators (square wave), one application does not replace the other, they actually complement each other.

A local application shall be applied with the same principle and approach as the whole body applicator: Acute conditions = shorter duration with higher intensities, chronic conditions = longer duration with lower intensities. We refer hereby to Wolfi`s Law as explained in this section above under topic 1!

What is the purpose of the Fast Start Programs?

The Fast Start Programs, built-in the iMRS prime and Omnium1, are designed to provide a simple (one-touch-operation) and effective way to rapidly achieve certain overall wellness effects.

All involved parameters are hereby already preprogrammed (including organ clocks = carrier frequencies, intensity levels incl. eventual combinations of it) and in case of utilizing Exagon Brain or OmniBrain, the preferred flicker frequencies, colors, and tone sequences are also generated and provided automatically.

Overall, the Fast Start Programs are a very easy, safe, and efficient way to utilize PEMF-, Light-, Sound- and Color-therapy without any previous knowledge while creating the desired results.

Do I feel something during a PEMF application?

Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields within the low-frequency and low-intensity range can usually not be sensed by the user.

However, many people may feel a slight tingling in their fingers, arms, toes, or legs.

Additionally, due to the increase of blood circulation, people feel a pleasant warmth inside their bodies. The warmth is hereby not generated by the applicator itself but by the body`s reaction to it (= resonance effect).

People with a very high sympathetic level (stress) tend to fall asleep quickly during a PEMF application due to its balancing, relaxing, and calming properties.

Be aware to slowly stand up after an application to avoid positional vertigo.

What to do if I don't achieve the results I expect?

The No. 1 success factor of PEMF is based on the willingness to use the application on a consistent basis.

No. 2 success factor is to follow the individual protocol, provided by the Swiss Bionic Solutions Certified Lifestyle Consultant.

No. 3 success factor represents the personal lifestyle. Hydration, diet, exercise, and avoiding prevalent vices will contribute greatly to a faster and considerable success.

If all three above-mentioned rules will be followed accordingly, improvement usually appears within a time frame of 4-8 weeks.

Nevertheless, if absolutely no change can be observed, please contact your assigned Swiss Bionic Solutions LifeStyle Consultant and ask for a protocol amendment. Sometimes, certain users suffer from a so-called regulation blockage.

By adjusting the application parameters and eventual additional measures, the blockage can be released and the effect kicks in.

Can I use PEMF longer than the recommended 24 minutes to speed up the effects?

Low-pulsed PEMF systems are designed to deliver frequency bundles, which are exposed via the connected applicators.

The main goal of a holistic PEMF application (with a whole body mat) is to deliver these frequencies inside the entire body utilizing physical induction.

As a result, the addressed cellular structures are capable of understanding this “information” and start to resonate with it (MRS = Magnetic Resonance Stimulation)!

Scientific observations show, that after a certain time frame (20-25 minutes), cells start refusing to absorb external stimuli (fatigue effect) but are still capable of resonating with it for a long time, even if the initial signal is not supplied anymore.

Based on these facts, it makes simply no sense to apply PEMF for hours and hours, as it will not enhance or promote the desired effect anymore.

It appears to be much more beneficial to utilize PEMF 2-4 times/day with durations of max. 24 minutes and 4-6 hours of breaks in between.

As an exception, you may additionally use local applicators with longer durations (up to 60 minutes) in case of very acute conditions (sport accidents, incisions, bruises, etc.).

What is the effect of the built-in organ clock?

PEMF systems from Swiss Bionic Solutions (iMRS prime as well as Omnium1) are equipped with a so-called Chinese organ clock.

This principle from TCM (= Traditional Chinese Medicine) refers to the thesis, that living organs are not equally active during a 24-hour period (biorhythm).

The built-in Chinese organ clock in our PEMF systems controls the applied frequency bundles and aligns them towards the time of the day an application will be performed. This ensures, that every organ will receive its resonating frequencies according to its natural behavior.

In case Brain Wave Entrainment with Exagon Brain or OmniBrain will be simultaneously applied, the organ clock also controls the exposed frequencies (audio-visually) to address to the brain.

Why do I sometimes hear a soft “click” noise out of the Connector box?

The iMRS prime and Omnium1 systems are equipped with a D/A-Converter (transforming digital into analog signals), responsible for “translating” the digital input command into an analog, electromagnetic field.

A unique property of both systems is the so-called “pole shift”: Every 2 minutes the electromagnetic north- and south pole of the exposed field are inverted during an application (with all available applicators), which can be heard by a soft “click” noise inside the Connector box.

This property allows to prevent from the undesired fatigue effect and improves the resonance and coherence factor with the exposed cellular structures.

What is so special about the Exagon Spot or OmniSpot?

The Exagon Spot or OmniSpot are both local applicators to apply PEMF on specific areas of the body. The specific design of these applicators allows two different approaches:

  • Side by side position of the coils = open configuration to lay on body surfaces (similar to Exagon Pad or OmniPad)
  • Folded version = applicator can be wrapped around a body part (arm, hand, knee, leg, shoulder etc.). This particular setup let the coils face each other and create the so-called Helmholtz configuration.  This physical effect allows the electromagnetic field to become 100% homogenous in the center space of the two opposed coils and enhances hereby the desired effect.
How far away from the applicator does a PEMF signal still create an effect?

PEMF signals are characterized by the property to spread in any direction equally. At the same time PEMF signals lose intensity very quickly over distance.

With the iMRS prime or Omnium1 systems from Swiss Bionic Solutions and obviously depending on the chosen intensity level during an application, the magnetic field strength will still create a beneficial effect within a radius of up to 1m/3ft = more than enough to penetrate through the entire body mass of a user during an application.

Do I have to undress or dress less while performing a PEMF application?

PEMF signals are also characterized by the property of penetrating through solid material (even concrete). Therefore, it is not necessary, and it does not create any additional beneficial effect if the user undresses.

However, please make sure, that you empty your pockets, remove your wallet, credit cards, take off your ring(s), watch, and other jewelry as alloys may interfere with the electromagnetic pulse packages and so create a disturbing influence on the exposed field.

At which end of the whole body applicator do I place my head?

Always place your head at the end of the whole body applicator where the cord is attached.

There is a good reason for that, as the magnetic field intensity on the whole body applicator is weaker in the head area and stronger at the feet area.

Where can I place my body applicator during an application?

You have to place the body applicator on something firm, such as the floor.

If you use a massage table, cot, or top of your bed, put a board that will not bend on top of the bed, even if it has a somewhat firm mattress.   

But never under your mattress (except a 100 % foam mattress). You can also place the applicator on top of the body (in case someone is bed-bound or chair-bound).

How do I clean my Swiss Bionic PEMF system?

You can easily clean your control unit or tablet with mild soap and a moist cloth. For the touch screen use a specific screen cleaner (same as for computer screens, tablets, and smartphones).

For the applicators apply mild soap with a moist cloth and rub it dry with a microfiber cloth. If you would like to disinfect your unit, you can do so with a mild disinfectant.

Please avoid using sprays or harsh products such as Lysol.

What is the benefit of using Exagon Sense with the iMRS prime?

“Exagon Sense” is another unique feature of the iMRS prime and contains of a combination of a hardware component (The “Exagon Sense” optical, photoplethysmography sensor) and a sophisticated algorithm programmed into the firmware of the iMRS prime.

While attaching the finger sensor and activating the Exagon Sense function during an application, the iMRS prime constantly measures the heart rate of the user and evaluates the Heart Rate Variability Coefficient (HRVC) in approx. 60 seconds intervals.

Depending on the respective result, the iMRS prime automatically adjusts the applied electromagnetic field intensity dynamically during the entire duration of the application.

This function is also called “The PEMF Auto Pilot” as, based on the individual biofeedback, evaluated by HRV, the reaction of the user on the applied PEMF field is constantly recognized and the magnetic field intensity will automatically be aligned.

In addition, the iMRS prime is recording all HRV data. Those data can be downloaded at any time and utilized for further evaluation through external HRV analysis software. As an informational add-on, the iMRS prime also calculates and displays the SPO2 values of the user during an application.

What is the warranty on Swiss Bionic Solutions devices?

There is a 3-year warranty on everything except the Omnium1 control tablet itself.  That has a 1-year warranty and the Omnibrain, Exagon Sense, and Exagon Brain have a 6-month warranty.

Warranty extensions can be additionally purchased.

PEMF For Athletes

Is PEMF capable of increasing general performance levels of athletes?

The answer is a clear “YES”. Based on the mode of operation, PEMF optimizes cell membrane potential. This effect leads to a better absorption of nutrients and oxygen and therefore increases the body`s own production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). More ATP = more energy = more power = better performance!

In addition, PEMF increases microcirculation = better supply of all performance-related substances throughout the entire organism = better performance!

Is PEMF considered to be doping?

As PEMF only balances, improves and optimizes existing potentials of the entire organism and no external substances are being supplied, performance enhancement with PEMF is not only 100% legal, it also does not create side effects and/or interactions!

Can PEMF help with faster regeneration?

Today the regeneration process in athletes is much better understood and respected. Rest after training or competition becomes a crucial factor in building and maintaining the highest levels of performance and professional regeneration also serves as a protective measure to prevent from injuries and illnesses.

Low-pulsed PEMF applications with iMRS prime or Omnium1 promote the evacuation of lactic acid, creatine kinase, and further waste substances and still keep the metabolism active, even in stages of rest and digest – this process is important to channel the toxic substances through the lymphatic system and “clean up” the entire organism.

Simultaneous use of Exagon Brain or OmniBrain creates an additional effect on the mental state of an athlete, depending on which light frequencies, colors, and tone sequences will be applied.

Does PEMF have an influence on concentration, focus, coordination, reflexes and anticipation?

Based on the property of PEMF to optimize overall functions of metabolism, the motoric performance spectrum can be optimized.

Additional Brain Wave Entrainment improves mental strength, awareness, and wide awakeness.

Utilizing both modalities simultaneously, body and spirit will experience a higher level of general efficiency.

What is the best PEMF protocol for athletes?

As athletes have generally a higher basic level of metabolism, the applied intensities and application durations with the iMRS prime or Omnium1 differ from conventional approaches. Based on our experience and the numerous feedback from athletes using our systems all over the world and in various sports, the following protocols appear to be most efficient:

  • A. Preparation for training/competition:
    – Whole-body application, no later than one hour before training/competition with intensity level 100 and application duration 16 minutes (if applicable, Exagon Brain or OmniBrain with color blue and organ clock “Noon”)!
  • B, After training/competition:
    – Whole-body application with intensity level 10 and application duration 24 minutes (if applicable, Exagon Brain or OmniBrain with color green and organ clock “Evening”)! – Additional local application with Pad or Spot on the designated muscle areas with intensity level 50 and application duration 24 minutes (can be repeated with a break of two hours in between).

C. Basic routine:
– A general morning session after waking up with intensity level 50 and application duration 16 minutes (if applicable, Exagon Brain or OmniBrain with color blue and organ clock “Morning”)! as well as a night session before bedtime with intensity level 10 and application duration of 24 minutes (if applicable, Exagon Brain or OmniBrain with color green and organ clock “Night”) can be performed as a basic and consistent routine.

Exagon FIR

What is the “unique” property of Exagon FIR?

The iMRS prime is the only low-pulsed PEMF system in the entire world providing an applicator allowing simultaneous PEMF (Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Field) and FIR (Far InfraRed) application.

Far InfraRed (FIR) radiation is an InfraRed subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum and has been clinically investigated for biological effects, mostly within the sub-range of roughly 3-12µm (biological window).

FIR creates a holistic effect from the inside-out (similar to PEMF) = thermal AND a-thermal radiation will be absorbed and enhanced through vibrational and rotational effects on a multi-molecular level.

While using Exagon FIR, the resonance absorption rate is very efficient due to the small distance between the user and the emission surface and its even distribution. Simultaneous application of PEMF and FIR exponentiates the beneficial effects of each modality without interfering or disturbing each other.

On top of it, an FIR application feels extremely pleasant, soothing, and relaxing and is very safe and free of noticeable risks.

Can I feel the warmth while using Exagon FIR?

The Exagon FIR contains of an additional layer of carbon fiber wire, which gently warms up over the surface during an application. The exposed warmth can be subjectively felt and experienced.

The temperature can be set prior to an application between 32 °C and 45 °C.

Does it matter on which side I lay down on Exagon FIR?

Please ensure, that you lie on the surface side with the embossed “Exagon Series” logo as the carbon fiber layer is integrated directly below this side of the surface.

Is the temperature value a crucial setting for the efficiency of an FIR application?

As FIR emits thermal and a-thermal radiation, the temperature setting is not necessarily the crucial value with respect to the benefit of the application.

The temperature and therefore the sensation of warmth or heat is more or less a subjective feeling and also depends on your disposition at the time of the respective session.

It is hereby more important to receive the a-thermal wavelengths to greatly benefit from an FIR exposure, the reception of warmth or heat is an additional pleasant sensation, which complements the entire experience.
