Executive Summary
Receives May 4 warning letter from FDA for promotional claims of the company's MyoPlex 6000 muscle stimulator. Statements that the Myo-Plex provides "'[relief] of pain; removal of edema; muscle relaxation; rehabilitation of injured tissues'"; and other claims, "extend beyond the original intended use of a muscle stimulator," the agency contends.
