Does the Biomat Emit EMFs

Electrical Outlet

More and more people are become aware of their environment and the impact it has on their health. Some people have been sick for years with no answers from their doctors.  It is with their own research and through trial and error that they discover that they are being impacted by Electromagnetic Fields (EMF’s).  When you are trying to regain your health, the last thing you want to do is to undermine any of your health investment (time, money and your physical body) by choosing medical devices that do good, but also emit high levels of EMF’s.  Richway, the company that makes the Far Infrared Amethyst Biomat is aware of this concern and has taken great measures to protect Biomat users from harmful EMF rays.

Electromagnetic Fields is a term used to describe the invisible electric and magnetic fields radiating out from man-made devices that use alternating electrical current.  EMFs are emitted from all electrical appliances in the home, office, factories, in cars, trucks, buses and overhead streetcar and train lines.  Readings for EMFs will vary by location as each city has different qualities of electricity, thus impacting the readings people get.

Here is a summary of what Richway has incorporated into the Biomat construction to minimize users exposure to EMF’s:

  • Biomat EMF Interceptor. The Biomat EMF Interceptor is within the control unit of the Biomat.  The controller has the most advanced IC chip to cut off electromagnetic waves. It acts the same was as a lightening rod by safely conducting the EMF energy away to the ground.  This safely reduces your EMF exposure.
  • EMF layers of fabric. Special layersof fabric within the 17 layers of material which make up the BioMat provide and added layer of protection.
  • Converting Electricity from AC current to DC current.Within the control unit, there is technology that converts the electricity from harmful AC (Alternating Current) electricity to DC (Direct Current) electricity which is more harmonious to the body.

All Amethyst Biomat products have been tested for EMFs by TUV SUD for Electromagnetic Fields and were found to be in compliance with IEC 62233 (ed 1.) and EN 62233:2008.

The Biomat has also passed the standards for electrical safety in Korea, Japan, Russia and the International Electrical Safety Board.

While I do not personally have an EMF meter, EMF meter (a tool commonly used to measure EMFs), I do have colleagues who do and have tested the Biomat.  Based on their testing that I’ve seen, when you hold the EMF meter over the Biomat, you would see that it registers at zero over the main body of the Biomat, but there are readings where the electrical cord connects in to the Biomat.  There would also be readings on the cord that goes from the electrical outlet in your wall to the Biomat controller.  There may be low readings over the controller and the cord leading to the Biomat and where it connects to it.  For this reason, some people who are sensitive to EMFs have the plug at their feet and not at their head when they use the Biomat as  precaution.

If you have any questions about the Biomat, or it’s technology, please feel free to contact us.

    Dear,

    Thank you for the nice article.

    You mentioned “There may be low readings over the controller and the cord leading to the Biomat and where it connects to it”

    I understand that the electric current enters the controller as AC and leaves as DC. How can I get a low reading using a magnetic field meter at the cord leading to the Biomat and where it connects to it, when these meters only measure AC magnetic fields and not DC magnetic fields?

    “The Biomat EMF Interceptor is within the control unit of the Biomat. The controller has the most advanced IC chip to cut off electromagnetic waves. It acts the same was as a lightening rod by safely conducting the EMF energy away to the ground. This safely reduces your EMF exposure.”

    What does the EMF interceptor filter out? Electric fields? Magnetic fields? harmonics? high frequency voltage transients? Radio frequencies?

    Can the Biomat be powered by a DC current like a battery?

    How long are the wires from the plug to the controller, and from the controller to the Biomat?

    Best regards,

      Yousef,
      Thank you for your excellent questions. I personally do not have a Gauss meter, a few of my colleagues do. From one of the websites I looked at to understand more about what a Gauss meter will measure it says ” A gauss meter displays electromagnetic wave measurements in Gauss (G), milliGauss (mG), milliTesla (mT) or microTesla (µT) units. A gauss meter can detect either static (DC) permanent (rare-earth) magnetic or dynamic (AC) electromagnetic fields (EMFs), or both.” Since I didn’t do the tests personally, I do not know what setting they had the device on when they did their measurements.

      I’ll contact head office to get more details on the answer to your second question.

      The Biomat cannot be powered by a DC current (I’ve had other clients who were in an RV ask the same question), it’s been designed to receive AC current, since that is what most people have access to.

      On the Professional Model of the Biomat, the wire from the controller to the Biomat and from the electrical plug to the controller are the same length 5’2″

      Please email me if you have any further questions.
