Therapy System, Model 4201 - The Provant Wound Therapy System is a solid-state, fixed-power output radio frequency generator and transmitter designed to operate at the FCC authorized medical device frequency of 27.12 MHz. Provant transmits a fixed dose of non-ionizing, non-thermal RF energy via an applicator pad that is placed adjacent to the patient's dressed wound. The Provant Wound Therapy System is indicated for adjunctive use in the palliative treatment o
In the course of device testing, the firm determined that the affected devices may, under certain unusual
clinical circumstance, be unable to generate a therapeutic dose of radio frequency energy. As such,
for these few devices, the effectiveness of Provant therapy may be impaired.
