Is there a difference between gravity flow and a Colon Hydrotherapy system?
Yes, most differently. Both in the definition by federal law and the use and the effect. A gravity flow system is a Class l and is defined in 876.5210 as a Enema Kit, which is over the counter and does not need a prescription. But this is just to clean the lower bowel and does not have the ability to do the entire colon. They are to say they are giving a Enema and not a Colonic. A colonic or Colon Hydrotherapy is reserved for a Colon Irrigation system classification ll as defined in the Federal Law 876.5220. Telling someone they are being given a colonic on a Class l device is defined by Federal Law as “OFF MARKET LABELING” Like selling someone a aspirin to cure heart disease. These laws can be looked up on the FDA website under the above statute number.
