Hello LuXXaMed, BCR Therapy and microcurrent users!

2020 is already a few days old and holds a number of surprises and innovations in store. Not only are we entering a new decade, but also because significant regulatory changes are on the horizon for the microcurrent and medical technology industries.

Legislative changes in 2020 – The new Medical Devices Regulation (MDR)

On 26 May, the MDR (Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745) comes into force. The document, published in 2017, contains massive and far-reaching changes for the manufacture and placing on the market of medical devices in Europe.

LuXXaMed GmbH has been working on implementing these requirements since 2018, and we can say that we are already very well positioned to meet them.

Anyone interested in the details of the Medical Devices Regulation – which applies to all medical devices, from clinical thermometers to pacemakers – will find useful reading material here: Medical Devices Regulation

Essentially, it can be said that ‘imports from China’ and those wishing to quickly bring a device for the treatment of pain onto the market are a thing of the past, as this is illegal for operators and sellers.

Microcurrent therapy in 2020

The year 2020 will focus on therapy using microcurrent and LED light. We will be introducing a number of innovations here and exploring the subject even further and in greater depth. The topic of frequency-specific microcurrent has been ‘hyped’ on social media for some time now. Here too, we will be launching courses this year – both online and offline – and providing you with further (new) information.

Social media, podcasts, YouTube and more

Social media is increasingly making its way into the field of health advertising. From Facebook to Instagram, complemented by a video on YouTube and delivered via a professionally produced podcast on Apple iTunes. More and more practices are showcasing themselves and their unique selling points via these platforms, and their success proves them right.

However, it is important to always bear in mind that we are talking here about healthcare advertising, which is subject to specific regulations. In our internal training section, you will find a course on ‘legal-compliance’ healthcare advertising and the background information regarding the basics of correct citation, etc.

Log in to the internal area and watch the 45-minute video on healthcare advertising.

The LuXXaMed podcast is becoming increasingly popular. Whether on iTunes, SoundCloud or Spotify, our audience is growing steadily. For this reason, we’ll continue to focus on this medium in 2020 and deliver further interesting topics. We’re also preparing a number of interviews. So stay tuned and subscribe to our podcast!!!

Dates and training courses

There will be more exciting and informative training courses in 2020. The dates for the training courses will be published in February. However, we can already reveal that there will be seminars featuring physiotherapist Matthias Rother, orthopaedic surgeon Dr Voracek and alternative practitioner Burkhard Hock.
