BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, High Tech Health International, Inc., a leading supplier of infrared saunas for health, announces they have been awarded patent US 9,770,386 for their invention of the first infrared sauna heater that is simultaneously low in both electric field and magnetic field EMF (electromagnetic fields). By mitigating all the kinds of EMF, this invention negates any health risk from prolonged exposure to EMF in the sauna. Typical infrared saunas expose the user to significantly higher electric fields and magnetic fields than virtually any other product in the home. Prior to this invention, the best infrared sauna heaters either had low electric fields or low magnetic fields, but never both. This invention makes High Tech Health infrared saunas one of the lowest EMF electrical products in the home.

Vitatech Electromagnetics, a third-party EMF engineering company, confirms High Tech Health International's achievement: their identification and measurement of the largest fields located at the surface of High Tech Health's backrest heater found a maximum electric field that is 91% lower than Vitatech's recommended long-term human health maximum exposure of 1 volt/meter, and a maximum magnetic field that is 72% lower than Vitatech's recommended maximum exposure of 12.57 milligauss. At the surface of the backrest in the sauna, the maximum magnetic field was found to be only 0.36 milligauss, or 97% lower than Vitatech's recommended maximum exposure level.

Erik Johnson, CEO of High Tech Health and the inventor behind the patent, adds "Not only did we make the first third-party proven low electric field heater, we made the first lowest total EMF heater. Electric field levels at the surface of heaters in competing saunas are hundreds to literally thousands of times higher than Vitatech's recommended maximum prolonged exposure level. Health practitioners have been asking for a truly low EMF infrared sauna for a long time and we are excited to be able to bring it to them."
