ICES DigiCeutical A9
A small, candidly experimental two-coil generator that publishes a conditional 200-gauss peak and documents its burst waveform, but does not state a clean operating frequency for its fixed auto-protocol.
This device does not publish a field strength in real units alongside a stated frequency, so it is capped on Verified Field Spec, our heaviest dimension. Read a low band here as "the field claim cannot be checked", not a judgement on how it feels to use - which is not something we score. The regulatory, programmability, and coverage rows below tell the rest.
Flags
- · States a field strength but no frequency, so the figure cannot be read as a usable spec or compared.

Who it is for
Who should skip it
- · Anyone who wants to know the actual field strength and frequency - this device does not publish a usable spec
- · Value-focused buyers - it scores poorly on what we weight
How it scored
Verified Field Spec
0.0/10 · 30%A magnetic flux density in real units (microtesla or gauss) published WITH a stated frequency in Hz, ideally with the waveform. A unit-less intensity level or a peak with no frequency is not a usable spec.
- ·Field figure, but no stated frequency C20000 µT, no frequency - A field strength with no stated frequency is not a usable spec - the same number means very different things at different frequencies.
Regulatory Honesty
2.0/10 · 20%A real FDA 510(k) clearance (rare in consumer PEMF) versus FDA registration/listing used as if it were a clearance, plus electrical/EMC certification, recall history, and warranty.
- +1No FDA clearance claimed Cnone claimed - Makes no FDA claim, which at least avoids dressing registration up as a clearance.
- +1Warranty B1-year - Carries a manufacturer warranty.
Frequency & Programmability
3.0/10 · 15%Whether frequency and intensity are adjustable across a stated range, and whether control is programmable.
- +3Adjustable intensity Bintensity selectable - Lets you set the field intensity.
Coverage & Applicators
5.0/10 · 15%What the device actually covers: a full-body mat, a targeted local coil, or a wearable, and how many applicators it drives.
- +2Targeted local applicator Ctargeted coil - A local coil treats one area at a time.
- +3Multiple applicators C2 applicators - Drives more than one applicator, for example a mat plus a local coil.
Value
5.0/10 · 20%Price against the median for its format (full-body mat, targeted coil, or wearable).
- +5Price vs format median A$449 (below class median) - Price scored against the median for its format. Format median about $599.
What to know before buying
- · Publishes a conditional 200-gauss peak (only with coils stacked) and documents its ICES burst waveform, but states no clean operating frequency for its fixed auto-protocol, so the field dimension is capped.
- · Sold candidly as an experimental/research device; no FDA 510(k) clearance is claimed.
- · A small battery-powered two-coil generator; inexpensive for the category.
FAQ
- Why is the Micro-Pulse A9's field dimension capped if it documents its waveform?
- It publishes a conditional 200-gauss peak (only with coils stacked) and documents its ICES burst waveform, but states no clean operating frequency for its fixed auto-protocol. In our scoring a field figure with no stated frequency is not a usable spec, so we cap and flag the field; the documented waveform is noted as transparency but does not lift the cap.
- Is the Micro-Pulse A9 a cleared medical device?
- No. It is sold candidly as an experimental/research device and claims no FDA 510(k) clearance, so we credit no clearance on our regulatory axis. We score only what it discloses about its specs, not any outcome.
