## Details

- Record Type: WARNING_LETTER
- Company Name: Meditherm Inc.
- Product Type: Devices
- Office Name: Center for Devices and Radiological Health
- Summary: The FDA issued a Warning Letter to Meditherm, Inc. regarding their Meditherm Med2000 device (K003332). The FDA found the company is marketing the device for uncleared uses and making false/misleading claims, violating the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The website also lists 76 specific conditions, such as neoplasias and alcoholism, for which the device is promoted, which are outside its cleared indications.

Furthermore, the device is misbranded under section 502(a) because
