Indeed. But TENS devices have additional restrictions. Basically, they are no longer permitted.
In the past, there was no additional issue. They were not VERO items until unfortunate problems arose with imitation products.
TENS devices are very effective. However, a few knockoffs were poorly designed and certain amperage parameters were exceeded. This did cause some uncomfortable but minor skin burns. The genuine units were quite safe. However, the negative publicity influenced the genuine manufacturers to police the listings in an effort to eliminate the issue via the VERO program. It was unsuccessful. Some buyers of the imitation units filed lawsuits against the real companies, not knowing they had bought illegitimate items. Thus, those manufacturers sought a solution for the erroneous litigation. They easily discovered the VERO program, and signed on.
Now they are classified as medical devices by ebay. They are restricted. ebay implemented that policy pre-emptively to avoid being named as co-defendant in possible future litigation.
I just wanted to mention them earlier, just in case somebody were to consider selling those items in the future. No touchie!
