Warranty & Repairs: Peace of Mind with The Fischer
Extended Warranty for Long-Term Support
RA Fischer Co. provides an industry-leading 4-Year Warranty, giving customers peace of mind and support for years. In contrast, Drionic only offers a 6-month warranty, leaving users vulnerable to added repair or replacement costs after a short period.
Hassle-Free Domestic Repairs
Shipping a device internationally for repairs can be inconvenient and costly, as is often the case with Drionic. However, The Fischer ensures a streamlined repair process. Our devices can be shipped directly to our headquarters in Moorpark, CA, reducing time and expense while maximizing customer satisfaction.
Cost Analysis: The True Price of Proprietary Batteries
In contrast, The Fischer provides results with just 15 to 20-minute sessions, 2–3 times a week. Patients often achieve optimal dryness within the first week and gradually reduce treatment frequency.
The Hidden Costs of Drionic
Drionic devices rely on proprietary batteries, which drive up long-term ownership costs. Here’s a breakdown:
- Battery life: 10–12 half-hour treatments per battery.
- Usage requirements: Up to 56 treatments during the first six weeks of use.
- Yearly costs: $80+ per extremity for batteries alone.
Additionally, Drionic’s aluminum electrodes corrode over time, requiring regular replacements, further adding to the expense.
The Fischer: A Cost-Effective Solution
Unlike Drionic, The Fischer uses a plug-in power source, eliminating the need for costly battery replacements. The durable silicon-graphite electrodes are corrosion-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability without ongoing maintenance expenses.
Superior Design: Safety and Usability
Drionic’s Design Shortcomings
- Aluminum electrodes: Prone to corrosion, potentially releasing aluminum ions into the water.
- Limited coverage: The device design doesn’t fully immerse the palms or soles, reducing treatment efficacy.
- Inefficient controls: A basic thumbwheel for current adjustment means users can’t accurately measure or control milliamp output.
- Unnecessary discomfort: Sensitive areas, like fingernails, are submerged despite not sweating.
The Fischer: Designed for Comfort and Precision
The Fischer device solves these issues with thoughtful, user-friendly features:
- Metal-free silicon electrodes: Safe, corrosion-resistant, and treat 33% more surface area.
- Ergonomic trays: Provide natural, comfortable placement for hands and feet.
- Comprehensive controls: Buttons allow precise adjustments to treatment levels, ensuring a consistent and effective experience.
FDA Compliance: Why It Matters
The Risks of Non-Compliance
An FDA warning letter against Drionic cited concerns about the company’s failure to meet manufacturing standards. This raises serious questions about the safety and reliability of their devices.
