Understanding the Regulatory Position of Tennant Technology
This disclosure explains how Tennant Health describes its technologies, intended uses and educational materials in relation to applicable regulatory terminology and general-wellness positioning.
Tennant Health is not the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and does not speak on behalf of the FDA.
Two Technologies. Different Regulatory Positions.
The Tennant BioTransducer® and Tennant BioModulator® serve different roles within the Tennant System. Their intended uses and regulatory positions should be understood separately.
Tennant BioTransducer®
The BioTransducer® is presented as a contact-free general-wellness technology used within the Tennant System and Dr. Jerry Tennant’s Healing Is Voltage® educational framework.
General-Wellness Purpose
Presented to support overall wellness concepts rather than medical diagnosis or disease treatment.
Contact-Free Technology
Designed to operate without direct electrical stimulation or physical contact with the skin.
Framework-Based Education
Described within the Tennant framework as supporting polarity, energetic balance and whole-body wellness.
The BioTransducer® is not represented as diagnosing, treating, curing, mitigating or preventing disease.
Tennant BioModulator®
The Tennant BioModulator® is an FDA-accepted Class II transcutaneous electrostimulator intended for its applicable pain-relief use. Authorization from a licensed healthcare provider is required.
FDA-Accepted Classification
Classified as a Class II transcutaneous electrostimulator within the applicable medical-device framework.
Applicable Pain-Relief Use
Its regulated medical-device positioning applies to the pain-relief use supported by its current documentation.

FDA acceptance applies specifically to the BioModulator® and its applicable pain-relief use. It does not authorize broader claims that the technology diagnoses, treats, cures, mitigates or prevents diseases beyond its documented intended use.
Understanding the Educational Framework
Tennant Health educational materials may discuss concepts associated with Dr. Jerry Tennant’s Healing Is Voltage® framework. These concepts provide educational context and should be distinguished from each product’s documented regulatory position and intended use.
Polarity and electrical orientation
Cellular voltage concepts
Bioelectric communication
Adaptive biofeedback education
Signaling and responsiveness concepts
Responsible product education
Educational discussions about polarity, voltage, signaling or bioelectric communication do not change a product’s regulatory status, expand its intended use or establish a guarantee of a particular health outcome.
From Individual Experience to Meaningful Research
Many people discover Tennant Health while searching for additional support with serious, persistent or complex health challenges. Their experiences matter—and they can also help identify important questions that deserve careful scientific investigation.
Meaningful observations can become the beginning of better evidence.
Tennant Health has heard from individuals who describe significant changes in their health and quality of life after incorporating Tennant technologies into their broader wellness journey. These experiences are important, but an individual result is not the same as a controlled clinical study or an FDA-accepted indication.
Rather than dismissing promising observations—or presenting them as settled clinical proof—Tennant Health believes they should help guide responsible documentation, thoughtful inquiry and future research.
Different kinds of information answer different questions.
Select each category to understand how Tennant Health distinguishes personal experience, educational theory and formal research.
Personal experiences can reveal important possibilities.
People come to Tennant Health with different histories, healthcare needs, lifestyles and goals. Some report meaningful changes after incorporating Tennant technologies into a broader plan of support. Their experiences deserve to be heard and documented carefully.
An individual account describes that person’s experience.
Results can vary substantially from one person to another.
Other therapies or lifestyle factors may contribute to an outcome.
A personal outcome can identify a question worthy of study.
A testimonial or individual outcome is not proof that a product will produce the same result for another person, and it does not establish a new FDA-accepted use.
Better records help turn observations into questions.
Responsible investigation begins by recording what occurred, including the technology used, the timing of use, other forms of care, relevant measurements and the duration of the reported change.
Identify the specific technology and method of use.
Record relevant timing, frequency and circumstances.
Account for concurrent medical care and lifestyle changes.
Distinguish objective measurements from personal observations.
Careful documentation can help researchers identify patterns, but documentation by itself does not establish causation or clinical effectiveness.
A framework for asking broader questions.
The Healing Is Voltage® framework explores how polarity, cellular voltage and bioelectric communication may relate to the conditions the body uses to support normal cellular function, repair and resilience.
Polarity and electrical orientation
Cellular voltage concepts
Bioelectric communication
Conditions associated with normal cellular function
This framework guides education and continued inquiry. It does not, by itself, prove that a particular technology diagnoses, treats or cures a disease.
Promising questions deserve disciplined investigation.
Tennant Health supports the continued development of structured research into broader applications of bioelectric and voltage-based concepts. Areas of interest include serious and complex challenges such as ALS, autism, macular degeneration and cancer.
Clearly defined research questions and protocols
Appropriate professional and ethical oversight
Relevant measurements and meaningful outcome criteria
Transparent analysis and responsible interpretation
Identifying a condition as an area of research interest does not mean a Tennant technology has been proven or FDA-accepted to diagnose, treat or cure that condition.
