Affordable Heathcare
So I finished all the treatments with my Exogen Ultrasound Bone Healing System. Based on my research, I really believe it did jumpstart my "delayed union". After the 185th daily dose I got this message on the screen. Did some digging online and found no information about how to reset the device other than it can't be. Seems the unit has only been approved by the FDA for that number of uses. Additional treatments if needed would require a doctor's prescription and a brand new qizmo. I called the rep from Bioventus and she said to just throw it away - it won't function any longer (that certainly takes care of any secondary market resale value!). My new goal in life is to hack this silly little machine, or find someone who can - UK Neil, wanna take a stab at this project? If anything, I think I could easily rewire the power that lights the screen to a couple of LEDs and make a rechargeable flashlight out of it. Doesn't seem quite right to simply throw away something my insurance company paid $4500 for. 75,80,60,T,0
