FlexBeam
Class II exempt, not cleared, despite an FDA Cleared badge appearing elsewhere on their own site. The NIR-heavy configuration is genuinely well suited to joints.
Redot L
The value pick, and the only mat that states the exact conditions of its measurement. Read 510(k) exempt as registered, not cleared: BestQool never submitted this to the FDA for review.
