Re: Matrix L33 Relamp kit
Don,
Here’s the way I understand it, and pardon me if I don’t have a Piled Higher & deeper in BS.
1. The only “compatibility sheets” for a reflector, socket, or wiring exist solely in your mind. There is no such thing, just as there is no such thing as a “compatibility sheet” for an acrylic or a ballast or a starter or any other very frequently changed tanning bed component. Maybe you’ve got the FDA confused with UL or ETL?
2. Please tell me ONE high pressure lamp manufacturer (maybe like Tan America!!) that has issued compatibility sheets in either direction for high pressure lamps. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE………So I guess all those companies must be just holding their breath waiting to go to jail, huh?
3.My source inside the FDA says that HP lamps are not high on their enforcement list because they are always used in conjunction with filter glass, and filter glass….oh wait, maybe filter glass is one of those things that you ALSO need a compatibility sheet for, like ballasts and sockets and reflectors? The source also says that they have got much bigger radiological fish to fry (as far as spending their limited resources), such as lasers, X-rays, cell phones, etc. than to worry about trying to figure out how to determine whether somebody got overexposed from getting MED’s from the pool, playground or beach, or from the Electric Beach tanning salon in Hometown USA. Of course, I can’t tell you who that source is, because they’re the same source who told me that they try to avoid you like the plague due to your frequent off-the-wall-mad-scientist-the-sky-is-falling Chicken Little impersonation, and because of how you usurp all the public’s allotted time anytime there’s a TPRSCC forum and refuse to let anybody with a different, more moderate, opinion be heard.
4. “Manufacturer of record” only applies to equipment which has been altered in such a manner to substantially change the exposure time. Since the “manufacturer” of both these models of units is and ALWAYS HAS BEEN ISO Italia, and since the exposure times are AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN the same, seems as though this is yet another one of your hot air dirigibles meant to confuse the issue to the unsuspecting and sometimes naïve salon owner. Please direct me (and all the uneducated readers of this thread) to the specific language in 21 CFR 1040.20 that say if you change one HID lamp reflector for another, made BY THE SAME MANUFACTURER as the first, that this somehow makes the bed owner the new manufacturer. The fact of the matter is, Tan America never made the unit, and you know it. “Manufacturer of record” is not the manufacturer, it’s what Tan America called itself in order to expedite the FDA importation paperwork. If you’d like ISO Italia’s FDA facility registration number, look it up online. And while you’re at it, look on the back of every single Matrix unit of any configuration ever sold in America, there’s a little silver plate that has the manufacturer’s name on it, says “ISO Italia”.
5. ISO Italia and any of its authorized distributors, including URI, stand behind the legality of these retrofit lamp/reflector kits.
6. Yes I am a salesman, and I’m proud of it. And people trust me, and I’m proud of that as well. They know they can get straight, common sense information out of me and the company I work for (and get paid from), which is more than what can be said for other people who, like the old time snake oil salesmen, take paychecks from whatever company they’re being paid to cook up test numbers for.
