Health Canada Guidelines & Statements

PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION:

Health Canada has deemed NeurOptimal® a consumer product. This means that it is NOT a licensed medical device, drug or natural health product. Therefore, one can only make non-therapeutic claims about NeurOptimal® in its advertising.

To ensure that NeurOptimal®’s advertising is non-therapeutic, claims must not imply the diagnosis, treatment, mitigation of a disease, disorder or abnormal physical state or symptoms. Additionally, claims about NeurOptimal® must not suggest the restoration, modification or correction of the body’s structure. Only drugs and medical devices are permitted to make such claims, provided they are approved under a license issued by Health Canada.

PERMISSIBLE CLAIMS:

In general, claims made about NeurOptimal® should be limited to statements that describe:

  • how NeurOptimal® works and performs
  • the materials and other components used to make and implement NeurOptimal®
  • the quality of NeurOptimal®

The Competition Act (“Act”) regulates all advertising in Canada. Specifically, the Act prohibits making a false or misleading representation. Therefore, all claims about NeurOptimal® must be accurate, true and substantiated before they are advertised. For example, to advertise a claim like “#1 neurofeedback system in Canada based on sales”, one would need to have valid and up to date sales data that supports the fact that it is the most sold neurofeedback system in Canada. We also recommend that one keep any records on file as evidence that it can support the claims it is making about NeurOptimal®.

EXAMPLES:

For illustration purposes, we have prepared the following list of potential claims that one could use to market NeurOptimal®. One would, of course, need to have evidence to support that these claims are true, and will still need to ensure that they do not imply that NeurOptimal® is a therapeutic or health product/service.

What is NeurOptimal® Dynamical Neurofeedback®?
NeurOptimal® Neurofeedback is a sophisticated brain training tool designed to help optimize your life that was developed by clinical psychologists. It has evolved over the last 30 years from two individuals offering training Sessions in their private office to literally 4+ million sessions logged and thousands of people using it on a regular basis.

The NeurOptimal® system measures the differences in the electrical signal emitted from the scalp. This electrical signal is mathematically measured 256 times per second, by voltage changes and is read through the NeurOptimal® software program which initiates an interruption in the audio/video stream as it detects when a change is about to happen. This small minute interruption is enough to warrant the individual to notice.

Combining the exclusive Dynamical Neurofeedback® brain electrical signal measuring with captivating audiovisuals, Training with NeurOptimal® allows an individual to observe their brain activity and optimize their mindset. It is a unique tool for catalyzing personal transformation.

How do NeurOptimal® Sessions Work?
NeurOptimal® is effortless brain training. After applying 3 clips and 2 small sensors, you simply relax in a recliner, watch the custom visualizer and listen to captivating music. NeurOptimal® does the rest. NeurOptimal®’s Dynamical Neurofeedback® technology measures brain behavior from .01 hertz to 64 hertz, collecting and analyzing data 256X per second or, 500,000+ times in a single Session. This sophisticated process is exclusive to NeurOptimal®, Dynamical Neurofeedback®. With NeurOptimal®’s revolutionary AutoNAV feature, world-class Neurofeedback Training is accessible anywhere!
