Safety & Usage Guidelines

Last updated on Apr 30, 2026

Are Schumann devices safe?

Yes. Our devices generate low-intensity, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields well within international safety standards. They are CE, FCC, and UKCA certified, and every unit is tested before shipping. The field intensity close to the device is roughly comparable to a typical fridge magnet, far below anything known to cause harm.

Are they FDA approved?

No. Our devices are wellness tools, not medical devices, and they have not been evaluated by the FDA. They are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. We make no medical claims about our products.

Should I check with my doctor before using a Schumann device?

If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a medical condition, or have any concerns at all, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before using the device. The same applies if anyone in your household has a pacemaker, defibrillator, or other implanted medical device. This is the same precaution you would take with any electronic device.

Are they safe for children?

Yes. Many parents use our devices in nurseries and children's bedrooms. The field is low-intensity, non-ionizing, silent, and produces no heat. That said, every household is different, and if you have specific concerns about your child, consult a pediatrician before introducing the device.

Are they safe around pets?

Yes. Pets often gravitate toward the device on their own, choosing to rest or nap nearby when it's on. The field is silent and emits no heat, vibration, or sound, so there's nothing to disturb dogs, cats, or other animals.

How should sensitive individuals start?

If you tend to be sensitive to environmental changes, start gradually. Use the device for one hour per day for the first week, then slowly increase your usage over the following 1 to 2 weeks as your body adjusts. Most users settle into all-day or overnight use within a few weeks, but there's no rush.

Can I leave the device running 24/7?

Yes. Our devices are designed for continuous use and can stay plugged in indefinitely. The internal charging system stops drawing power when the battery is full, so leaving them docked won't damage the battery.
