Fake Biomats
Don’t be fooled by low prices and looks alone.
With the rise of the internet and mall marketing sites such as Amazon and Alibaba, shopping is easier than ever. Websites like Kickstarter make it easy to showcase a new product concept and raise the funds to make the product a reality.
However, with the ease of convenience comes a few perturbing, and in some cases, hazardous down sides.
Knockoff Amazon Biomats - Fake Products on Amazon and Other Stores:
You may have noticed that when you search for a Biomat online, there are many cheaper, lower quality knock offs available.
We do not carry our products on Amazon, but if you search for an Amazon Biomat mat, you will find an array of companies copying our product with lower standards of quality, safety and regulation. When it comes to Biomat alternatives (such as the Healthyline biomat), the saying ‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be more true.
Key Distinctions that set our Biomat apart from competitors are:
Here's what you should know about Amazon Biomats:
For business owners and product innovators, the growth of the internet and internet mall marketing websites has been both a blessing and a curse. While the internet makes it easier for visionaries to get their products out onto the market, it also makes it easier for those willing to replicate ideas for their own gain. In the modern age, a new product concept could be advertised or posted to a site like Kickstarter, and a knockoff of that very product could be advertised for sale on Amazon or Alibaba by a copycat manufacturer in a matter of weeks.
CNBC reported on this very issue this time last year. Many reputable businesses are feeling the effects from knockoff Amazon Biomats, particularly from China, that undercut on price and gain the unknowing shopper’s attention through questionable business practices, such as jumping seller ranks on Amazon through an abundance of fraudulent positive reviews or making dubious claims and comparisons regarding the knockoff product.
Furthermore, while it is easy enough to copy the look of a product and have it look the same to the average Joe or Jane, the overall quality, functionality, and effectiveness of the final product are what truly matters.
The Biomat®, Knockoff Heating Pads,and FDA registered medical device Registration Compliance
Unlike Amazon "Biomat" Knockoffs, we are registered as a medical device
The Biomat® is an FDA-registered Class II medical device
FDA Registration #2954299
To the average consumer, it may seem like a sweet deal to purchase a heating pad that looks the same as an original Biomat with a lower cost. While in some cases, cheaper items can be considered a substantial value, like most other cases, Biomat knockoffs are a prime example of “you get what you pay for.” Be wary of Amazon Biomat knockoffs.
Richway & Fuji Bio Inc is the official importer, specification developer and complaint file establishment for the Biomat® and as the manufacturer through Richway & Life Co. (R&L) in South Korea. This means that Richway & Fuji Bio Inc is completely responsible for the designing, developing, manufacturing, and servicing of the Biomat®.
While most of these knockoff competitors claim they are FDA registered medical devices registered to sell their brand of basic heating pads, a quick search from the FDA database will reveal that many of these distributors are not registered as they say. To be completely compliant with the FDA as a distributor of a medical device, the manufacturer and importer/distributor of the product must be registered with the FDA.
The parties must be listed as such. Some manufacturers of knockoff heating pads are registered with the FDA registered medical device. However, the importer/distributor and entity handling quality control (company in the United States) are usually not registered.
This further proves that they are not involved in the manufacturing of their products. Richway & Fuji Bio and our contract manufacturer, Richway & Life (R&L) Co., are both currently registered with the FDA in a compliant manner.
Studies, Tests, and Certifications
On the other hand, the Biomat® itself has been the main subject of a few studies and featured in a few books. Dr. George Grant of the International Academy of Wellness (IAW) conducted a study on the Biomat which is published in the Prime International Journal of Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine.Unlike the knockoff products currently on the market, the Biomat has undergone rigorous testing and has many certifications to prove its safety and efficacy. The Biomat has been properly registered with the US FDA registered medical device, South Korean FDA registered medical device, and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan as a medical device. The Biomat has also been certified for electrical safety.
Our CSA certification indicates the Biomat and Bio-belt™ have been evaluated by CSA and found to comply with their requirements for their standards. The CSA certification provides increased assurance of quality and safety to consumers.
Richway & Fuji Bio and R&L also currently have the ISO 13485 certification indicating our quality management systems have been audited and certified to meet the standards of the International Standards Organization.
Do Your Research and Buy with Confidence
Also, be wary of what you read on the internet. Not all reviews and health blogs are legitimate. This includes Amazon Biomat reviews. Some reviewers receive kickbacks for positive reviews. Do your research and check multiple sources, so you can make an informative purchase that’s worth your hard-earned money.

“I first experienced the Biomat at a health expo. After 10 minutes of laying on it I was amazed that it relieved my minor hip and knee pain that I’d been unable to find relief from after several different treatments including chiropractic and physical therapy. We opened a holistic skincare and cosmetics spa, I insisted we include the Biomat. Since using the Biomat regularly in conjunction with drinking alkaline ionized water, I have been pleasantly surprised at the improvement. I am so happy how much better I feel and how much more energy I now have. I look forward to sharing it with as many people as I can.”
"My wife and I are very active an exercise regularly. I am a dentist and because of the nature of my profession, many times I have lower back or neck pain. We both look forward to the 30-40 minutes we spend on the Biomat to help alleviate temporary aches and pains and in addition find that our energy level is rejuvenated. We highly endorse this product and recommend it to anyone who is very active or those suffering from temporary pain."

"As a researcher and promoter of quality health products, I am always searching for the most effective. Personally, I am very electro-magnetic sensitive, which limits my time and use of some wonderful products. What I found most interesting with the Amethyst Biomat is that it seems my core resistance to electro-magnetics is positively effected. I can go to the grocery store, use other electrical products, sit at the computer and even on the phone much longer than before."
"I am a massage therapist and my hands were beginning to hurt when I would do treatments. Sometimes they would also swell up and it would hurt to bend my fingers. The Biomat has changed that. I use the Biomat on my patient and receive healing myself. I am also overweight. The Biomat has reduced my pain, swelling and stress. Can't get much better than that!"
"I had chronic aches and pains throughout my whole body and I was constantly exhausted; I was stuck in stress mode. Within three months of using the biomat, my aches and pains disappeared and I finally felt that I had caught up on the sleep that I had been craving. I had mental clarity. I was totally renewed, rejuvenated, and I could sustain my energy again. Now, when I jump on for 15 minutes, any imbalances or stresses in my body are resolved quickly. The biomat has truly saved my life."
"Laying on the mat gave me a great deal of comfort. I feel relaxed. Walking on clouds. Amazing experience. The mat brought calm, relaxation and good feeling. I will recommend it to everyone. Try it once and you will not regret it. Thank you!"
"As for me, I love it too. It was a wonderful tool to have access to at the Pain Clinic. After (10-15 min.) on High Gold I felt relaxed in my muscles and it eased the minor pain so that I was able to be present in class."
