From Conversation to Certification: How working with Gauss Labs Actually Works
When you send your equipment to a third-party lab, you should know what the process looks like before it starts. Ours is four steps over about three weeks, with regular updates throughout.
Step 1. Schedule a Call
We start with a call to discuss your requirements. It runs 30 to 60 minutes. It's a working session, not a sales pitch.
We'll ask about your machine specs and which accessories you want tested. If you have internal test data, send it.
By the end of the call, you'll either have a proposal with a timeline in your inbox within a few business days, or a clear answer that we're not the right fit.
Step 2. Send Us Your Devices
Once the proposal is approved, please ship your devices and accessories to Gauss Labs.
Send everything required to run the device across all settings: the unit, the accessories from the proposal, and the cabling, power supplies, or supporting equipment. Also send your product documentation (user manual, internal spec sheet, and any performance claims you've made about the device).
Step 3. We'll Analyze Your Equipment
The analysis splits into two tests: Device and Accessory.
Device analysis focuses on the unit's waveform. What does each pulse look like? How fast does the field rise? How does it decay? Oscilloscope captures give us rise time, fall time, slew rate, peak dB/dt, and pulse balance. By Faraday's law, what stimulates tissue is the rate of change of the field, not the peak field. So a 5,000 Gauss pulse with a sharp edge can deliver more stimulus than a 21,000 Gauss pulse with a slow rise.
Accessory analysis focuses on the coil. Where does the field peak? Where does it fall off? Is coverage symmetric? Multi-axis scans answer those questions and produce a heatmap, a falloff profile, and spatial metrics: peak field, total effective flux, concentration score, effective field diameter, and field symmetry. We also measure the coil's electrical properties: resistance, inductance, and how quickly it charges up. Two coils with the same peak Gauss can differ dramatically on these.
We run our tests on calibrated equipment using well-documented methods that can be repeated by another lab. Our test results are compared to your documentation to verify your device and coil are performing as expected.
The work usually takes two to three weeks for a single device with one accessory, and longer for larger portfolios. Your proposal has the exact timeframe.
Step 4. Review Your Results
When the analysis is complete, the certification package lands in your inbox:
Step 5. We'll Return Your Equipment
Send us a return label. We'll carefully pack up your equipment and ship it back.
What this is, and what it isn't
Our certification is based on measured performance , not theory. It isn't FDA or CE clearance, and it isn't a clinical efficacy claim. However, our test results support those clearances.
The cost of postponing
The market is shifting, whether the industry admits it yet or not. Buyers know more every quarter. Competitors are publishing independent test data. When buyers compare two manufacturers, the one with a third-party report tends to win.
What changes after certification
Once the certification is in your marketing materials, sales calls get easier. When measurements come up, you can confidently share that you're Gauss Labs certified, and your buyers can verify it on the public registry themselves. Internally, our analysis almost always uncovers something useful for your product team, and your marketing team gets ready-made high-resolution charts.
The example reports show exactly what you'll receive, with the same format, depth, and methodology. The first call is a conversation about your device, with no commitment.
Talk to us about certifying your equipment.
Each proposal is tailored to your specific device and accessories. The initial conversation costs nothing, and we'll tell you up front whether your certification needs are a fit for what we do.
