THE ELLIS MICRO-DYNAMETER, A BANNED QUACK MEDICAL DEVICE

127: THE ELLIS MICRO-DYNAMETER, A BANNED QUACK MEDICAL DEVICE

The notorious contraption that was not only farcical, but in the opinion of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago, dangerous. The court described the Ellis Micro-Dynameter as, 'not safe for use even in the hands of a licensed practitioner.' and 'A device whose labeling claims it to be an aid in diagnosing as many diseases as this one, when in fact it is not, is unsafe for use no matter who uses it..'
Measures 59 x 20.5 x 10.5 inches.
The condition appears to be intact and good.
$300 - $400
