What class of laser would this be considered?

TECHNICAL PARAMETERS

Laser wave length: Laser diode AIGalnp 635-650nm
Maxinum output power:60W
Power of Each Diode Laser:100mw
Output Intensity:3.0W/CM2(Belly),3.6W/CM2(Thigh),2.4W/CM2(Arm),1.5W/CM2(Face)

Need to know what FDA class this would be considered. Hoping that it is a class 1 laser.

Here is the link to the laser:

Class 4 if its not a typo 60w ??? Is hugely powerful ..or 3b if over 5mW to 500 mW

If the beam exits the machine and outputs 500mW or higher, it's a class IV laser.

Not 100% sure how this thing works... are many 100mW beams from the different diodes combined?

100mW is class IIIb.

from wikipedia:

Class IIIb
Lasers in this class may cause damage if the beam enters the eye directly. This generally applies to lasers powered from 5–500 mW. Lasers in this category can cause permanent eye damage with exposures of 1/100th of a second or less depending on the strength of the laser. A diffuse reflection is generally not hazardous but specular reflections can be just as dangerous as direct exposures. Protective eyewear is recommended when direct beam viewing of Class IIIb lasers may occur. Lasers at the high power end of this class may also present a fire hazard and can lightly burn skin.

Class-3B lasers must be equipped with a key switch and a safety interlock.

Also:

That is an unlicensed/illegal laser for medical use in the USA. Not to mention potentially dangerous quack science.

Oh, sure you are :shhh:

1) Marketing department adds wild medical claims to anything with LASER in the title.

2) Poor (not financially, but cognitively) bastards purchase the product.

3) Cured by placebo effect.
