What is AWG ORIGIN® treatment

AWG ORIGIN® treatment refers to the treatment provided at facilities using AWG ORIGIN® devices; in Japan, the name of this treatment or service is also covered by a registered service mark held by an ASIAS group company. Here we set out, based on the facts, the development history and mechanism of the technology, and where ASIAS Corp. and its affiliates stand.

Development history

The developer of AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) technology is Dr. Masayuki Matsuura. Its background includes US Patent 6,424,864 B1 and others, and it has developed as a device that acts on living tissue by combining multiple frequencies.

ASIAS Corp. is the authorized business that develops, manufactures, and sells devices carrying on this technology under the AWG ORIGIN® / QPA® brands (both registered trademarks). For the medical-device certification classes and details of authorized handling, please see the Products page.

About the AWG ORIGIN® treatment name

In Japan, the name of the treatment or service using this technology is covered by a registered service mark held by an ASIAS group company (Registration No. 6320554 and others). On this English site, the treatment is described as AWG ORIGIN® treatment. The brand handled by ASIAS Corp. for the devices and products themselves is "AWG ORIGIN® / QPA®." Because the market also contains similar treatments using different devices or offered by other businesses, the word "AWG" on its own may not be enough to identify which device or which business a treatment uses.

The genuine devices that ASIAS Corp. develops and handles are clearly identified by the registered trademarks AWG ORIGIN® / QPA®. When considering adoption, we recommend confirming that a seller or facility is an authorized one.

Mechanism (research hypothesis)

The cells and tissues that make up the body are said to vibrate at their own characteristic frequencies, and AWG ORIGIN® is a low-frequency therapy device that acts on living tissue by selecting multiple frequencies. ASIAS presents this technical background in connection with research areas such as fascia (the body-wide connective-tissue network), bioelectricity, and EZ water (structured water).

The detailed theoretical background and research hypotheses are explained on the Technology page. These are explanations as research hypotheses and physical models; they do not guarantee the diagnosis, treatment, or cure of any specific disease.

How to receive it, and cost

AWG ORIGIN® (AC5000, AC5100, AC6000) is a low-frequency therapy device classified under category "Machinery and Instruments (12): Instruments for Physical Therapy" as a designated controlled medical device (Class II) and a medical device requiring specified maintenance management (medical device certification numbers: AC6000 303AGBZX00016000 / AC5000 and AC5100 230ADBZX00035000). Ordinary home-use low-frequency therapy devices are characterized under JIS T 2003 ("Household Electrotherapeutic Devices") by a base frequency of 1,200 Hz or below; US Patent 6,424,864 B1, the technical background of AWG ORIGIN®, describes a method that uses multiple frequencies selected from the 1 Hz to 10,000 Hz range, so it is a device with a different class and technical background from a home-use low-frequency therapy device. If you have a pre-existing condition (heart disease, pacemaker use, etc.), please consult your physician and use it in accordance with the precautions in the instruction manual.

When received as a treatment, it is self-pay care (not covered by insurance), and each facility sets its own fees. For specific costs, please contact the treatment provider or clinic you are considering directly.

About authorized handling and facilities

Authorized facilities that use AWG ORIGIN® are listed on the Facilities page. If you are looking for genuine products, please check that page or contact ASIAS Corp. directly.

A 2018 review article, "Cancer pain treatment using an AWG treatment device," by Dr. Toru Fujita (Saranuma Clinic, Eitokukai Medical Corporation) is indexed with bibliographic information in J-GLOBAL. According to the J-GLOBAL record, it appeared in Monthly Medical Science Digest Vol. 44 No. 12, pages 683–684.

In the original paper materials that we keep, ASIAS Corp. is explicitly named as the device seller, and figures of the device in question are included. For this reason, we present it not merely as a document that happens to contain the same name, but as a document in which the relationship between ASIAS Corp. and this device can be confirmed from the original materials.

For the detailed technical background, please see the Technology page. This is an explanation as a research hypothesis and a physical model; it does not guarantee any effect.

Q4

Does AWG ORIGIN® treatment place a burden on the body?

AWG ORIGIN® is a low-frequency therapy device classified as a designated controlled medical device (Class II) and a medical device requiring specified maintenance management. It is used with pads attached to the body. Unlike an ordinary home-use low-frequency therapy device (which JIS T 2003 characterizes as having a base frequency of 1,200 Hz or below), US Patent 6,424,864 B1, the technical background of AWG ORIGIN®, describes a method that uses multiple frequencies selected from the 1 Hz to 10,000 Hz range. Whether it can be used may differ depending on individual physical conditions (heart disease, pacemaker use, etc.), so if you have a pre-existing condition, please consult your physician and use it in accordance with the precautions in the instruction manual.
