HYPERICE.

Six product lines, from a $129 heated patch to a $1,549 full-body compression system. Hyperice publishes real 510(k) numbers where clearances exist and makes no FDA claim at all where they do not — which is more than can be said of most of this category. What it does not publish, anywhere, is a warranty term.

SIX WAYS IN.

Worth knowing

HOW HYPERICE DOCUMENTS ITSELF.

Credit where due

It publishes real K-numbers

Where a Hyperice device is FDA cleared, the number is printed and you can look it up. Where one is not cleared, Hyperice makes no FDA claim at all. By contrast, six Therabody products carry an “FDA Registered” badge — a facility listing rather than a device review — and none of the nine Therabody products making an FDA claim publishes a K-number.

The gap

No warranty term, anywhere

Not on the $129 Venom Go, not on the $1,549 Normatec 3 Full Body. Therabody states one year on every product it sells. If length of cover matters to you, that asymmetry is real and it runs the whole catalogue.

The category gap

No amplitude, no stall force

Not on any Hypervolt — but this one is not a Hyperice failing. No percussion device from either brand publishes stroke length or stall force, across thirteen models from $109 to $649.99.
