The<unk>  Radiation Detector is an instrument used by some chiropractors. It was patented by Irving N.<unk>  in 1971, and was banned from use in the united states in 1982.<unk>  claimed that it detected electromagnetic radiation emanating from vertebral subluxations (small dislocations). The<unk>  consisted of a plastic cylinder with a series of plastic lenses inside, as well as a clear plastic "detection plate". A patient would rub their finger against the detection plate while the<unk>  was held close to an area of their body, and report the degree of perceived resistance against the movement of their fingers. An increase in perceived resistance would indicate which area of the body required chiropractic manipulation.<unk> s were banned by the United States District Court in Wisconsin in January 1982. The Court issued a permanent nationwide injunction against the manufacture, promotion, sale, lease, distribution, shipping, delivery, or use of the<unk>  Radiation Detector, or any product which utilizes the same principles as the<unk>  Radiation Detector. The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit upheld the decision in 1984. According to the United States Food and Drug Administration's, the<unk>  Radiation Detectors were misbranded under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act because they could not be used safely or effectively for their intended purposes. The<unk> s were purportedly being used to assist with the diagnosis and treatment of injuries, without FDA approval. In 2013, David<unk> , nephew of Irving N.<unk> , and the<unk>  Post-Graduate School of Chiropractic were fined for shipping the<unk> s across state borders.
