The null hypothesis is that a cheap boring warm spot lamp would work
just as well but without putting money into the Biotron coffers.

I can't find anything much about it in reputable publications only on
quack medicine sites on the web. Why am I not surprised...

Still the brand name sounds reassuringly medical so that's all right.
And as long as it is only used to cheat the worried well out of their
hard earned cash it is fairly harmless. It gets really serious when
people refuse effective medication and rely on bogus quackery...

I would have a word with your GP about it. They will have heard of it
- rather like the Tens machine it crosses the two poles of
conventional and alternative. Also check out the Tissue repair unit at
Guys they have collected data on the efficacy of this instrument.

I would be more inclined to talk to trading standards.

certified under the International Quality Standard ISO 9001:2000 and
ISO 13485. fulfils all regulations under the medical directive
93/42/EEC of the European Community.

All that says is that they have an ISO certificate on the wall and have
written procedures for how to most effectively rip off the punters.

It says nothing at all about the efficacy of the device or the honesty
of any claims made about it. What is your connection with Biotron?
