			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UVB NB Systems are available from off-shore vendors in Israel, Europe and Australia.</p>
<p>I do recommend that you be very cautious for several reasons:</p>
<p>The offshore vendor may be (usually is) offering product(s) that are not approved for use or sale in the USA.</p>
<ul>
<li>Products from these vendors are sometimes stopped by US Customs and or the FDA and are typically rejected and you are out of cash!
<ul>
<li>If there are are any warranty issues, returning products for testing/repair can be very very expensive!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>If there are any legal issues then dealing with foreign vendors can be a problem.</li>
<li>If you are foolhardy enough to purchase overseas then always use a credit card so that if necessary you can try to get any payment or part of a payment reversed by your credit card company.</li>
<li>Some of these companies say &#8220;No Prescription Needed&#8221; &#8211; This should be a red-flag to you! All UV Ultraviolet systems require a prescription in the USA. If you purchase a non-FDA certified product then you may be in breech of sevreal laws.</li>
<li>Just because the lamps used are possibly FDA Certified, this does not mean that the system or final product is.</li>
<li>Check the voltage and frequency. Here in the USA we use 115V 60 Hz. A lot of offshore products operate at 220V/50Hz</li>
</ul>
<p>There are several vendors/manufacturers here in the USA and we all sell devices that are 510K Certified by the FDA.</p>
