The FDA classifies colon hydrotherapy machines as Class II medical devices. While they don’t receive “approval” in the same way as medications, reputable manufacturers register their devices with the FDA and comply with applicable regulations. Always verify that your supplier’s equipment is properly registered and meets all regulatory requirements for your location.

Professional-grade colon hydrotherapy equipment typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on features, brand reputation, and included accessories. Entry-level systems start around $8,000, mid-range options fall between $12,000-$18,000, and premium systems with advanced features can exceed $20,000. Many suppliers offer financing options to make this investment more manageable.

Most manufacturers recommend professional servicing of colon hydrotherapy machines every 12 months, with more frequent maintenance checks if the equipment sees heavy use. Daily and weekly maintenance procedures should be performed by operators according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, extends equipment lifespan, and maintains patient safety.

Closed colon hydrotherapy systems use a sealed unit where water enters and waste exits through enclosed tubing, offering greater dignity and odor control. Open systems require the patient to release waste into a basin or toilet. Most modern professional practices prefer closed systems for their improved hygiene, comfort, and professional appearance. All premium suppliers in our list offer closed system technology.

For international purchases of colon hydrotherapy machines, look for ISO 13485:2016 certification (medical device quality management), CE marking (European conformity), and compliance with local regulatory requirements. Reputable international suppliers will provide documentation of these certifications and assist with any import requirements for your country.
