What does RFC mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

Radiofrequency current (RFC) is a form of energy that's used in medical and technological applications. It is a non-ionizing form of electromagnetic radiation, meaning it does not cause damage to cells or molecules like other forms of electromagnetic radiation can do.

Radiofrequency current has many different applications, including medical treatments such as heating tissue during physical therapy, using an ablation device to treat cardiac arrhythmias, and using surgical tools such as scalpels and drills. It also has uses in communications technology such as radar, broadcasting television and radio signals, transmitting mobile phone signals, etc.

No, radiofrequency currents are considered safe because they have low levels of radiation which do not create ionization — the process that breaks apart atoms into ions — which can be harmful if overexposed to high levels of ionizing radiation like x-rays or gamma rays.

Yes, the use of radiofrequency currents are regulated by governments around the world since it can be used for both medical treatments and communication purposes. Regulations differ from country to country but usually involve limiting both exposure times and intensity that people can be exposed to when using the technology.

Generally no major health concerns come with using low-level forms of non-ionizing radiation like what is found in most applications with radiofrequency currents. However long term exposure over years could potentially pose minor health risks if individuals are exposed at very high levels (not found in most cases).
