Referring to English wikipedia.org Diathermy article, both shortwave and microwave have been used for Diathermy treatments.
While the distinctions in EMS wavelength are a reflection of history (lack of previous recognition of the EMS being a continuous spectrum) is somewhat arbitrary, there is no gap between them. Thus the answer of above shortwave and below microwave does not make sense.
The FDA.gov website contains an overview on Diathermy dated: "2016-02-23" which discusses a dielectric device using a wire mesh within pads, construction consistent with what KingBrand appears to be offering. The article also reports approval of shortwave frequencies of 13.56MHz and microwave frequencies of 915MHz and 2450MHz.
What frequency of the EMS do the KingBrand BFST devices use/apply?
I would think the lower microwave frequency of 915MHz listed by the FDA would make sense.
