Diamagnetic Pump

Good Day Everyone.
This my first post concerns the "diamagnetic pump" used in physiotherapy. Basically I read that this probe is able to generate a magnetic field B of 2.2 Tesla.
Considering that the power supply (single phase) of this machine does not require high power (about 2 - 2.5 kw), the maximum current flowing in the coils of the probe should be in the approximate range of 8 - 10 Ampere.
The alleged coil (or toroidal system) is encapsulated in a cylinder of about 6-7 cm in diameter and about 15 cm in height, connected to the machine, obviously, with "armored" cables.
I am looking for some technical details on how a magnetic field of 2.2 Tesla is produced by this probe.
Attached there are a couple of images diamagnetic pumps where the cylindrical probe is clearly visible
Thanks to everyone for your attention.
Frank.

This looks like snake oil to me.

It's also not a "pump" in any sense so this probably isn't the right forum. I would try one of the electrical ones, but add some links to get some more technical details. Sounds to me like it pulses current so you might get short bust of several thousand amps.

But it still looks like snake oil.
