Spanish term

borrado de la FDA

Spanish to English Marketing Marketing / Market Research
I don't know what they means to say by this. Any ideas?

Desarrollado por científicos de Harvard, nuestro procedimiento único, patentada, clínicamente probado consiste en congelantes las células adiposas sin daños a la piel.
Después de su tratamiento, verá una notable reducción de grasa en la zona tratada después de una visita.
Puede perder incluso más con citas adicionales, si usted y su médico consideren necesarios.
¿Qué significa eso?
En pocas palabras, ajusta mejor su ropa.
Te ves mejor.
Las células de grasa son naturalmente eliminadas de su cuerpo durante los siguientes meses, dejándole a sentirse más como usted otra vez.
Es totalmente no quirúrgicos, **borrado de la FDA**.

Thanks

Don't put it in the glossary - it's garbage!
Richard Hill (asker) Dec 14, 2011:
Not editing a MT This is a translation for the website of clinic in Mexico that uses these weight-loss procedures and I'm guessing that for their website in Spanish, they may have machine translated some of the information from Harvard. Anyway, the translation has been sent with Lisa's answer. Thanks all :)
Benjamin A Flores Dec 14, 2011:
Oooops OK, I don't know if I broke any rules, If I did...Sorry.
But the question remains: What are we really translating? I see a piece of copy already in English, so unless rich is editing some machine generated translation. I guess we are kept wondering
Lisa McCarthy Dec 14, 2011:
@ Benjamin Yes, that's the text Lorena provided below. Very odd indeed!
Benjamin A Flores Dec 14, 2011:
wait, wait, wait is it SP to EN?????
'cause http://www.coolsculpting.com/heres-the-skinny/ is in English and the copy is correct. What is your actual question.
lorenab23 Dec 14, 2011:
I think this may be the original I am not posting the link so I do not affect any confidentiality rules, but it confirms the "cleared" possibility.
Here’s the skinny: developed by Harvard scientists, our unique, patented, clinically proven procedure involves freezing fat cells without damage to your skin.
The fat cells are naturally eliminated from your body over the following few months, leaving you feeling more like yourself again. It’s totally non-invasive, FDA-cleared, and there’s usually no downtime whatsoever

borrado Lisa ha hecho una aproximación a una frase que en realidad tiene todas las caracteristicas de "marketing" Pueda que el "copywriter" lo haya puesto tan ambiguo y sin sentido a proposito, despues de todo en marketing...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDW_Hj2K0wo

This is just a guess based on the meaning in IT speak - 'borrado' means 'clearing'.

Thanks!
neutral Benjamin A Flores : Too wild a guess, I guess, this sound like something out of TV Offer and these products do not need FDA approval as they make NO medical claims.
27 mins
Do you think they might be lying then? :) Is the problem with the meaning of the verb 'borrado' or the meaning of 'FDA'?
agree liz askew : I would agree with "cleared/clearance".
58 mins
Thanks, Liz :)
agree Giovanni Rengifo : Not too wild a guess at all. The source text is full of errors anyway, so that's probably a poor translation from an English version (or another language).
