Although as described in in the September 2004 issue of the journal Pediatrics by Dr. Pearlman, that the Nuvo method was more than 96 percent effective at killing head lice, several health experts said that the study had several important limitations and suggested parents to use other better-known methods of killing head lice until more conclusive research was done.

Moreover, in the terms and conditions of the official Nuvo treatment website stated:
I understand that the Nuvo method for treating and diagnosing head lice has not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Cetaphil® is a trademark of Galderma Laboratories, L.P. United States, which has not reviewed or endorsed the material on this web site.
