ABOUT THE DEVICE

!WARNING: It is not recommended for persons with implanted medical equipment such as pacemakers or pregnant women to use the Monitor.

•The Monitor is intended for home use only, not for hospital diagnosis purposes.

•The BMI and Body Fat Index measurements done with the Monitor should only be treated as an approximate indication of your health level. Consult with your physician for a full and thorough evaluation.

•Body Fat Index and Body Mass Index measurements are less accurate for professional athletes, bodybuilders, children, teenagers, and persons over the age of 65 due to the difference in their body compositions. However, this device can still help individuals in the groups above to track their body fat trends over time.
