Health status

● The use of the c-med° alpha monitoring system cannot replace the consultation with
your doctor.
● c-med° alpha is intended for use in a home healthcare environment only. This
product is not suitable for diagnosing diseases, but it is a useful tool for monitoring
the temperature, heart rate and the oxygen level. The c-med° alpha is intended only
as an aid in the vital signs assessment of you or the monitored person.
● Please contact your doctor if you notice symptoms such as unexplained irritability,
vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, changes in appetite or activity levels, seizures,
muscle aches, chills, stiffness of the neck, pain when urinating etc., regardless of the
displayed measured vital signs and regardless of whether or not fever is present.
● Please contact your doctor if the monitored temperature is elevated for more than
two days already.
● Unusually elevated or reduced vital signs may indicate a severe disease, especially
in adults who are older or frail or have a weakened immune system. Please seek
professional advice immediately from the following groups at elevated temperatures:
○ Persons over 60 years of age.
○ Persons with diabetes mellitus or a weakened immune system (e.g. HIV
positive, cancer chemotherapy, chronic steroid treatment, splenectomy).
○ Bedridden patients (e.g. Nursing home patients, stroke, chronic illness,
after surgery).
○ Transplanted patients (e.g. liver, heart, lung, kidney).
● Do not use the c-med° alpha when there are injuries to or in the ear or an increased
sensation of pain in the ear.
● Inspect the in-ear sensor's mounting point at least every 6 to 8 hours to ensure that
the in-ear sensor is properly positioned and the skin is intact.
● The infrared rays of the LED on the sensor head can pose a risk, even if they are not
visible to the human eye. Do not look directly into the LEDs on the sensor head for
long periods of time.
