Intended Use
The exerspy calorie and activity tracking system works with the dotFIT Me Program
to record, analyze and report parameters. These objective health metrics enable you
to maintain a healthy weight and an active lifestyle, which are continually cited as the
keys to combating and managing serious medical conditions including obesity,
cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The information presented by the system can
be used by your physician or healthcare practitioner to assess your physical activity
level and help you reach dietary and weight control goals.
Risks and Benefits
The predominant benefit of the product is the enabling of the monitoring and
management of daily metabolic and lifestyle data in order to reach your activity and
weight goals. In addition to weight management, known benefits of increasing
activity levels include increased life expectancy, improved sleep, and enhanced
appearance and “self-perception”.
Analysis and post market surveillance indicates that the risks of using the product
are extremely low. No significant health risks have been identified. The most fre-
quently reported health risk, occurring in less then 1% of users, is a mild to severe
skin irritation resulting from wearing the armband. Following proper wear and
cleaning instructions often resolves this issue. If irritation continues, discontinue
use and consult a physician. Follow all instructions regarding how to properly wear
and clean the armband to minimize the chance of irritation. If you have a known
metal allergy consult your physician prior to using the product. Read the instruc-
tions provided and all cautions before using the armband.
