Legal Notice
Prior to using the Intel-GE Care Innovations™ QuietCare® system, you should read this manual carefully,
including all safety instructions, cautions and warnings. The Care Innovations™ QuietCare system is intended
for use in monitoring certain environmental conditions and activity patterns as indicated by changes in motion.
It is intended for use with an individual whose activities are being monitored by caregivers and who may reside
in facilities such as senior housing communities.
The QuietCare® system uses motion sensors, network systems and computer systems to help detect
movements at defined points inside a residence and collects data generated by various movements which are
reflected as certain activities of daily living. Noteworthy occurrences and changes in monitored activity patterns
and environmental conditions are communicated to senior housing staff or other caregivers in the form of
notifications referred to as Urgent Alerts and Alerts. Urgent Alerts and Alerts are intended to provide additional
information to caregivers however the QuietCare system is not an emergency response or alarm system.
Changes in activity patterns may indicate the need for intervention by senior housing staff or other caregivers.
WARNING: THE QUIETCARE SYSTEM IS NOT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE OR ALARM
SYSTEM AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE.
The QuietCare system is intended for use by caregivers using independent judgment and standard care
practices established within their organizations. Although the QuietCare System increases the information
available to the staff of senior housing communities providing care for residents, it is not a substitute for other
standard or necessary care activities. Data from the QuietCare system should not be relied on as medical
advice or clinical diagnosis and the staff and management of senior housing communities should not depend
solely on the QuietCare system to ensure resident safety. Caregivers should always rely on licensed medical
professionals in making all health decisions and to use the information provided by the QuietCare system
solely as a resource in that process.
When operating as intended, QuietCare is not designed to and cannot be relied on to detect all activity that
may indicate a need for intervention. Technical issues in sensors, networks and computer systems may also
result in occasional periods during which QuietCare is prevented from operating as intended, and as a result,
changes in resident activity patterns may not be recognized or may not be reported in a timely manner.
Do not attempt to disassemble the QuietCare system or modify the devices in any way.
