The SIM-P Monitor is not a medical device. It
is an impact level monitor only. It is designed
to measure and report the magnitude of
acceleration resulting from impacts to the
human head, expressed in units of G-Force or
g’s (the acceleration of gravity at the earth’s
surface). Severe head impacts can cause
serious physical injury or concussion, but
the data reported by the SIM-P cannot by
itself diagnose this. SIM-P impact data cannot
substitute for medical advice, or for the timely
examination of a qualified doctor, healthcare
professional or athletic trainer.
Sports involving contact expose players to
serious personal injuries including brain
damage, paralysis or death.
The human tolerance for sudden intense
acceleration to the head and body varies
according to many factors. Whether an
athlete will sustain a concussion or other
head injury from any given impact suered
Disclaimers, precautionary
information and warnings
on the playing field can depend upon the
precise location of the physical contact, the
angle of the blow, the instantaneous posture
of the body at the moment of impact, the
athlete’s physical condition, and even the
athlete’s injury history. The SIM-P cannot
evaluate all of these factors. In the event that
you should receive a serious head impact
such that you feel impaired in any way, then,
regardless of the reading reported by your
SIM-P monitor, the most prudent practice
would be to immediately remove yourself
from play and seek medical attention from a
qualified service provider.
Symptoms of concussion or other injury
to the head may appear even though a
measured impact falls below the SIM-
programmed threshold levels. *Remember,
regardless of whether the SIM-P reports
a head impact, an athlete can receive a
concussion or other head injury at any time
during sports-related physical contact.
Symptoms of concussion or other head injury
may include headache, nausea, dizziness,
unstable vision, disorientation, confusion,
or simply a individual’s sense that he “does
not feel right” or that something is physically
wrong. If you should experience any of these
symptoms after suering a head impact,
do not return to play until after you have
received consent from a trained medical
professional. It is important to remember that
sudden intense contact to the head in any
sport may produce a concussion or other
head injuries which no helmet system can
currently prevent and no impact sensing
device can currently predict or diagnose.

WARNING: READ YOUR MANUAL! Read and
understand the contents of the SIM-P User Manual.
It is critical to follow these instructions regarding
the use and maintenance of the device. You
are responsible for ensuring that the device is
functioning properly before and during use. Failure
to follow the User Manual instructions may cause
the device to fail to perform as designed, which
could result in failure to alert you to substantial or
cumulative impacts.
* The SIM-P device uses a g-force measurement
to gauge severity of impact. Our recommended
threshold levels have been derived from peer
to peer approved research reports. For more
