GoBe U is designed for everyday health and wellness tracking. However, there are some situations in which using the device is not recommended. Certain medical conditions and external factors may also affect the accuracy of some GoBe U metrics.
When Is GoBe U Not Recommended?
We do not recommend using GoBe U:
- During pregnancy
- For anyone under 18 years of age
- If you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic medical device
If you have a medical condition and are unsure whether you can use GoBe U, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using the device.
What Medical Conditions May Affect Data Accuracy?
Some medical conditions can affect metabolism, fluid balance, or other physiological processes used by GoBe U algorithms. In these cases, the accuracy of certain metrics, particularly absorbed calorie and calorie burn data, may be reduced.
These may include conditions affecting:
- Fluid and electrolyte balance
- Cardiovascular function
- Kidney function
- Hormonal balance
- Metabolism
Examples include diabetes, chronic hepatitis, significant hormonal disorders, obesity, cardiovascular insufficiency, and other conditions that may significantly alter normal physiological processes.
Data accuracy may also be affected during acute illnesses, particularly when accompanied by fever, significant pain, or inflammation.
Can I Use GoBe U if I Have Cancer?
Cancer itself is not a contraindication to using GoBe U.
However, some cancers and cancer treatments may alter metabolic and other physiological processes. Because of this, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of GoBe U data in these cases.
What Else Can Affect Data Accuracy?
Some GoBe U metrics may also be affected by significant changes in your usual physiological state or environment, including:
- Lack of sleep or jet lag
- Significant emotional stress
- Fasting or a highly restrictive diet
- Intense or prolonged physical activity
- Unusual environmental conditions, including extreme heat or cold, very low humidity, or high altitude
In these situations, your device data may temporarily differ from your usual readings.
What Should I Know About Photosensitive Epilepsy?
GoBe U uses LED light indicators. The device has not undergone specialized safety testing for people with photosensitive epilepsy, so we cannot guarantee that there is no risk.
If you have photosensitive epilepsy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using the device.
What Materials Are Used in GoBe U?
Materials that come into contact with the user include:
- Case - plastic
- Electrodes - titanium
- Strap - silicone with a metal buckle
If you have a known sensitivity or allergy to any of the materials used in the device, discontinue use if you experience skin irritation or another skin reaction.
