The Alert-iT system has been designed with due regard to reliability and integrity. While it offers a highly vigilant
monitoring method, it is always possible that a distress condition can go undetected for a variety of reasons (including
malfunction) and in life threatening situations it is advisable to use the Alert-iT system in conjunction with additional
monitoring techniques (e.g. video). Neither the manufacturer nor its agent can accept legal responsibility to provide
a system that is infallible. The carer is responsible for assessing the risks of using this equipment and any settings
pertaining to it.
