Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Consult a doctor before using your Meta Quest if you are pregnant,
elderly, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or psychiatric
disorders, or have a heart condition or other serious medical condition.
Seizure Risk. Virtual content may include flashes of light or patterns that
may trigger seizures or other symptoms. Immediately stop use and consult
a doctor if you experience severe dizziness, seizures, eye or muscle twitching, or black out while
using your Meta Quest. Consult a doctor before use if you previously have had a seizure, loss of
awareness or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition.
Seizures. Some people (about 1 in 4,000) may experience severe dizziness, seizures, eye
or muscle twitching, or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns. These symptoms
may occur while watching TV, playing video games, or experiencing virtual content, even if
they have never had a seizure or blackout before or have no history of seizures or epilepsy.
These symptoms are more common in children and young people.
Interference with Medical Devices and Restrictions in Certain Places
•
Magnetic components. Your Meta Quest may contain magnets and
components that emit magnetic/electromagnetic fields which could
affect the operation of nearby electronics and medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers,
hearing aids and defibrillators. If you have a pacemaker, hearing aid or other implanted
medical device:
• Maintain a safe distance between the medical device and your Meta Quest headset
and controllers.
• Consult a doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device before using your Meta Quest.
• Stop using your Meta Quest if you observe interference with your medical device.
• Follow restrictions and instructions provided in certain places to limit or avoid use of radio-
electronic devices (for example, in hospitals, on airplanes, or at gas stations).
Prohibited Use
Do not use in hazardous situations. Never use in hazardous physical
world situations, where a task requires focused attention and high
coordination or precision of movement, like running or driving. Do not use while handling
dangerous objects or materials, like using a knife to chop food.
