Seizure and health alerts

Some alert devices are cleared by the FDA for specific uses, some need a prescription, and some say plainly they are not made to detect seizures. Knowing which is which matters.

What to look for

  • FDA status, as the maker states it.
  • Whether a prescription is needed, and the ages it is cleared for.
  • Day and night use, or night only.
  • Who gets the alert, and the monthly plan.

Questions to ask first

  • Has the person's doctor weighed in?
  • How will you explain it to the person, at a level that fits their age?
  • Who will get alerts, and has the person agreed?

Good to know

Alert devices are not diagnosis tools. Follow the setup guide, and keep the person's doctor in the loop.
