Important
It is very important that you understand the three necessary components of a comprehensive breast-screening program.
- Breast self-examination (with our without the Liv Aid)
- Regular clinical breast exams by your doctor
- Mammograms
Breast self-examination with our without the Liv Aid is not a replacement for a mammogram or clinical breast exam by your doctor. It is very important that you have regular clinical exams and mammograms as advised by your doctor. Report any changes found either with your bare hand or the Liv Aid to your doctor for proper evaluation.
If you discover a lump, puckering or discharge during either a bare hand breast exam or a Liv Aid exam, it is important that you see your doctor as soon as possible.
SPECIFIC USE DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee that the Liv Aid will detect breast cancer, breast lumps or any other breast diseases. Breast self-examination is a part of good breast health care but is not a substitute for regular medical examination. Clinical breast examination and mammograms should be regularly performed by a qualified physician. Changes found during breast self-examination should be promptly reported to your physician for proper evaluation. Women with prior breast health problems or breast diseases should rely primary on more frequent clinical examinations. Women with reconstructive surgery of the breast or breast implants should consult with their physician before using the product.
