The Bloom System provides the user with health guid-
ance. It is not a diagnostic device. Despite all efforts
EN
taken to avoid such situations, false results may never-
theless be received. Therefore, the user should not make
any decision of medical relevance based on the results
received from the Bloom System without first consulting
their medical practitioner.
When the Bloom System is used for tracking of existing
medical conditions, the user should only adapt their treat-
ment of that condition based on Bloom Test results if they
have been trained to do so or in conjunction with a med-
ical practitioner. Any treatment prescribed by a medical
practitioner might require additional independent testing
by a medical practitioner and/or laboratories.

cal practitioner.
