Warnings

Contact in football may result in concussion-brain injury, which no helmet can prevent.

Symptoms include loss of consciousness or memory, dizziness, headache, nausea, or confusion. Any athlete who experiences any of those symptoms should immediately stop playing and report them to their coach, trainer, and parents. An athlete is not to return to a game or practice until all symptoms are gone and they have received medical clearance. Ignoring this warning may lead to another and more serious or even fatal brain injury.An athlete should not use their helmet to butt, ram or spear an opposing player, as this is a violation of the football rules, and such use can result in severe head or neck injuries, paralysis, or death to the athlete and possible injury to their opponent.No helmet can prevent head or neck injuries a player might receive while participating in football.Riddell InSite alerts the sideline to significant, single, or multiple impacts that may result in a concussion or other head injury.Riddell InSite is not a medical device, nor is it a protective device.Riddell InSite does not diagnose concussions or other head injuries, and is not intended to be used as a diagnostic device.Serious injury and/or concussion may occur even if no alert is reported. Riddell InSite transmits alerts at research-based thresholds; however, concussion may occur at impacts below these thresholds.Riddell InSite is intended to be used as a supplement to a team's concussion protocol, and should not be used to replace the existing safety plans and concussion protocols the team, school, or organization has in place.In all instances when the Alert Monitor signals an Alert, staff should execute its concussion assessment protocol. The Centers for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov/concussion), and USA Football (http://usafootball.com/health-safety/consussion-awareness) offer concussion management guidelines.Riddell InSite must be properly installed and configured by the user to allow for correct function and transmission of impact Alerts.For proper performance, the Riddell InSite Alert Monitor must be used within 50 yards of the instrumented players. If a Player Unit generates an Alert outside the communication range of 50 yards, the Alert is saved and transmitted when the equipment is again within range.Do not modify, change, or alter the device in any way.Player units must be reconditioned annually to ensure proper performance.
