MD Exam is not a healthcare provider, and does not diagnose any condition, recommend or endorse any specific courses of action, resources, tests, physicians or other healthcare providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be mentioned on the MD Exam website. As explained on the MD Exam website, MD Exam believes that (1) visual representations of the ear canal and tympanic membrane and/or any other body part are only part of the picture of any individual's state of being; and (2) only a trained physician or other healthcare provider can assess User’s current state of health or disease, taking into account many factors, including in some cases, images and videos taken with a MD Exam Product, as well as User’s current symptoms, if any. Reliance on any information provided by Services or Products provided by MD Exam, MD Exam employees, others appearing on the MD Exam website at the invitation of MD Exam, or other visitors to the MD Exam website is solely at User’s own risk.
MD Exam is licensed by the State of California’s Food and Drug Board as a Medical Device Manufacturer of Class 1 Medical Devices.
