Disclaimer

This Disclaimer applies to your access to and use of the BurnAid website, including the “Advanced Burn Care Management for Modern Hospitals” website, and the BurnAid mobile application, together referred to as “BurnAid”, “we”, “us”, or “our”.

BurnAid is designed as a clinical support, educational, documentation, and reference platform for burn care. It provides tools and information related to burn area assessment, fluid planning, investigations, orders, nutrition planning, drug references, documentation, and burn care learning.

BurnAid is not intended to replace professional medical judgment, specialist consultation, emergency medical care, institutional protocols, or local treatment guidelines.

By accessing the website, downloading the app, or using any BurnAid feature, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Disclaimer.

1. Not a Substitute for Medical Advice or Clinical Judgment

BurnAid does not provide independent medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing decisions, or emergency medical services.

The information, calculators, reference materials, drug information, and documentation tools provided through BurnAid are intended to support qualified healthcare professionals and should be interpreted in the context of each patient’s clinical condition.

All clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating healthcare professional. Users should rely on their own clinical judgment, institutional policies, specialist advice, and applicable local, national, or international guidelines before making any patient care decisions.

2. Emergency Medical Situations

Burn injuries can be life-threatening and may require urgent medical attention. BurnAid should not be used as a substitute for emergency medical care.

In the event of a medical emergency, severe burn injury, inhalation injury, shock, altered consciousness, major trauma, chemical burn, electrical burn, pediatric burn, or any other serious condition, users must immediately contact local emergency services or seek urgent medical care from a qualified medical facility.

Any delay in obtaining professional medical treatment may result in serious harm.

3. Accuracy and Updating of Information

We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate, structured, and clinically relevant information. However, medical knowledge, treatment recommendations, formularies, protocols, drug information, and clinical guidelines may change over time.

BurnAid does not guarantee that all information is complete, current, error-free, or applicable to every clinical situation. Users are responsible for verifying information against current guidelines, institutional protocols, official drug labels, formularies, specialist recommendations, and patient-specific factors before use.

4. Calculators, Clinical Tools, and Documentation

BurnAid includes tools such as TBSA calculation, fluid planning, nutrition calculations, investigation references, order references, drug references, and documentation support. These tools are intended to assist clinical workflow and reduce repetitive manual work, but they must not be treated as definitive medical instructions.

All calculation outputs, suggested references, and documentation generated within BurnAid are provided for clinical support and reference purposes only. These outputs may contain errors, including errors caused by incorrect data entry, technical limitations, software issues, outdated information, calculation limitations, or differences in clinical interpretation.

All BurnAid-generated information must be carefully reviewed and verified by a qualified healthcare professional before being used in clinical practice, shared for handover, included in patient records, or used for multidisciplinary discussion.

5. Fluid Planning and Clinical Calculations

Fluid calculations, delayed resuscitation estimates, nutrition calculations, TBSA values, deep burn percentages, and other numerical outputs generated by BurnAid are intended to support structured clinical planning only.

These outputs may be affected by incorrect patient data, inaccurate burn marking, incomplete clinical information, delayed presentation, evolving patient condition, or software limitations. They must be reassessed against the patient’s actual physiological response, clinical findings, urine output, vital signs, laboratory results, and specialist recommendations.

BurnAid calculations should not be used as fixed or automatic treatment instructions.

6. Drug and Dosage Information

Any medication-related content within BurnAid, including the BurnAid Drug Index or order references, is provided for reference support only.

Drug doses, routes, contraindications, interactions, formulations, adverse effects, precautions, and prescribing decisions must be verified using current institutional formularies, official drug labels, pharmacy guidance, specialist advice, and patient-specific clinical factors.

BurnAid does not replace the role of a prescribing clinician, pharmacist, intensivist, anesthetist, pediatrician, or other qualified healthcare professional.

7. User Responsibility

Your use of BurnAid is at your own discretion and responsibility. You agree to use BurnAid only as a support, educational, documentation, and reference tool, and not as the sole basis for medical diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or patient management.

BurnAid should be used only by individuals who understand its purpose and limitations. Non-medical users should not use BurnAid to self-diagnose, self-treat, or delay seeking professional medical care.

Users are responsible for checking all entered data, reviewing all generated outputs, and ensuring that any clinical use of BurnAid-generated information is appropriate for the patient and care setting.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, BurnAid, its creators, contributors, developers, partners, and associated persons shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or other damages arising from or related to the use of, inability to use, interpretation of, or reliance on BurnAid or its content.

This includes, but is not limited to, clinical decisions, treatment outcomes, documentation errors, delays in care, medication-related issues, data entry errors, calculation inaccuracies, software errors, technical failures, outdated information, or reliance on incomplete or incorrect content.
