SonoCue Medical Disclaimer

Last updated: May 7, 2026

This is the standalone medical disclaimer that appears in three places inside SonoCue:

1. Onboarding (first launch) — short version on the HCP-acknowledgment screen.
2. Settings → Medical Disclaimer — full version (this document).
3. Share / Copy of any finding — short version auto-appended.

Plain-English version (the one shown in onboarding + share footer)

SonoCue is a clinical reference tool for trained diagnostic medical sonographers (RDMS or equivalent) and ultrasound students. It is not a diagnostic device, not medical advice, and not intended for use by patients or untrained individuals. Every output, including AI-generated content, is a reference suggestion for you to verify against primary clinical sources, your scan findings, and your clinical judgment. SonoCue does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any condition. Do not enter Protected Health Information. Do not use SonoCue for time-critical or emergency clinical decisions.

Who SonoCue is for

SonoCue is intended exclusively for:

• Credentialed diagnostic medical sonographers (RDMS, RDCS, RVT, or equivalent)
• Ultrasound students enrolled in CAAHEP-accredited or equivalent programs
• Other trained ultrasound professionals (physician sonographers, sonography educators)

It is not intended for, and may not be used by, patients, members of the general public, or untrained individuals.

What SonoCue is NOT

• Not a diagnostic device. SonoCue does not diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any condition, disease, or patient. It does not interpret scans for individual patients.
• Not a regulated medical device. SonoCue falls within the U.S. FDA's non-device Clinical Decision Support guidance (September 2022): it is intended for healthcare professionals; it provides differential suggestions rather than specific patient outputs; the basis of every recommendation (formulas, society guidelines, AI rationale) is shown so the HCP can independently review; and it is not intended for time-critical decisions.
• Not a substitute for clinical judgment. Every output is reference material. Your clinical judgment, your scan findings, your facility's protocols, and current society guidelines (AIUM, ACOG, ISUOG, SMFM, ACR) are authoritative.

About the AI Analyze feature

AI Analyze returns a structured list of differential considerations in response to a sonographer-described finding. The output:

• Is AI-generated — every response is labeled as such.
• Is a suggestion, not a diagnosis. The phrasing is intentionally framed as "differential considerations," "next scan steps," and "clinical context" — never as a definitive identification.
• Is constrained by a system prompt that refuses dosing recommendations, treatment plans, non-sonography modalities (CT, MRI, X-ray), and any output framed as a definitive diagnosis.
• May contain inaccuracies. Verify against primary sources before any clinical use.
• Includes a rationale so you can review the basis. If the rationale doesn't match the suggestion, treat the output as suspect.
• Is rate-limited to 5 uses per account per day.
• Includes a "Report this response" button. Use it whenever output looks clinically off.

About the Reference Tools

The calculators and tables (gestational age, EFW, BPP, Doppler, cervical length, amniotic fluid) implement formulas from the published clinical literature. Each tool screen shows the formula source. The full source list is in Settings → Methodology & References.

These tools compute mathematical results based on inputs you provide. They do not interpret patient outcomes. Always cross-reference against your facility's protocols and current society guidelines.

About the Differential Finder database

Each finding entry is authored by Tricia Henderson, RDMS — a travel sonographer with nearly 30 years of clinical experience — and reviewed against current society guidelines. The "Reviewed [Month Year]" stamp on each entry shows when it was last verified.

Entries are designed to support your differential thinking. They are not a comprehensive list of every possible association or every possible next scan step. Use your clinical judgment.

What you must NOT do

• Do not enter PHI. Do not type patient names, MRNs, dates of birth, phone numbers, addresses, or any other identifier that could link clinical content to a specific person. SonoCue's input sanitization layer is a safety net — your contractual obligation is not to type PHI in the first place.
• Do not use SonoCue for time-critical or emergency clinical decisions. Suspected ectopic pregnancy, suspected DVT with embolic risk, suspected acute abdomen — these require direct physician interpretation in real time, not a reference tool.
• Do not rely on SonoCue as the sole basis for any clinical action. Always cross-reference with your facility's protocols, current society guidelines, and the interpreting physician.
• Do not share account credentials. Each account is for one credentialed user.
