*Indications For Use
The Smileyscope System’s Therapy Mode is a prescription-use immersive virtual reality system intended to provide adjunctive treatment based on guided relaxation and other evidence-based behavioral methods for patients aged 4-11 years who can cooperate and interact with the device at a developmentally appropriate level. The Smileyscope Therapy Mode is intended to temporarily reduce and/or manage pain and temporarily relieve acute procedural anxiety associated with needle procedures (e.g., venipuncture, IV placement, vaccination, port access, subcutaneous injections). The device is not intended to treat anxiety disorders or specific phobias (e.g. trypanophobia).

Contraindications
Epilepsy, contact infection control precautions, poor skin integrity in the regions where the device resides, neuromuscular compromise if the weight of the device would result in injury, known skin hypersensitivity reactions to any of the components, unstable, deteriorating or critically unwell clinical status, pacemaker or other electronic implanted medical device.
