Terms & Disclaimers

Terms & Disclaimers

The ACA CARE MANAGEMENT, LLC (“ACA Care Management”) website presents information about our prosthetic engineering capabilities and the technical disciplines that support our work. By accessing or using this website, visitors agree to the conditions described below.

The Purpose of This Website

Content on this site is provided to explain our organization, areas of technical expertise, and approach to engineering design and development. It is general information and is not a set of specifications, engineering instructions, manufacturing directions, or recommendations for a particular prosthetic device.

A website description cannot account for the engineering requirements, intended application, design constraints, clinical inputs, materials, technologies, or other factors associated with an individual development program.

Engineering Is Established Through an Engagement

Browsing the website, sending an inquiry, or discussing a potential project does not by itself establish an engineering engagement or create an obligation for ACA Care Management to perform services.

The scope of an actual project is established through the applicable written agreement, statement of work, technical requirements, or other authorized project documentation. Those materials control if their provisions differ from general descriptions appearing on this website.

Clinical Requirements Are Inputs, Not Medical Advice

Prosthetic engineering often requires consideration of clinical requirements, biomechanics, human movement, functional objectives, and intended use. ACA Care Management may incorporate appropriate requirements supplied by clients or qualified project participants into the engineering process.

Our engineering role should not be confused with clinical care. Website content does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, patient assessment, prosthetic fitting, rehabilitation guidance, or a recommendation concerning what device an individual should use.

Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of appropriately qualified healthcare professionals and other authorized parties.

From Design to Manufacturing

ACA Care Management develops engineering designs and technical documentation intended to support organizations taking prosthetic technologies into subsequent stages of development and manufacturing.

We do not represent through this website that ACA Care Management manufactures, fabricates, assembles, sells, dispenses, or fits prosthetic devices. Manufacturing organizations and other downstream participants are responsible for activities falling within their respective roles.

A design being prepared for manufacturing does not mean that a finished device has been manufactured, validated, approved, or determined suitable for a particular patient or commercial application

Regulatory Status Is Separate From Website Content

Prosthetic technologies may be subject to regulatory, quality, testing, documentation, labeling, and other requirements depending on the device, intended use, development stage, and jurisdiction. Nothing displayed on this website should be interpreted as representing that a particular design, technology, concept, or future product has received regulatory authorization or satisfies every requirement applicable to commercialization.

Any regulatory or compliance responsibilities undertaken by ACA Care Management are limited to those expressly included within a particular engagement.

Technical Results Depend on the Project

Engineering outcomes depend upon the quality and completeness of project inputs as well as design requirements, assumptions, materials, interfaces, operating conditions, development decisions, and information supplied by other participants.

For that reason, examples of capabilities or engineering approaches presented online are not guarantees that the same methods, performance characteristics, development results, timelines, or commercial outcomes will apply to another project.

Ownership and Permitted Use

Website text, graphics, branding, illustrations, layouts, and other original materials are owned by or licensed to ACA CARE MANAGEMENT, LLC unless another owner is identified. Visitors may use publicly available website content for ordinary informational purposes.

Republishing, commercially exploiting, modifying, systematically extracting, or presenting protected material as the work of another person or organization is not permitted without appropriate authorization.

Ownership and permitted use of designs, drawings, CAD files, calculations, specifications, reports, and other materials produced during client engagements are determined separately by the agreements governing those projects.

Website Availability

Reasonable efforts are made to maintain accurate and useful information, but website materials may be revised as our capabilities, technologies, and business activities develop. ACA Care Management does not warrant that every page will remain continuously available, error-free, or completely current.

Links or references to resources operated by other organizations are provided where they may be useful. ACA Care Management does not control independent websites and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, or representations.

Improper Use

Visitors may not interfere with website operation, attempt unauthorized access to systems or data, introduce malicious software, circumvent security measures, impersonate others, or use the website in violation of applicable law.

These Terms & Disclaimers and use of this website are governed by the laws of the State of New York, subject to applicable federal law.
