Medical Disclaimer

1. Educational use only

All study notes, AI-generated answers, viva transcripts, MCQ explainers, flashcards, curriculum maps, and Ask-PRIMEX responses provided through Primex (web, iOS, and Android) are intended for educational purposes only. They are designed to help trainees prepare for college examinations. They are not intended to substitute for, override, or supplement clinical judgement, supervision, formal training, or the primary medical literature.

2. Not a medical device

Primex is not registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European CE marking system, or any other medical-device regulator. It is not approved or intended for use in diagnosing, monitoring, treating, or preventing disease. Any clinical scenarios or worked examples are illustrative teaching cases; they are not patient-specific recommendations.

3. AI-generated content

Significant portions of Primex are generated by artificial-intelligence language models, including grading feedback, viva responses, Ask-PRIMEX answers, and explainers. AI-generated content can contain errors, omissions, or out-of-date information. Users must independently verify any factual claim, drug dose, diagnostic threshold, guideline reference, or clinical recommendation against the relevant primary Australian source before relying on it for any clinical purpose.

Primary sources include but are not limited to the Australian Medicines Handbook (AMH), Therapeutic Guidelines (eTG), college-published curricula and position statements (ANZCA PS documents, RACGP Red Book, ANZICS CORE, RANZCOG statements, etc.), and current peer-reviewed literature.

4. Australian context, but verify locally

Primex is written for Australian and New Zealand medical practice. Default drug names, dosing, units, guidelines, and health-system context (PBS, Medicare, college pathways) reflect Australian standards. Practice in other jurisdictions differs and the content may not be appropriate for use outside Australasia without verification against local guidelines.

5. Specific high-risk areas

Trainees should exercise particular caution with information on:

• Paediatric drug dosing; verify against the AMH Children's Dosing Companion or local hospital formulary
• Pregnancy and lactation; verify against the AMH and TGA pregnancy categories
• Renal and hepatic dose adjustment; verify against the renal drug handbook in use at your institution
• Drugs of dependence and Schedule 8 medications; verify against your jurisdiction's drugs-of-dependence regulations
• Resuscitation algorithms and crisis management; refer to current ANZCOR / ANZAAG / ARC algorithms
• Cancer staging and treatment; refer to current eviQ protocols and college-specific oncology guidelines

6. No professional relationship

Use of Primex does not create a doctor-patient, teacher-student, supervisor-trainee, or any professional advisory relationship between you and Primex Study, its operators, or any contributors. The content does not replace formal medical training, supervision by a qualified senior clinician, or the requirements of your college's training program.

7. No college affiliation

Primex is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to ANZCA, CICM, RACP, RACS, ACEM, RACGP, ACRRM, RANZCOG, RANZCP, RANZCR, RCPA, AOA, the Australian Medical Council, or any other medical college, training body, or examination authority. Curriculum references are provided to help users map their study to college objectives; they do not represent official college positions.

8. In an emergency

If you are facing a clinical emergency, do not consult Primex. Contact your senior, the appropriate emergency service (000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand), or your hospital's clinical-emergency response team.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Australian Consumer Law and other applicable law, Primex Study (ABN 41 535 231 642) and its operators accept no liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising out of or in connection with use of the Service, including but not limited to clinical outcomes, examination results, or reliance on AI-generated content. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes any consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

10. Acceptance

By using Primex, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted this disclaimer, together with the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the Service.
