The IVA Testing System is a decision support software for use only by healthcare professionals who have expertise in the use and interpretation of psychological tests. This system supports the remote administration of the IVA-2, IVA-AE2, and IVA-QS on this device. These tests can only be administered, scored, and interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals as part of a comprehensive evaluation. Individuals taking the test have no direct or immediate access to any test results or data. The test is not intended to be used as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument. By itself, it does not identify the presence or absence of any clinical diagnosis. The function of this psychological test is to aid examiners in making their diagnosis as part of a comprehensive evaluation. These tests function as a means to help clinicians in their evaluation of an individual's attention and general cognitive functioning. The use of these tests requires that they be administered in accordance with the specified test guidelines under the direct supervision of qualified licensed health care professionals. All test data provided by these tests require the interpretation and validation by the clinician or researcher who administered it. Only researchers who have received approval from their Institutional Review Board (IRB) are permitted to use the application and any supported hardware in their clinical or medical research studies can only be used in accordance with the specified IRB jurisdictional use limitations.
