Keep Your Head in the Game with CHECKLIGHT

Published on Jul 3, 2013


Reebok CHECKLIGHT (reebok.com/us/content/checklight) is an impact indicator that can be worn for any sports and fitness activity in which there is a potential for head or body contact with another athlete, object (ball, stick, goal post, etc.) or playing surface. It is intended to be an extra set of eyes that leads athletes on a pathway to injury assessment. It may also enhance current coaching techniques when instructing athletes how to participate in contact sports more safely.

Reebok CHECKLIGHT is a device that is worn on the head during sports and fitness activities with or without a helmet. It will indicate when the device has sustained an impact above a certain threshold. The device is made up of three parts: 1) an electronic unit, 2) a skullcap and 3) a power cord to recharge the battery. Reebok CHECKLIGHT uses LEDs to indicate various functions of the device. The Green blinking light indicates that the unit is on and functioning. A Yellow or Red blinking light indicates that the CHECKLIGHT device has received a moderate (yellow) or more severe (red) impact. An Amber (dark yellow) blinking light indicates that the battery needs to be recharged.

Reebok CHECKLIGHT is meant to indicate when the device has received an impact above a certain threshold. It is not intended to indicate, prevent, diagnose or treat concussions.
