1. SAFETY INFORMATION
At ZIBRIO we are very safety conscious, and we design and
manufacture products with the safety of you, our valued
customer, at the forefront. We ask that you adhere to the following
precautions when using your ZIBRIO SmartScale.
Limitations
Your ZIBRIO SmartScale…
• Is not intended to diagnose or treat any illness or condition.
While the ZIBRIO SmartScale measures balance, poor balance
in itself is not a disease and can be caused by variety of
conditions. If you suspect you have a medical condition that is
aecting your balance, consult a doctor.
• Is not intended for use by individuals who are unable to stand
unassisted for at least 60 seconds or who are unable to get on
and o the scale on their own.
• May not assess balance accurately in the following populations:
individuals with vestibular disorders, tremors, or attention and
memory issues.
• Cannot be used to gauge intoxication level due to alcohol
or other substances. Getting a high balance score is not an
indication of tness for driving or other activities.
• Should be used in a distraction-free environment for best
results.

Care and Use
Your ZIBRIO SmartScale…
• Must be used on a hard, level oor. Balance scores and weights
will likely be inaccurate if the SmartScale is used on a carpeted
oor or an uneven tile oor.
• Should not get wet. Do not immerse in water. Be sure the oor
around you and the surface of the scale are dry to avoid slipping
when using the scale.
• Should not be used if the glass top is cracked, as injury may
occur.
• Should not be dropped, as this may lead to personal injury or
damage to the device.

2. ABOUT THE ZIBRIO SMARTSCALE AND
ZIBRIO BALANCE TEST
e ZIBRIO SmartScale measures balance with the ZIBRIO
Balance Test. During the test, the subject stands with both feet
on the scale and their eyes open, making it possible for non-
specialists to test their own balance without outside help. Balance
is measured in Brios, on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten Brios represents
the best possible balance across the human population. 1-3 Brios is
associated with an increased risk of falling in adults ages 65 and up.
e SmartScale also measures weight.
Score of 7 – 10 Brios: low risk of falling (green zone)
Score of 4 – 6 Brios: medium risk of falling (yellow zone)
Score of 1 – 3 Brios: increased risk of falling (red zone)
In a ZIBRIO study of over 300 adults, people who scored between
1 to 3 Brios were 3 times more likely to experience a fall in the next
12 months compared to people who scored between 7 and 10 Brios.
Your Balance Score and your Balance Prole are provided as
information about your balance and the habits that aect it.
Remember that your balance can change from one day to the next.
Having poor balance can result from a variety of causes, and this
device is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease or condition.
Always consult your physician to determine what is best for your
health.

e ZIBRIO Balance Coach App can work with the scale and
allows you to:
• Operate balance tests through the app (if you prefer a visual
timer during the test)
• Save and track your balance scores over time
• Create a personal Balance Prole to understand healthy balance
behaviors
• Access personalized advice about how to improve balance
(Personalized Plan)
Intended Use
e ZIBRIO SmartScale is intended to quantify balance and weight
in adults. It is intended for home use, and should only be used by
individuals who are able to stand unassisted for at least 60 seconds,
and who can safely get on and o the scale without assistance. It
may not assess balance accurately for individuals with vestibular
disorders, tremors, or attention and memory issues
e weighing function of the scale may be used by anyone weighing
at least 20 lbs. However, the balance measurement algorithm is not
optimized for children, and will not give an accurate measurement
of a child’s balance ability. It is meant to assess balance in adults
ages 18 and older and weighing at least 50 lbs.
