Congratulations on your ownership of a Stability
Pro scale! We’re delighted to support you in
helping others understand and manage their
balance.

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 Stability Pro scale.
WARNING: No modication of this equipment is allowed. Do not
use with accessories, detachable parts, or materials not described in
this manual.
1.1 Limitations
• e Stability Pro scale is not intended to diagnose or treat any
illness or condition. While the Stability Pro scale measures
balance, poor balance in itself is not a disease and can be caused
by variety of conditions. If you suspect an underlying medical
condition that is aecting someone’s balance, consult a doctor;
only a doctor can diagnose such a condition.
• Contraindications: e Stability Pro scale is not intended for
use by individuals who are unable to stand unassisted for at
least 60 seconds. e Stability Pro scale may not assess balance
accurately in the following populations: individuals with
vestibular disorders, tremors, or attention and memory issues.
• An operator should always spot patients as they mount and
dismount the scale, and should remain in close proximity,
spotting them, throughout the duration of the balance test.
• e Stability Pro scale 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.
• e Stability Pro scale is intended for use in professional health
care, home health, or professional tness settings.
• e Stability Pro scale should be used in a distraction-free
environment for best results.

• Maximum weight limit of 350 lbs.
1.2 Care and Use
• Must be used on a hard, level oor. Balance scores and weights
will likely be inaccurate if the scale is used on a carpeted oor
or an uneven tile oor.
• Should not get wet. Do not immerse in water. Be sure the
surrounding oor and the surface of the scale are dry to avoid
slipping when using the scale.
• If cleaning is needed, clean top glass surface with glass cleaner.
Plastic surfaces may be wiped with a cloth dampened with tap
water. Disinfectants suitable for glass or plastic surfaces may be
used on the respective surfaces.
• Should be inspected for damage prior to use. Inconsistent
weight or balance readings could result if the scale is damaged.
Check for cracks in the glass or plastic surfaces. Check to
ensure that the battery cover is rmly attached. Check to make
sure all 4 foot pads are present and undamaged. Inspect power
adapter for loose parts, fraying, or other damage.
• 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.
• Avoid stepping on the edge of the scale to minimize likelihood
of tipping.
• Verify that the scale display is working correctly by observing
the Power On Self Test. When the scale is rst powered on,
either through plugging in or installation of new batteries, each
segment of the number display will light up in sequence and the
scale will beep three times. If any of these components of the
display does not light up, the display may be faulty, which could
lead to inaccurate weight or balance score readings.
• Changing batteries is the only service or maintenance task that
users may perform. Do not perform service or maintenance

4
while in use with a patient.
• Avoid exposing the scale tomagnetic elds, electromagnetic
elds, external electrical inuences, electrostatic discharge,
pressure or variations in pressure, acceleration, or thermal
ignition sources, as these conditions may damage the product.
• In the event that you observe unexpected behavior of the scale,
follow the instructions listed in section 10, “Error Codes and
Troubleshooting.”

2. ABOUT THE STABILITY PRO SCALE AND
ZIBRIO BALANCE TEST
e Stability Pro scale measures postural stability through the
ZIBRIO Balance Test, which is a 60 second test with a two-legged,
open-eyed stance. Balance is measured in Brios, on a scale from
1 to 10. 10 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 scale also measures weight.
Score of 7 – 10: low risk of falling (green zone)
Score of 4 – 6: medium risk of falling (yellow zone)
Score of 1 – 3: increased risk of falling (red zone)
In a ZIBRIO study of over 300 adults, people who scored between
1 to 3 were three times more likely to experience a fall in the next
year compared to people who scored between 7 and 10. 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. Physicians should consult
ZIBRIO Clinical Decision Support soware (otherwhise known as
BalanceCare). If you are not a physician, please refer your patient/
client to an appropriate primary care doctor.
2.1 Intended Use
e Stability Pro scale is intended to quantify balance and weight in
adults. It is intended for professional use. It is not intended for self
testing, and an operator should remain with the user to spot them
as they mount and dismount the scale and to spot them for the
duration of the test.
e weighing function of the scale may be used by anyone weighing
at least 20 lbs. However, the balance measurement algorithm is not

6
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. It may not assess
balance accurately in the following populations: individuals with
vestibular disorders, tremors, or attention and memory issues.
2.2 Patient Contact
e glass surface of the Stability Pro scale is the applied part, which
will make contact with the patient. e patient should stand on
the glass surface. e patient does not need to come in contact
with any other parts of the device. e patient does not need to
remove their shoes before standing on the device, although patients
wearing high heeled shoes or other shoes that interfere signicantly
with comfortable standing may wish to do so. In the event that
patients do remove their shoes, it is not necessary to remove
socks. e Stability Pro may also be used barefoot if desired. If the
scale is being used with shoes on, the scale does not need to be
cleaned in between uses by dierent patients. If the scale is being
used barefoot, clean the glass surface of the scale between uses by
dierent patients, following instructions in section 1.2. e scale
does not need to be cleaned between uses with the same patient.
