How do I set the Periotron to zero?
1. Turn power on about 10 minutes before use.
2. Open a sterile packet of PerioPaper strips and mount the enclosed sheet of strips on the PerioPaper holder usually attached to the top of the Periotron instrument.
3.

Remove a strip with cotton pliers. Place this dry strip between the sensors of the Periotron meter and adjust the instrument to read "00" with the large adjustment wheel at the front of the instrument . The Periotron 8000 will give you 16 seconds to adjust the 00 following closure of the sensors on the strip. 

4. Remove and discard the dry strip; commence GCF measurements.
