1 – FIND YOUR CRICOID
The Reflux Band Cushion will be placed on the cricoid cartilage
area of your neck. To identify the cricoid cartilage:
• Tilt your neck back and identify your Adam's apple.
• Right below the Adam's apple you can feel a second
prominent, firm cartilage area. This is your cricoid cartilage.
• If you are having difficulty positioning your Reflux Band, see
pictures for location guidance or call Customer Care at
(844) 361-4858
TIP: When fitting yourself for the Reflux Band, it is helpful to be
seated at a table with a mirror in front of you.
Important Safety Information: DO NOT use the Reflux Band if you have an implanted pacemaker, implanted cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a
vagus nerve stimulator, or other similar devices implanted in your neck. Contact your doctor before using the Reflux Band if you have glaucoma,
carotid artery disease, thyroid disease, a history of cerebrovascular disease, or any disorder of connective tissues (e.g., Marfan's Syndrome or
Ehlhers-Danlos Syndrome), if pregnant or breastfeeding, using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or are under 18 years of age. Consult
your doctor prior to using any OTC treatment for LPR if you are a current or former smoker, are spitting up blood, or are losing weight as these
may be symptoms of an upper aero-digestive system malignancy.

2 – APPLY THE Reflux Band
• Position the Reflux Band with the Cushion placed on the cricoid
area of your neck.
• Connect the Reflux Band using the Clasp, which should be on
the right side of your neck.
• Evenly adjust the Velcro® tabs of the Comfort Band so that the
Reflux Band positions comfortably around your neck.
TIP: The RB logo on the Clasp should be upright, a good reminder
for proper positioning.
