Lami-TAG
Welcome to the Lami-TAG guide. Here you’ll find helpful tips, guides, and best practices for using your Lami-TAG smart sensor.
Learn how to maximize its effectiveness in detecting subtle changes in your horse’s digital pulse, a key early warning sign of laminitis. We’re committed to helping you keep your equine partner healthy and happy.
Getting started with Lami-TAG
Ensure your equine is at rest, in a calm environment
Position the Lami-TAG on your equine using the guide line to help place the sensor over the groove between the tendons of the suspensory ligament.
Select your equine from the list and connect your Lami-TAG
Leave the Lami-TAG in place for approx 1 min, before taking the reading
Use the colour coded guage to easily interpret the results
Check any other legs/pulses

Handy hints
Always clean off excess mud and dry leg prior to using Lami-TAG.
Always charge prior to first use (Battery life approx. 8 hours).
Always check for a bounding or thumping pulse. Consult your vet when needed.
If needed, part the hair or feathers over the grove where the Lami-TAG is placed.
Lami-TAG is only to be left on whilst taking a reading and not for extended periods of time.
Align the red line on the Lami-TAG wrap with the groove towards the back of the equines leg
