Salient Characteristics:

Characteristics Bioelectrical Impedance Machine

Segmental Analysis: Measures the muscle and fat distribution in each segment of the body (right arm, left arm, torso, right leg, left leg) for a more detailed understanding. Multi-Frequency Measurement: Uses multiple frequencies to measure body composition, allowing for more accurate and detailed analysis. (5, 50, 250, and 500 khz) Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA): Utilizes BIA technology to measure body composition. It sends small, safe electrical current through the body to measure resistance and reactance. (4 frequencies at 5 segments Rt Arm, Lt Arm, Trunk, Rt Leg and Lt Leg) Body Fat Percentage: Calculates the percentage of body fat relative to the total body weight. Muscle Mass: Measures the amount of muscle mass in the body. Measurement assists in identifying the potential for sarcopenia associated with aging or medical conditions, as well as muscle mass reduction resulting from weight management interventions. Weight range 11 - 661 lb. Body Water Analysis: Provides total body water, intracellular water, and extracellular water measurements to assess hydration status. Visceral Fat Level: Estimates visceral fat, which is the fat stored around internal organs, giving an indicator of potential health risks. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Estimates the number of calories required to keep the body functioning at rest. Body Mass Index (BMI): Calculates BMI using weight and height. Segmental Lean Analysis: Evaluates lean body mass in individual segments of the body which may identify injury risk. User-Friendly Interface: Features a touchscreen display for easy navigation and data entry. Comprehensive Reports: Provides detailed reports that can be printed or stored electronically, including trend graphs for tracking changes over time. (Integrated printing system that does not require network access.) Database Management: Capable of storing multiple user profiles and past results for ongoing monitoring and comparison. Up to 100,000 results if member ID is used. Guest tests may be selected instead of user identification for anonymous results. Machines can be used independently and without network/Wi-Fi connections.
