China Body Composition Measuring Device

This instrument uses multi‑frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to quantify body fat, lean mass, total body water, and segmental composition. It is intended for industrial health monitoring, fitness assessment, and clinical screening where repeatable, non‑invasive measurement is required.

Measurement Principle

The device applies a low‑amplitude alternating current (<0.5 mA) through eight tactile electrodes at five frequencies ranging from 1 kHz to 1 MHz. Impedance magnitude and phase shift at each frequency are used to separate intracellular and extracellular water, enabling calculation of fat‑free mass, fat mass, and segmental muscle distribution via established empirical equations.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• 8‑point tactile electrode system ensures consistent contact pressure and reduces measurement variance.
• Multi‑frequency (5 kHz–1 MHz) analysis improves accuracy of extracellular/intracellular water separation.
• Segmental (5‑segment) reporting enables detection of limb‑specific muscle imbalances.
• Auto‑calibration routine runs at startup, compensating for temperature drift.
• Touchscreen UI supports user profile creation, guest mode, and quick‑measure (<15 s) workflow.
• Internal storage for 1,000 measurement records; export via USB‑C as CSV.
• Compliant with IEC 60601‑2‑24 (BIA equipment) and ISO 13485 quality management.

Applications

• Corporate wellness programs – periodic tracking of employee fat‑free mass trends supports ergonomic interventions and reduces absenteeism.
• Sports training facilities – segmental muscle data helps coaches tailor strength programs and monitor symmetry to prevent overuse injuries.
• Clinical screening – early detection of fluid shifts (e.g., edema, sarcopenia) in outpatient settings without radiation exposure.
• Research studies – longitudinal body‑composition tracking in nutritional or pharmaceutical trials with high repeatability (<1 % CV).
• Industrial safety – baseline hydration and muscle mass metrics assist in assessing fatigue risk for shift workers in demanding environments.

Customization Options

• Electrode material – silver‑coated stainless steel for enhanced conductivity in humid environments.
• Housing material – ABS standard or anti‑static PVC for cleanroom compatibility.
• Software language packs – Mandarin, English, Spanish, selectable at runtime.
• Firmware modules – additional outputs such as phase angle, visceral fat rating, or customized equations.
• OEM branding – laser‑etched logo, custom colour panels, and tailored packaging.
• Connectivity – optional Wi‑Fi module for LAN integration and cloud‑based data aggregation.

Quality Assurance

Each unit undergoes impedance linearity verification across the five test frequencies, with deviation limited to ±2 %. Repeatability is assessed by ten consecutive measurements on a reference phantom, yielding a coefficient of variation below 1 %. Electrode biocompatibility is confirmed via ISO 10993‑5 cytotoxicity testing. Final inspection includes visual check, functional test of all UI elements, and issuance of a calibration certificate traceable to national standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can the measurement sites be changed? The device uses a fixed 8‑point electrode layout optimized for whole‑body and segmental analysis; alternative sites require a different electrode configuration and are available as a custom option.
• What information is needed for a quotation? Please provide required electrode material, housing preference, language packs, any custom firmware features, and estimated annual quantity.
• Is the device suitable for use with pacemakers? Because it emits a low‑level alternating current, it is contraindicated for patients with implanted electronic devices; a medical clearance is required.
• How are export shipments protected? Units are packed in double‑wall corrugated boxes with internal foam inserts, moisture‑barrier bags, and shock‑indicating labels.
• What is the typical production lead time? Standard configurations ship within 4‑6 weeks after receipt of purchase order; customized orders may extend to 8‑10 weeks.
