Overview
Body composition testing quantifies fat mass, lean tissue, and water distribution using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
A cost-effective device balances measurement accuracy with lower acquisition and maintenance expenses, making regular testing feasible for high‑volume settings.
Multi‑frequency BIA sends alternating currents at 5 kHz, 50 kHz, and 250 kHz through hand‑to‑foot electrodes, capturing intracellular and extracellular fluid pathways.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can electrode placement be customized for specific protocols?
Yes, the device supports optional adapters for hand‑to‑hand or foot‑to‑foot configurations, which can be selected based on the target population and required segmental detail.
What information is needed before a quotation is prepared?
Typical inputs include anticipated test volume, required measurement parameters, preferred power options (AC or battery), and any integration needs with existing software systems.
How is measurement accuracy verified in the field?
Accuracy checks involve comparing results against a reference method (such as DXA) on a small sample set and applying a correction factor if systematic bias exceeds 2 %.
