Inquire NowA medical body composition analyzer employs multi‑frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to separate the body into fat, lean, and water compartments. By sending low‑level currents through segmental electrodes, the instrument measures resistance and reactance at frequencies ranging from 5 kHz to 500 kHz, enabling calculation of intracellular and extracellular water. Wholesale distribution supports OEM integration, private‑label branding, and bulk supply to hospitals, clinics, and wellness centers.
BIA relies on the fact that different tissues conduct electricity differently; lean tissue and fluid are conductive, while fat acts as an insulator. The analyzer applies a alternating current of less than 0.8 mA, well below sensory thresholds, and measures the resulting voltage drop. Impedance values are combined with height, weight, age, and gender in validated equations to derive body‑composition percentages.

In hospital settings, the analyzer supports dialysis monitoring by tracking fluid shifts between compartments, reducing the risk of over‑hydration or dehydration. In bariatric clinics, segmental lean‑mass tracking assists surgeons in evaluating preoperative nutritional status and postoperative rehabilitation progress. Wellness centers use the device for corporate health‑screening programs, where repeatable, operator‑independent measurements enable longitudinal risk‑stratification for metabolic syndrome. Research laboratories benefit from the open SDK, allowing custom protocols for studies on sarcopenia, edema, or nutritional interventions.
Each unit undergoes a four‑stage test protocol: incoming inspection of electrode material biocompatibility, functional verification of impedance accuracy against a precision resistor network, electrical safety testing per IEC 60601‑1 (dielectric strength, leakage current), and environmental stress cycling (temperature ± 15 °C, humidity 85 % RH). Statistical process control monitors key parameters such as electrode contact impedance (< 5 kΩ) and repeatability (CV < 1.5 % across 10 consecutive measurements). Documentation of calibration traceability to national standards is provided with every shipment.
Yes. The external envelope can be adjusted in 5 mm increments for width, height, and depth to fit existing kiosks or carts, subject to maintaining electrode spacing and clearance for the load‑cell platform.
We need the anticipated annual volume, target certification markets (e.g., FDA, CE, Health Canada), required electrode configuration, any branding or housing modifications, and preferred data‑interface (USB, Bluetooth, LAN). This enables accurate tooling and firmware costing.
For a standard configuration with no housing changes, lead time is 6‑8 weeks after receipt of purchase order and approval of final artwork. Custom housing or electrode tooling adds 2‑4 weeks.
Units are packed in double‑wall corrugated cartons with interior foam inserts sized to the device dimensions. Each carton includes a shock‑indicator label and is sealed with moisture‑barrier bags for overseas transit.
