Applications
- Patients with poor mobility
- Nephrology
- Cardiology
- ICU
Reliability you can trust
- Fully mobile unit with battery backup
- No reliance on empirical estimation
- Reproducible electrode system ( 8 point tactile electrodes or adhesive electrodes)
- Multi frequency analysis ( 1kHz, 5kHz , 50 kHz , 250 kHz, 500 kHz, 1000kHz) – accurate assessment of ICW & ECW.
- Full segmental analysis
- Ability to set measurements at timed intervals
- Research modes (Resistance, reactance & phase angle)
- Measurement range:
- Weight 10Kg – 250Kg
- Age 6yrs – 99yrs
Outputs
- Body composition – comprising of intracellular fluid, extra cellular fluid, protein mass, mineral mass, fat mass.
- Muscle fat analysis – comprising weight, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass.
- Obesity diagnosis – BMI, Percentage Body Fat and WHR.
- Body water – segmental measurement of water distribution.
- Segmental oedema – reflects normal or an excess of body fluid.
- Visceral fat analysis.
- Evaluation of nutrition, weight, obesity, body balance and body strength.
- Additional data –Estimated dry weight, Body Cell Mass, Bone Mineral content, BMR, Total arm circumference vs. arm muscle circumference.
- Weight control in terms of overall loss/gain split between muscle and fat plus gives an oedema score.
Derwent Healthcare are the UK distributors for the Biospace range of body composition analysers that utilise Bioimpedance to accurately measure body fat, skeletal muscle mass, BMI BMR and total body water. All combine the use of multi frequency current with direct segmental measurement
