The analysis should be carried out ideally before exercise and on an empty stomach and bladder. We do not like to scan immediately after exercise as the electronic pulses pass through quicker than normal which impacts results.

The analysis should not be carried out after a shower or the use of a sauna, as sweat and heat causes temporary change in conductivity within the body.

Wear comfortable clothing, ideally removing any items with metal zippers, snaps, fasteners, belts and underwire bras. Please also remove all jewellery where possible.

To effectively track and monitor results, subsequent testing should be carried out under similar conditions (i.e. similar clothing, testing time, before eating or exercising etc.)

Thoroughly wipe palms and soles with the InBody tissue before testing, as conductivity is of paramount importance.

It is important to note that body composition results will be affected in the case of pregnancy, breast augmentation, irremovable piercing, metals plates, pins, screws, metal prosthetic joints or where a pacemaker, defibrillator or nerve stimulator are present. It is not advised to scan if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker.

Avoid contact and talking during the analysis, this may lead to interference affecting test results. At Body Scan Solutions we always suggest a qualified healthcare professional should be consulted to effectively evaluate your overall scan if any abnormalities are noted.
