HOW THE SCAN WORKS

The InBody 570 measures and analyses an individual’s body composition in terms of water, fat, protein, muscle, bone mineral and much more.

The device can determine the weight of lean muscle tissue in each limb, the amount and percentage of body fat, bone mineral content, as well as a host of other valuable information.

It is the most advanced, accurate and precise body composition analyser due to the InBody’s four core technologies.

Four Core Technologies

8-Point Tactile Electrode System

A patented 8-point system of thumb point and palm technology is used to measure impedance. The measurement of impedance through any type of electrode, generates a resistance.

The unique method of electrode placement separates the current and voltage starting points, thus measurement begins at a fixed point in the wrists and ankles.

Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DMS-BIA)

Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impendence Analysis provides independent measurements for each cylinder of the body. This is important as the human body is comprised of five cylinders: the arms, the legs and the trunk.

The independent measurement of the trunk, precisely determines the visceral fat, bone mineral content, BMR and ECW/ ICW along with the fat and skeletal mass of the body’s extremities.

Multiple Electrical Current Frequencies

Electrical currents penetrate differently, depending on the frequency. Some frequencies are better suited for measuring body water outside the cell, while others can pass through cell membranes to measure total body water. InBody uses multiple currents at varying frequencies to provide the most precise body water analysis.

No estimations or guess work

Only impedance is used to calculate your results, no statistical/empirical data is needed. No adjustments for age, gender or ethnicity are required.

Together all of these technologies allow InBody devices to bring you the easiest, quickest, and most precise BIA body composition analysis in the world.
What is involved?

The process involves standing on a metal platform and holding onto two handles for roughly 60 seconds. In addition to your body fat percentage, the InBody 570 can tell you where your fat is stored and where you have water collecting in your body (edema), which can be a sign of injury or inflammation. It will also measure your RMR, BMR and relative strength of each of your limbs.

There is no other Body Composition Analyser on the market, which is extremely precise without the radiation!
