information

the measuring principle
This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This
e nables the measurement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an undetect-
able, completely harmless electric current. The body fat percentage and other physical relation-
ships in the body can be determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and
calculating constants and individual parameters such as age, height, gender and degree of
activity.
Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance.
Bones and fatty tissue, on the other hand, have low conductivity as fat cells and bones conduct
hardly any current as a result of their very high resistance.
Please be aware that values obtained from the diagnostic scale represent only an approxima-
tion of actual analytical medical data. Only a specialist physician can accurately determine
body fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical procedures
(e.g. c omputed tomography).
general tips
If possible, always weigh yourself at the same time of day (preferably in the morning), after
using the toilet, on an empty stomach and unclothed, in order to achieve comparable
results.
Important for the measurement: only measure body fat when barefoot and with the soles of
the feet slightly moist. Completely dry soles can result in unsatisfactory measurements due
to inadequate conductivity.
Stand still and upright during the measurement.
Wait a few hours after unaccustomed physical activity.
Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up in the morning to allow the water in the body to
distribute.
Remember that only long-term trends are important. Short-term changes in weight within a
few days are usually caused by a loss of luid. Body water plays an important role towards
our general wellbeing.
limitations
When measuring body fat and other values, deviating and implausible results may occur in:
children under approx. 10 years,
competitive athletes and body builders,
pregnant women (due to the amniotic luid),
persons with fever, undergoing dialysis treatment or with symptoms of edema or
osteoporosis,
persons taking cardiovascular medication (afecting the heart and vascular system),
persons taking vascular dilating or vascular constricting medication,
persons with considerable anatomic deviations of the legs in relation to total body size
(length of the legs considerably shortened or lengthened).
