Functions of the device
The purpose of this digital scale is weighing and calculating your personal fitness data.
It is intended for private use.
The scale is equipped with the following functions, which can be used by up to 10 different people:
• Body weight measurement
• Body fat percentage calculation
• Visceral fat percentage calculation (organ fat/abdominal fat)
• Body water content calculation
• Muscle percentage calculation
• Bone mass calculation
• Basal metabolic rate and active metabolic rate calculation.
The scale also includes the following additional features:
• Cross measurement with 8 electrodes allows for segment analysis, i.e. a separate display of individual
body parts (arms, legs, torso)
• Innovative menu navigation on large display (in 5 languages),
• Switch between kilograms "kg", pounds "lb" and stones "st"
• Battery replacement display for low batteries
• Automatic user recognition
• Storage of the last 30 measurements for 10 users if the data cannot be transferred to the app
• Guest mode (without memory function).
The measurement principle
This scale works on the principle of B.I.A. (bioelectrical impedance analysis). This involves the calculation
of body content in a matter of seconds, using a current that cannot be felt, is completely harmless and
does not pose any risk.
When this measurement of the electrical resistance (impedance) is considered alongside constants and/
or individual values (age, height, gender, activity level), the body fat percentage and other variables in
the body can be calculated. Muscle tissue and water conduct electricity well and therefore have a lower
resistance. In contrast, bones and fat tissue have low conductivity as the fat cells and bones are barely
able to conduct the current due to very high levels of resistance.
The electrical contact to the body is enhanced through 4 hand electrodes and 4 foot electrodes to achieve
a higher measurement accuracy and better analysis. This sensitive analysis technology means readings
may change slightly when measurements are repeated. This is caused by changes during the impedance
measurement (e.g. different electrical contact to the electrodes by the hands and feet, different distribution
of water in the body).
Please note that the values calculated by the diagnostic bathroom scale only represent an approximation of
the actual medical analytical values for the body. Only a specialist doctor can precisely establish the body
fat, body water, muscle percentage and bone structure using medical methods (e.g. computer tomography).
