Further information should be provided by local waste disposal authorities. Usage of Results The FTG-168 is not a diagnostic product. BIA results are calculated based on impedance values validated with representative population studies and statistical analysis. As such, the technique is best suited for tracking progress for an individual over a period of time, or for categorizing large groups of people, rather than used as a one-time analysis.
Before Use 1.2 Connecting to o'Care app on smartphone The FTG-168 is designed to be used with the o'Care smartphone app, making it easy to track body composition results for as many users as needed. An iOS or Android device (with operational Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) is required to download the o'Care app, and retrieve measurement results from the product.

How to Use 3.2 Conducting measurement Impedance measurement in process. Heart rate measurement in process. After measurement completion, screen will alternate display of weight and heart rate. Product will send results to smartphone. (please open o'Care app prior to measurement, to allow product to automatically pair and sync) After result transfer is complete, product will automatically shut down.
How to Use 3.3 Measurement Results Explained Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI is a commonly used index by the World Health Organization (WHO), utilizing height and weight to classify underweight, normal, over, and obesity in adults. Category BMI (kg/m2) Risk of obesity-related disease Under <...

How to Use 3.3 Measurement Results Explained Body Age Your calculated metabolism is compared to average BMR for your age and gender group. Body Water Body water refers to the water contained in the tissues, blood, bones, and elsewhere. Body water in a healthy (non-obese) adult can fluctuate by roughly 5% daily, influenced by physiological activity and consumption of food and drink .

How to Use 3.3 Measurement Results Explained Muscle Percentage While a high body fat percentage can increase the risk of obesity-related diseases, a high muscle percentage is not inherently associated with health risks. Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle mass can be developed actively through proper nutrition and training, thus making this value an important indicator for evaluation of fitness progression.
How to Use 3.4 About Bioelectrical Impedance Measurement The FTG-168 uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to calculate body composition. At its core, BIA operates by treating the human body as an electrical conductor with in an alternating current circuit, from which the alternating current resistance and impedance is measured.

How to Use 3.4 About Bioelectrical Impedance Measurement 2. Affect of food and drink on measurement results. Ingestion of food and drink can affect impedance and weight, and thus analysis results. This change generally lasts 2-5 hours after each meal. For most accurate results, BIA measurements should ideally be conducted in a fasting state (e.g.
4. Wipe the platform and display using clean soft cloth. Avoid rough, sticky cloth, to prevent scratching the measurement platform and screen panels. 4.2 Service and maintenance The FTG-168 does not contain user-maintained parts. Service and maintenance not described in this user manual should be performed only by authorized technicians.
