Biospace InBody 720, User Manual, Page: 73 / 82

InBody is chosen by experts
InBody has been praised by the world s medical professionals
with its power to analyze and its clinical reliability. Biospace
has been concentrating its effort on making a superb body
composition analyzer. An accurate diagnosis is the basis for an
effective treatment.
InBody s technology is unparalleled
InBody s technology is patented as seed technology in advanced
countries across the world including the US, Japan and
European nations. Using 8-point tactile electrode method,
InBody measures body by segment, and it has body composition
analysis technology that does not resort to empirical estimates
like gender or age. These are InBody s unique technologies that
can be not compared.
InBody is the creation of essence of sophisticated
technology
As a high-tech device, InBody pushes the limit of frequency
that determines the performance of body composition analyzer.
InBody, a super-precision body composition analyzer, measures
resistance in broadband frequencies of 1kHz-1MHz and
reactance in mean frequencies.
The best customer service
Equipped with wide experience of clinical experiments and
database of over 20,000 persons, Clinical Research Team has
been providing the best service in areas of Q&A about body
composition analysis, its clinical application, provision of
obesity-related information, research support and the latest
research trend.

LBM was measured for 686 examinees
(361 men and 325 women) by whole body
DEXA scanning and using InBody as well,
and the results were compared and are
shown in the above graph. Visceral fat area (VFA) was measured for
332 examinees (162 men and 170
women) by CT imaging on the cross
section of abdomen and by InBody as
well. The results were compared and are
shown in the above graph.

Report of InBody s precision
Biospace has been striving to improve human health; it has explored new
realms of body composition analysis, leading the health care market with
the top quality body composition analyzers that have set the standard for
diagnosis of obesity and health care. Biospace focuses on product
development and clinical research with an effort to venture into the field
of electronic medical devices.
In recent years, people have come to recognize that obesity causes a wide
range of health problems. It is known that the most effective and scientific
way to prevent obesity is to analyze body composition on a regular basis.
Over the past decades, a technique has been developed which analyzes body
composition based on the electrical conductive properties of biological tissues.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis(BIA) has many advantages over other
methods in that it is safe, rapid and easy to perform, and requires minimum
operator training. Thus, the technique has become widely used in hospitals,
health centers, fitness clubs and in field studies.
Nevertheless, in detecting acute or chronic changes in body composition the
clinical usefulness of conventional BIA has been limited to healthy average
people. Due to localized fluid accumulation or loss, and inability to accurately
assess the balance between intracellular water(ICW) and extracellular
water(ECW), there is difficulty applying BIA method to people who really
need to analyze their body composition, such as patients, the elderly, children
and athletes.
Biospace has reinforced the conventional BIA method and proven its
technology through several clinical studies and research papers. Because the
body is not an isotropic electrical conductor with uniform cross-sectional
areas, we consider the body as consisting of five cylinders-four limbs and the
trunk-and measure the amount of body water segmentally. Moreover, we use
multifrequency to measure ICW and ECW separately. Thus, we do not have to
use empirical estimation to compensate for inaccuracy, which makes the
measurement insensitive.
We have acquired many patents and certifications, including FDA approval,
which is valued world-wide. Biospace, as a pioneer, is the only specialized
company for Body Composition Analyzers. We hope to see the body
composition analyzers in every hospital, health center and fitness club all
around the world.
