MEASUREMENT ANALYSIS
Precaution for measurement
• The reliability of the results can be assessed by its accuracy. The “Accuracy” of the device is determined by comparing the actual body composition and the results
from Body Composition Analyzer. The “Reproducibility” is determined when the device gives the identical results under the same conditions. In order to maintain the
accuracy of the results, the following guidelines should be kept.
①
Water volume increases after a meal. Therefore, measure on an empty stomach.
• - Measure 3 ~ 4 hours after a meal.
• - Avoid beverages containing caffeine or beverages functioning as diuretics 4 hours before measurement.
• - Drink 2 cups of water 2 hours before the measurement.
②
Before measurement, the subject should be in a stable condition.
• - Measure 3 ~ 4 hours after a bath, a sauna, exercise or activity that sweats a lot.
• - Or measure before these actions.
③
Avoid drinking alcohol 24 hours before the measurement
⑪
Wear clothes as light as possible.
⑫
Once the subject is on the scale, avoid sudden movement from sitting to standing position. Body fluid goes down to the lower body and affects the results. Thus
subjects should be measured after maintaining standing position for 5 minutes.
⑥
Clean both the electrodes and measuring body parts.
⑦
Changes in room temperature may affect the results. Measurement should be done in a temperature around 20 °C.
⑧
Body composition and weight varies even during a day. Therefore, the measurement should be performed at the same time every day. For a person who stands for a
long period of time during the day, it is advised to measure in the morning.
⑨
Go to bathroom before measurement.
⑩
Maintain correct position and posture during the measurement
