Indications for use
The Quantum-III measures or calculates the following values:
Resistance, Reactance, Impedance, Phase Angle, Body Fat* (FAT), Fat-Free Mass/Lean
Body Mass* (FFM/LBM), Total Body Water* (TBW), Intra-Cellular Water* (ICW), Extra-
Cellular Water* (ECW), Basal Metabolic Rate* (BMR), Daily Energy Expenditure* (DEE),
Body Mass Index (BMI)
* Estimated
Intended population / usage
The Quantum-III is intended to be used on normally healthy individuals aged 12-90, who
have not had an arm or leg amputated. It is not intended to diagnose or treat a disease or
medical condition.
Contraindications

INTENDED USAGE
Warnings
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) devices, like the Quantum-III, operate by introduc-
ing an alternating current (AC) signal into a body, and then detecting how that signal is af-
fected by the body. This device should not be used on subjects with any implantable elec-
tronic devices such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).
Women who are tested with this device should not be pregnant or suspected of being preg-
nant. Besides increased inaccuracy of readings in this condition, the effects of the measure-
ment on the fetus are unknown.
Precautions
Failure to follow the subject preparation and testing procedures (detailed on pages 15-16)
may result in incorrect readings.
The person performing the BIA tests must also be able to demonstrate proficiency in elec-
trode placement. See page 15 for conducting a proficiency test.
