B. Regarding the Test
The question and answers regarding the BWA test are as follows.
Question
Answer
Do I have to remove my socks
or stockings?
•
If the test is carried out while wearing socks or stockings, the current will not flow
smoothly, and the test may not be performed correctly.
The skin must be in direct contact with the electrode for testing.
Is it OK to test, wearing
accessories or metallic
materials?
•
If accessories or metallic objects do not touch the electrodes, they will not have a
significant effect on the human body.
However, it is not recommended to wear it for accurate test results.
Is there any case where I must
not take a BWA test?
•
A person who is equipped with a medical device that is essential for life support, such as
pacemakers or patient monitoring devices, must not test.
Electronic medical devices may malfunction due to the current flowing through the human
body during the test.
Is it OK if I have a metallic
object inserted in my body?
•
Patients who have a metallic material inserted into their bodies may have different
conductivity that may affect the results of the test.
Do I have to use electrolyte
tissue? Can't I use a normal
wet towel?
•
The electrolyte tissue provided with the BWA2.0 is specially designed for
optimal measurement, unlike general wipes.
Use electrolyte tissue for accurate measurements.
Is the current flowing in the
test harmless to the human
body?
•
The BWA2.0 does not harm the human body because it uses minute electric
current. The safety of the BWA2.0 has been proven and is being used by many
medical institutions because the BWA2.0 has already obtained the national and
European medical device licenses.
How often should I have a
BWA test?
•
Testing every other week or once a month can effectively track BWA test results for
exercise prescriptions, hormonal prescriptions, obesity, and rehabilitation.
•
It's good to check up often, but it's also important to keep track of your body's changes
over time through steady tests.
*
Body changes can be seen on the BWA result screen and the BWA Results Sheet.
What precautions should I
follow to ensure accurate test
results?
•
Refer to "Precautions before Measurement" in "BWA Test" in this User's Manual.
