   • Caution: Using the InBody270 on carpet may cause static electricity, which could damage the equipment. If installing the InBody270 on carpet is unavoidable, please use an antistatic mat.
   • Install the InBody270 on a leveled, non-vibrating surface. Installing the equipment on an uneven surface may cause the examinee to fall down. Test results may also be inaccurate.
   • Never clean the hand and foot electrodes with liquid spray or detergent directly. The equipment may corrode and/or malfunction if the liquid or detergent leaks inside. Use the InBody Tissue when cleaning the InBody270.
3. Level the InBody270 by rotating the leveling screws under the footplate to the left and right so that the air bubble is centered.
   • Leveling the equipment is necessary for accurate measurement of weight. There are a total of 4 leveling screws.
   • Caution:  Avoid injuring your hands when rotating the leveling screws under the footplate.

InBody Test

Precautionary Steps

Warning

• Individuals with medical implant devices such as pacemakers, or essential support devices such as patient monitoring systems, must not use this equipment. Safe, low-level currents will flow through the body during the test, which may cause malfunctioning of the device or endanger lives.
• Children and people with limited mobility should be supervised or assisted when attempting to test on the InBody.
• After an individual with any kind of contagious disease or infection tests on the InBody, use an InBody Tissue to clean the equipment.

Caution

• Stand upright for about 5 minutes before testing. Taking the test immediately after lying in bed or sitting for a long period of time might result in a slight change in the test results. This is because body water tends to move to the lower body as soon as the person stands or gets up.
• Do not eat before testing. In cases where the examinee has already eaten, the test should be put off for at least two hours after the meal. This is because food mass is included in the examinee’s weight and thus, may result in measurement errors.
• Use the bathroom before testing. Waste is not included in the body’s compositional elements, but the volume of urine and excrement is included in the weight measurement affecting accuracy of the test results.
• Do not exercise before testing. Strenuous exercise or sharp movements can cause temporary changes in body composition. Even light exercise can change your body composition temporarily.
• Take the test in the morning, if possible. Body water tends to gravitate towards the lower body throughout the day, affecting accuracy of the test results.
• Thoroughly wipe the palms and soles with the InBody Tissue before testing. Testing may be difficult if the examinee’s palms and soles are too dry or if the examinee has too many calluses.
• Avoid contact with the examinee during testing. Contact may lead to interference affecting test results.

Test Instructions

1. Step on the footplate when the screen below is shown.
   • The screens vary according to the Settings of the Administrator Menu ‘02. Self Mode/Professional Mode’.
   • Professional Mode: An examiner is present and guiding the examinee through the InBody Test.
   • Self Mode: The examinee takes the InBody Test following the instructions that are displayed on screen.
2. Weight measurement begins.
3. Input personal information.
   • In Professional Mode, enter the ID.
   • Input height only if using Self Mode.
4. Maintain proper posture to take the test.
   • Refer to «C. Test Posture» for the proper posture.
5. The InBody Test begins.
6. When the test is completed, the results will be shown on screen.

Test Posture

• The examinee must maintain proper posture to have accurate test results.
• The test will proceed when there is good electrical contact.

Transportation and Storage

Cautions during Transportation

• When transporting, have two people keep the InBody270 parallel to the ground.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Even if no problems arise from the equipment, users may still have many questions, especially regarding clinical procedures. Few common questions and answers are listed below. If your questions are not answered here, please contact InBody.
• Customer contact information can be found under Settings of the Administrator Menu «24. Customer Service Information».

Regarding the InBody

If a problem arises with the InBody270, you may first attempt to check the ‘Troubleshooting’ in the Administrator Menu. The InBody270 can help you diagnose and solve some problems. If your problem cannot be resolved through the ‘Troubleshooting’, please refer to the possible solutions below.

• My touchscreen is inaccurate or not responsive.

|

---|---

• I would like to connect other equipment to the InBody270.

|

• Please refer to «E. Connecting Printer, Thermal Printer, Stadiometer, Blood Pressure Monitor, Barcode Reader and SD400» in section «I. InBody270 Installation» in this User’s Manual.

Regarding the InBody Test

Some of the more common clinical questions are answered below. If additional questions or more clarification is desired, please contact InBody.

• Must socks or stockings be removed for the InBody Test?

|

• Bare skin contact is essential in the analysis using the BIA method. Socks or stockings may cause a varying degree of distortion in the results. Socks or stockings must be removed to obtain accurate data.

• Is it okay to wear accessories (jewelry, watch, rings, etc) or metal objects while taking the InBody Test?

|

• The ideal condition for the analysis is simply standing with no clothes and wearing no accessories. However, this may not always be possible.

Therefore, we recommend that the examinee remove as many clothing items and accessories that may affect the weight as possible.

• Who cannot take the InBody Test or will have difficulties taking the InBody Test?

|

• Individuals with medical implant devices such as pacemakers, or essential support devices such as patient monitoring systems, must not use this equipment. The currents will flow through the body during the test, which may cause malfunctioning of the device or endanger lives.

• Children, amputees, or the elderly, may have trouble testing if they cannot hold the hand electrodes or stand still on the foot electrodes.

• Can a person with metal implants in the body take the InBody Test?

|

• The ideal test methodology is where the examinee does not wear anything metallic. Individuals with metallic implants may have skewed test results due to the conductivity of the metal affecting the results.

• As the weight of clothes and other wear affects the results of the body composition analysis, it is strongly recommended to take off any heavy clothing or metallic wear. Except for the weight, jewelry does not effect the body composition analysis, as the contact point with the InBody270 are hands and feet.

• I have limited mobility and cannot maintain proper posture for the InBody Test. How can I still be tested?

|

• It is impossible to test if an individual cannot maintain contact with the hand or foot electrodes. InBody has a line of products that conduct body composition analysis on bed ridden examinees that allow the patients to stay in bed. For more information, please contact InBody.

• Is the electric current harmful to the body?

|

• The physiological electric impedance method uses safe low level currents that is not harmful to the body. The safety of the InBody has been tested and proven. The InBody products have been approved for medical use by the CE and all over the world. Many medical institutions around the world are actively using the InBody.

• How often should I take the InBody Test?

|

• Individuals who are undergoing any programs that may affect their body composition are strongly recommended to have the InBody Test done every two to four weeks.

• Consistent testing will allow individuals to track and monitor their progress over time.

• What are the precautionary steps to ensure accuracy of the InBody Test?

|

• Please refer to «A. Precautionary Steps» in section «II. InBody Test» in this User’s Manual.
