Body Fat Analyzer

The body composition consisting of the human body is divided into four: body water, protein, minerals, and fat. This Body Fat Analyzer measures resistances when electric current flows through the human body to estimate body composition (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)). Containing the water that conducts electricity well, muscles have low resistances; on the other hand, fat contains no water and has high resistances. Based on these differences, body composition is measured, and the measured information is provided by the app.
This product can be used with mobile devices.( iPhone 5S iOS 9.0 or later / Android OS 4.3.3 or later)

Safety Precautions When Measuring Body Composition

1. Body composition measurement may be affected by food/water intake, sweating or urination, menstrual cycles, changes in water content throughout the day, outside temperature, body temperature, etc.
2. As water metabolism in the body works by the hour, make sure to measure at the same time of day at room temperature (20~25℃).
3. In order to avoid errors caused by water content in the body, please measure after at least two hours after waking up.
4. In order to avoid errors caused by food, please measure while fasting before a meal or two hours after a meal.
5. Please measure after discharging feces and urine.
6. Measure before doing exercise or action that may reduce body water.
7. If you measure after extreme exercise or at high body temperature, the measurement result may change.
8. If you move or talk while measuring, the measurement result may change.
9. Please stand up for about five minutes before measuring body composition and sit without putting the armpit and thigh on the body for the measurement.
10. It is recommended that women not take measurements when the body’s water content increases during their menstrual cycle as the measurement result can be inaccurate in the period.
11. Please remove electronic devices or metal accessories from your body before measuring.
12. If you have metal implants in your body, please do not measure.

2. Using IoT Body Composition Measuring Instrument

1. Make sure your mobile phone and the app are connected.

2. Extend your arms to hold four electrodes correctly with your thumb and index fingers.

3. Please don’t move or speak while measuring.
   ※ Keep your arms straight and do not talk or move during the measurement.

4. After measuring is completed, as shown in the picture , push the electrodes toward the center and insert them to the device as shown in the image.

5. Check the measurement result on the app.

* Tips for More Precise Measurement

1. Please stand up for about five to ten minutes, and then sit for the measurement.
2. In order to avoid errors caused by food, measure while fasting before a meal or two hours after a meal.
3. Please don’t move or speak while measuring.

* How to Manage the Instrument

• Please make sure the electrodes of the instrument are not stained with foreign substances.
  (If there is any foreign substance on the device, remove it with a dry cloth before using.)

Directions for Body Composition Measurement

1. Consult with an expert first if you consider a diet/exercise program for the purpose of weight loss.

2. Do not use the measuring instrument near a device that generates and uses strong electromagnetic
   waves such as a microwave oven. It may occur as a measurement error.

3. Please be careful of any foreign substance on the electrodes of the measuring instrument. If there is
   any foreign substance on the device, remove it with a soft cloth, or with a minimum amount of water,
   cleaner and spray if required, before using.

4. The simultaneous use of the extraction function and the body composition measurement function may occur a measurement error.

5. Please do not take measurements while pregnant or suspected to be pregnant or during menstruation.

6. This product may affect pacemakers, ECG-related medical appliances, artificial hearts, heart-lung machines,s, and other medical devices. Thus, do not use this product if you are using one of those devices.

7. Do not use the instrument for the elderly or the physically and mentally weak.

8. Do not use the measurement instrument for purposes other than the specified.
