General Instructions

Transtek Body Fat Analyzer GBF-1267-F applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology. A small amount of weak current flows through the human body so as to detect the bio-impedance and estimate BMI, body fat, body water, muscle mass, and bone mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.
This BIA technology is cheap, safe, non-invasive, toxic-free, and harmless. It also possesses the characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.
The current mentioned above is less than 0.5mA. However, please be aware that anyone with a wearable or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker, must avoid using this device.

The intended use of this device is for healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults.

Health Tips – About Body Fat

Human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. Body fat is vital for a healthy, functioning body, protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat will damage to your health. It is difficult to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the mirror.
This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone–the composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather than fat-you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates‘ normal weight’.
The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Health Tips – About Body Water

Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a number of important roles in the body:
All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else, can only function properly if they have enough water. Water also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration.
The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.
The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Health Tips – About Bone Mass
Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones. Like a muscle, bone is a living tissue that can respond to exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass peaks in their thirties. Then people begin to lose bone. Regular exercise can help prevent that loss.
Calcium and vitamin D, good sources of which are dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fish, contribute to healthy bones.
The bone mass readings given by this product are an estimation of the amount of bone in your body. Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get accurate estimations. If you have any concern regarding your bones please consult your doctor timely.

The table as follows may be used as a guide:
Bone Mass Percentage
(Source: Rico et al.1993)

The average bone mass percentage for both men and women is between 4 to 5%.

Health Tips – About BMI
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. The Analyzer will calculate your BMI on your height and weight.
The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Warning： Don’t near active HF surgical equipment and the RF shielded room of an ME system for magnetic resonance imaging, where the intensity of EM disturbances is high.
Warning： Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
Warning: Use of accessories, transducers, and cables other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.”
Warning： Portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external antennas) should be used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to any part of the equipment GBF-1267-F, including cables specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
Warning：At least 2 hours required for the device to warm/cool from the minimum / maximum storage temperature between uses until it is ready for the intended use.
