Standard Procedure

NOTE: This test requires instructions regarding administration of the test to specific individuals. Understanding the standardized usage instructions is imperative to administering an exam. Instructions are available in the full manual.

  1. Take all measurements from the right side of the body. You should carefully identify, measure, and mark all sites for accuracy and consistency.
  2. It is better to take measurements when the skin is dry because when the skin is moist or wet, the tester may grasp extra skin (fat) and get larger values.
  3. The skinfold is grasped firmly by the thumb and index finger. In grasping the skinfold, the pads at the tip of the thumb and finger are used. The fold should be lifted 1 cm above the site to be measured.
  4. Grasp the caliper and release the grip so that full compression is exerted on the skinfold. Read to the nearest 1 mm, 3 to 4 seconds after the grip has been released.
  5. A minimum of two measurements should be taken at each site. If the repeated measurement varies by more than 1mm, a third measurement should be taken.

NOTE: If consecutive fat measurements become smaller and smaller, the fat is being compressed. The tester should go on to the next site and return to the trouble spot after finishing the other measurements. The final value will be the average of the two that seem to best represent the skinfold fat site.

Limited Warranty
Lafayette Instrument Company warrants equipment to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of shipment, except as provided hereinafter. This assumes normal usage under commonly accepted operating parameters and excludes consumable products.
Warranty period for repairs or used instrumentation purchased from Lafayette Instrument is 90 days. Lafayette Instrument Company agrees either to repair or replace, at its sole option and free of part charges to the customer, instrumentation which, under proper and normal conditions of use, proves to be defective within the warranty period. Warranty for any parts of such repaired or replaced instrumentation shall be covered under the same limited warranty and shall have a warranty period of 90 days from the date of shipment or the remainder of the original warranty period whichever is greater. This warranty and remedy are given expressly and in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose and constitutes the only warranty made by Lafayette Instrument Company.
Lafayette Instrument Company neither assumes nor authorizes any person to assume for it any other liability in connection with the sale, installation, service or use of its instrumentation.
Lafayette Instrument Company shall have no liability whatsoever for special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind from any cause arising out of the sale, installation, service or use of its instrumentation.
All products manufactured by Lafayette Instrument Company are tested and inspected prior to shipment. Upon prompt notification by the Customer, Lafayette Instrument Company will correct any defect in warranted equipment of its manufacture either, at its option, by return of the item to the factory, or shipment of a repaired or replacement part. Lafayette Instrument Company will not be obliged, however, to replace or repair any piece of equipment, which has been abused, improperly installed, altered, damaged, or repaired by others.
Defects in equipment do not include decomposition, wear, or damage by chemical action or corrosion, or damage incurred during shipment.
Limited Obligations Covered by this Warranty

  2. This warranty does not cover damage to components due to improper installation by the customer.
  3. Consumable and or expendable items, including but not limited to electrodes, lights, batteries, fuses, O-rings, gaskets, and tubing, are excluded from warranty.
  4. Failure by the customer to perform normal and reasonable maintenance on instruments will void warranty claims.
  5. If the original invoice for the instrument is issued to a company that is not the company of the end user, and not an authorized Lafayette Instrument Company distributor, then all requests for warranty must be processed through the company that sold the product to the end user, and not directly to Lafayette Instrument Company.
