Bioimpedance Spectroscopy

Use of the Bodystat 1500MDD

The Bodystat MDD works the same way as the Bodystat 1500, using 4 electrodes, the subject is lying down, and the measurement results are available within seconds.

The MDD comes with body composition and hydration software for a full analysis of the subjects cellular health, nutrition status and overall fitness and health.

Practitioners or clinicians are therefore able to give accurate assessment of a patient’s health and whether nutritional therapy or a wellness program is working in the correct way.

The MDD gives additional insight into what is happening inside the body, in order for the practitioner to make the correct judgement on therapy, drugs and advice.

It works by passing a safe battery generated signal through the body and measuring the impedance at two frequencies of 5 kHz and 50 kHz. Once the test has been performed the Display Options are shown within five seconds. A complete body composition analysis is displayed comprising Body Fat, Lean Body Mass, Dry Lean Mass, Total Body Water and Optimal Ranges. Metabolic Rates, Waist/Hip Ratio, BMI, BFMI, FFMI, Intra- and Extra-Cellular Water, Phase Angle and a Wellness MarkerTM (Impedance Ratio) are also displayed on the Colour touch screen

Bodystat 1500MDD

The Bodystat 1500MDD is the advanced version of the Bodystat 1500 with added functions such as cellular health and nutritional status monitoring. It is the machine of choice for Dietitians and Nutritionists.

MEASUREMENTS:

  • Body Fat % and Fat Weight
  • Lean Mass % and Lean Mass
  • Body Water % and Body Water in litres
  • Plus Normal Levels of above
  • Extra-Cellular Water % and Volume
  • Intra-Cellular Water % and Volume
  • Dry Lean Mass
  • Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
  • BMR/Body Weight*
  • Average Daily Calorie Requirement*
  • Body Mass Index – Plus Normal Range
  • Body Fat Mass Index (BFMI)*

BodyStat MultiScan 5000

The MultiScan is a spectroscopy (BIS) device to measure the Body Composition, Hydration & Volume of Fluid Overload in litres, particularly for Dialysis, Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Lymphoedem.

Features, Benefits & Uses of the BodyStat MultiScan 5000

Accuracy, reproducibility with improved health outcomes
The latest generation MultiScan 5000 offers significant enhancements.
Elimination of stary capacitance ensuring precise, accuate & reproducible measurements.
Precise Cole-Cole model value parameters eliminating ‘Hook Effect’ & the need for time-consuming clinician intervention.
Precise & stable Impedance & Phase Angle values on multiple frequencies ensuring high quality BIS measurements.
New Low capacitance & durable electrode lead wires with improved performance at high frequencies.
BIVA vector analysis seen on display as well as in the Body Manager BIS software

Convenience
Lightweight & Portable enabling convenience & portability
Innoative wireless charging providing convenience & safety
Remote access for version update & system diagnosis

Uses
Prediction Marker & Phase Angle measure cellular health for multiple applications
Cachexia : tracking change in the rehabilitation of cachectic patients (cancer, heart failure or other chronic conditions)
Sarcopenia : tracking change in Muscle Mass in Sarcopenic patients
Rental Dialysis : measuremenet of the Volume of Fluid Overload in Litres pre & post dialysis
Lymphodema : Early indicator for fluid shifts in Lymphodema patients
Critical Care : Detect malnutrition in patients using body cell mass to encusre that expansion of extracellular fluid is not obscured by monitoring total body weight only COVID-19
