A.General Information
Thank you for choosing this Charder Medical device. It is designed to be easy and
straightforward to operate, but if you encounter any problems not addressed in this manual,
please contact your local Charder service partner.Before beginning operation of the device,
please read this user manual carefully, and keep it in a safe place for reference. It contains
important instructions regarding installation, proper usage, and maintenance.
Intended Use
This device is intended to estimate body composition by measuring and monitoring the weight
and bioelectrical impedance of subjects who can stand unassisted. This device is only for
professional use at clinics and hospitals
Caution : General Handling
■ This device is intended for indoor use only.
■ Do not place the device on slippery surfaces.
■ Ensure all parts are properly locked and tightened before operating the device.
■ Device is intended to measure one subject at a time.
Electric Shock
■ Do not touch the power supply with wet hands.
■ Do not crimp the power cable, and avoid sharp edges.
■ Do not overload extension cables connected to the device.
■ Route the network and power cable carefully, to avoid tripping.
■ Keep the device away from liquids.
Caution : Injuries and Infections
■ Ensure that subjects do not have wounds or contagious diseases on the palms of their
hands or the soles of their feet.
■ For hygiene purposes, Charder recommends cleaning the measuring platform after
each measurement with a soft cloth and alcohol.
■ Ensure that the measuring platform is dry before usage.
I. SAFETY NOTES
During measurement, this machine will send a low level imperceptible electrical current
throughout the body. Individuals with implanted medical devices, such as:
1. Pacemakers
2. Electronic lungs and other electronic medical life support equipment
3. ECG devices must not use this machine, as the electric current may affect the implanted
device, endangering lives.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, this device should be plugged into a grounded electrical
outlet.

Preventing Device Damage
■Please contact your local Charder distributor for regular maintenance and calibration.
■This device does not contain any user-maintained parts. All maintenance, technical
inspections, and repairs should be conducted by an authorized Charder service
partner, using original Charder accessories and spare parts. Charder is not liable for
any damages arising from improper maintenance or usage. Dismantlement of the
device will void the warranty.
■Take care to make sure fluids do not enter the device, as they may damage the
internal electronics.
■Switch off the device before disconnecting the power supply.
■Do not place the device in direct sunlight, or in close proximity to an intense heat
source. Excessively high temperatures may damage the internal electronics.
■Strong cleaning agents can damage the measuring platform's surface.
Caution
Caution
Alcohol wipes can be used to clean the electrodes and weighing platform.
Alcohol-based cleaning solutions should not be used on the touch screen.
Usage of Results
■The MA801 is not a diagnostic device. Results should be interpreted with assistance
from a professional.
■BIA results are calculated based on impedance values validated with representative
population studies and statistical analysis. As such, the technique is best suited for
tracking progress for an individual over a period of time, or for categorizing large
groups of people, rather than used as a one-time analysis. Accuracy of results is
highly dependent on proper measurement procedure. For more information on
getting the best results, please see Chapter VI. (INSTRUCTIONS FOR
OPERATION)

I. SAFETY NOTES
a Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV
broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic
environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be consid-
ered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Body Composition Analyzer
MA801 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Body Composition
Analyzer MA801 should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the
Body Composition Analyzer MA801
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
The Body Composition Analyzer MA801 is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment
in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Body Compo-
sition Analyzer MA801 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum
distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
Body Composition Analyzer MA801 as recommended below, according to the maximum output
power of the communications equipment.

II. INTRODUCTION TO THE MA801
BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER
Body composition analysis describes what the body is made of, differentiating between body
water, protein minerals, and fat to provide more precise information beyond weight and BMI.
Body composition components are strongly related to different outcomes and regular
measurement is becoming increasingly valuable in practice.
There are many possible ways to estimate body composition. Some methods quick and
inexpensive, but can only provide basic information. Others are lengthy and expensive,
requiring usage of trained personnel and highly technical equipment. Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA) has become a widely accepted assessment method, as it is fast, simple,
non-invasive, and easily repeatable.
The MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyzer provides many relevant measurement
values and data that can be used by professionals track progress, and providing important
indicators. Boasting multiple measurement frequencies and sophisticated algorithms, Charder
stands by our devices with clinical trials and over ten years of original peer-reviewed scientific
research, for results you can trust.
