InBody270 near products that generate electrical interference such as fluorescent lights, large AC motor
equipment(treadmill, vibration plate, refrigerator, air-conditioner, compressor, etc.), high-frequency thermal
therapy equipments, or heating appliances. Do not share the power source of the InBody270 with other
electrical devices. This may affect the test results.
•When connecting the InBody270 with other test equipment, turn on the other equipment first. When
turning off other equipment, turn off the InBody270 first. This is necessary to minimize electrical surges
on the InBody270.
•Always use the specified adapter provided by InBody as it is a part of the InBody270. Using other adapters
may result in malfunction of the InBody270.
•Operation of the InBody270 2,000m above sea level may affect the weight measurement.
•Adapter must be arranged so that easily cut off the power when a problem occurs in the InBody270.

A.Precautionary Steps
DANGER
NOTECAUTION
참 조 주 의참 고 주 의
Warning
•
Individuals with medical implant devices such as pacemakers, or essential support devices such as patient
monitoring systems, must not use this equipment. Safe, low-level currents will flow through the body during
the test, which may cause malfunctioning of the device or endanger lives.
•
Children and people with limited mobility should be supervised or assisted when attempting to test on the InBody.
•
After an individual with any kind of contagious disease or infection tests on the InBody, use an InBody Tissue
to clean the equipment.
DANGER
NOTECAUTION
참 조 주 의참 고 주 의
Caution
•
Stand upright for about 5 minutes before testing. Taking the test immediately after lying in bed or sitting for
a long period of time might result in a slight change in the test results. This is because body water tends to
move to the lower body as soon as the person stands or gets up.
•
Do not eat before testing. In cases where the examinee has already eaten, the test should be put off for at least
two hours after the meal. This is because food mass is included in the examinee’s weight and thus, may result
in measurement errors.
•
Use the bathroom before testing. Waste is not included in the body’s compositional elements, but the volume
of urine and excrement is included in the weight measurement affecting accuracy of the test results.
•
Do not exercise before testing. Strenuous exercise or sharp movements can cause temporary changes in body
composition. Even light exercise can change your body composition temporarily.
•
Take the test in the morning, if possible. Body water tends to gravitate towards the lower body throughout
the day, affecting accuracy of the test results.
•
Thoroughly wipe the palms and soles with the InBody Tissue before testing. Testing may be difficult if the
examinee’s palms and soles are too dry or if the examinee has too many calluses.
•
Avoid contact with the examinee during testing. Contact may lead to interference affecting test results.
