A General Instructions for Accurate Measurement
The body composition analyzer is designed for standard and athletic individual* However, certain individuals may
not receive accurate results, as they fall outside the population for which Tamta equations werr developed
• Because this body composition analyzer uses a minor ciretnc current to measure impedance (electrical resistance),
best results »ill be observed when measurement is taken in bare fees
• Poor contact between the leet and electrodes may produce an error m ran ge Heels should be placed directly on
top of the posterior electrodes, while the Irani part «| the tom needs to he in con lad with the anterior electrodes.
Also, make sure the soles of the feet are free of rsces* dirt as this may ad as a barrier to the mild current.
• 11111.1 ,ic «•. .illuses on the soles of the feet oe an individual la wearing thin nylons, accurate mea sur eme n t may still
be possible. Place 05cc of saline or water In the center of each electrode This will ad as a conductive material, ami
may allow the current to pas* freely through a thin bsmrr
• Keep the electrodes clean bv wiping them with disinfectant
• I hictuations in hydration status may aftret body uimpuMtiun results
• Wwallers should confirm proper hydration tic unm sprafir gravity iUM.i n-*ti"iM Molt asaaaslng body (at
