Omron BF511 Clinically Validated Full Body Composition Monitor with 8 High Precision Sensors for Hand-to-foot Measurement - Blue

Product Information

Chabin X, et al (2019). Bioimpedance analysis is safe in patients with implanted cardiac electronic devices. The results showed that body fat scales underestimated body fat, though they accurately measured body weight. Are body fat scales safe? The BCM-500 measures body composition based on human physiology. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissue, which contain high water content and conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue which stores little water and, therefore, has little electric conductivity. This electric conductivity is also known as “impedance.” This monitor uses the Bioelectric Impedance (BI) method, which sends a low-level electrical current through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue. Along with your height, weight, age and gender information, this monitor determines your body composition. Personalised Health Insights. These are daily, weekly, or monthly messages regarding your health with tips.

You can share the information you glean from the monitor with your doctor, but your doctor will know you and your body best, so always follow his or her advice.

Individuals who have a pacemaker implanted medical device or who are pregnant should not use body fat monitors that have an electrical current. We implement rigorous processes and procedures in OMRON Healthcare, such as training, and regular evaluation and assessment of measures taken. o Tap on the “Forget This Device” button to remove the OMRON device from the Bluetooth my device setting. Some reviewers report a slight fluctuation in weight readings, so you may want to get on the scale a few times to make sure it is accurate. Readings are best taken first thing in the morning before eating breakfast or taking a shower. If you need to get a reading during the day, wait at least two hours after eating to get on the monitor.Ensure that Autosync is ON for the paired device. This can be verified by tapping on the (…) sign –> Go to Profile → Go to connected devices → Verify Auto-Sync is ON. Yes, body fat scales are safe for most people to use. However, they are not recommended for children or pregnant people. If you want to use a body fat scale during pregnancy, many scales have specific pregnancy features that disable the body composition measurement.

Determine how the body fat monitor works. Some simply require you to stand on a scale. Some models work a bit differently. With these models, users must hold a bar that is attached to the scale while an electrical current passes from their hands to their feet.Yes. We have implemented reasonable precautions to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. A 2021 study tested the accuracy of three smart body fat scales and compared the results with values from dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which is the gold standard of body composition. NOTE: DO NOT use this device if you have a cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator or other implanted metallic or electronic device; such use could cause these devices to malfunction causing serious health risks or death to users
