I. Introduction
Thank you for having decided in favor of our smartLAB
®
fit body analyser scale. This pro-
duct enables you to measure your body weight as well as content of adipose, content of
water, muscle and bone mass. Please read the instructions carefully before you use the
scale for the first time and keep the instructions for a future use.
Principle of measurement
Your smartLAB
®
fit body analyser scale is based on the principle of the bioelectric impe-
dance analysis (BIA). A weak and non-perceptible and, therefore, not dangerous elec-
tric signal will be conducted through the whole body. The scale identifies the electric
resistance (impedance). Individual data such as age, body height, gender or degree of
activity allow to identify the adipose content and other parameters.
Muscle tissue and water have a good electric conductivity and, therefore, a lower resis-
tance than bone- and adipose tissue because adipose cells and bones hardly conduct
current.
Please note that the values of our smartLAB
®
fit body analyser scale are only an ap-
proach to the medical, real values of the body. Only a specialist who takes into account
medical methods (e. g. computer tomography) can identify the exact parameters like
adipose, content of water, content of muscles and bone structure.
