Technology
- Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) that depends on measuring the impedance of the body to an applying micro-currents and then measure the voltage drop. After that the Body water, Fat Free Mass and other body components can be obtained.
- InBody overcome the conventional BIA with the following four technologies:
1. Direct Segmental Measurement (DSM-BIA)
- It consider the human body as 5 cylinders (Right Arm, Left Arm, Trunk, Right Leg, and Left Leg) which are different in width & length & measure the impedance of each part separately & accurately.
- This also allow accurate measurement of the trunk impedance which very small and any small change/error in its measurement will affect its measured mass & the whole body mass.
2. Multi-frequency Electric Currents
- For accurate results of total body water, InBody S10 uses 6 different frequencies(1KHZ, 5KHZ, 50KHZ, 250KHZ, 500KHZ, 1000KHZ) the low frequencies allow accurately measuring of the extracellular water and high frequencies allow accurately measuring of the intracellular water.
3. Eight-Point Tactile Electrodes with Thumb:
- Allow segmental analysis & the ability to repeatedly start measurement at a fixed point regardless where the electrodes are placed which increase the accuracy and reproducibility of the results.
4. No Use of Empirical Estimation
- InBody S10 uses only the impedance rather than relying on empirical estimations which are based on the averages of statistical data such as age or gender..etc.
Applications
1-Check the patient’s water status.
Segmental water analysis, segmental ECW ratio analysis and all kinds of body composition analysis are provided.
2-Determine whether the dialysis is operative on the patient
Dialysis mode to check before/during/after dialysis state for dialysis patients
3-Determining the patient's Dry Weight.
- Dry Weight is the amount which deducts the increased body water from the body weight based on the normal body water ratio.
- By examining the Body Water Composition graph, you can identify the exact amount of excess fluid to remove, assess cellular health, and improve your patients' quality of life.
4-Provides diverse analysis useful for all kinds of medical treatment
- Visceral fat area which indicates intestinal obesity causing many life style diseases
- ECW ratio by segmental showing water balance and help to determine nutritional status of individuals
- Segmental lean analysis show muscle adequacy of each segments of the body separately
5-Body Shape & Fitness evaluation
allow you to evaluate and control segmental fat mass or muscle mass.
6-Health Evaluation Tool
As any increase/ decrease in body components such as body water, minerals, proteins, fat,…etc. may be an indicator of a health problem such as Diabetes, Edema, Malnutrition, Sarcopenic Obesity, Osteporosis...etc.
7-Balance Assessment of upper, lower & upper-lower body
This could be helpful for describing suitable exercise/rehabilitation/physical program.

FAQ
What is the importance of using InBody S10 for Dialysis patients?
1.Measure Dry weight
InBody S10 assures you to give accurate water values on each part of your body, which helps in making it possible to calculate correct dry weight
2. Diagnose and monitor the nutrition level for patients
- For the dialysis patients with symptoms, such as abdominal dropsy or edema, it is hard to determine the accurate nutritional status. Therefore, many indicators are needed for the determination of the nutritional status.
- InBody S10 offers various nutritional information such as (Body Cell Mass (BCM), Arm Circumference, Arm Muscle Circumference (AC or AMC), Visceral Fat Area (VFA), Total Body Water/Fat-free Mass, Muscles Mass, Fat Mass )
3. Monitoring bone Muscle content (BMC)
Chronic Kidney Disease patients have low BMC due to the decrease of calcium and phosphorus in the bones.
What is Dry Weight?
- Dry Weight is the amount which deducts the increased body water from the body weight based on the normal body water ratio
- By examining the Body Water Composition graph, you can identify the exact amount of excess fluid to remove, assess cellular health, and improve your patients' quality of life.
Is InBody safe for pregnant women?
- Yes, it is safe for pregnant women. However, due to the change in their water content, some of the results may not be accurate. Moreover, during the first three months of pregnancy, they should consult their physician prior the test.
