Body Composition Meter BF511 Omron

Body Composition Meter BF511 Omron - Medical Device

BF511 is Omron 's most comprehensive body composition meter, offering a detailed overview of body and visceral fat, skeletal muscle level, BMI and resting metabolism.

It is clinically validated * and classified as a medical device.

• Measurement with 8 sensors for both hands and feet, for a complete measurement of body parameters
• Using the bioelectrical impedance (BI) method, body fat is displayed as a percentage of body weight
• It measures skeletal muscles, the muscles connected to the bones that allow the body to move

Low electrical conductivity of body fat The BF511 unit measures the percentage of body fat using the bioelectrical impedance (BI) method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are organic tissues that have a high water content, which is a good conductor of electricity. Conversely, body fat (adipose tissue) has poor electrical conductivity. The BF511 unit sends an extremely weak electrical current (less than 500 μA at a frequency of 50 kHz) through the body to calculate the amount of fat tissue. This weak electric current is not felt when operating the BF511. The body composition meter uses electrical impedance, combined with information about height, weight, age and gender, to obtain a result based on the body composition model developed by OMRON.
