Modern BIA Technology you can trust!

BIOSPACE, Inc., located in Beverly Hills, California, introduces a new body composition analyzer, the InBody320. With more advanced BIA technology, InBody320 is the first segmental body composition analyzer using multi-frequency for professional use.

Traditional BIA technology

With conventional BIA technology, bioimpedance is measured either from hand to foot (R-type) or from foot to foot (T-type). These types only partially measure bioimpedance of the body. Boimpedance of the trunk segment is not measured by most BIA technology leaving segments of the body unaccounted for in the body composition analysis.

Direct/ Segmental/ Multi-frequency

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSMF-BIA)

InBody320 divides the body into five segments -4 limbs and a trunk- and measures impedance of each segment at multiple frequencies (5, 50 and 250 kHz) targeting the whole body as shown in Figure 3. Therefore, the DSMF-BIA method shows a high level of accuracy. The extreme accuracy makes InBody320 possible to monitor even slightest compositional changes during the process of medical treatment, rehabilitation, and exercise programs.

No Statistical Estimations

With conventional BIA, results are distorted by statistics, based on personal data input such as age, sex, body type, etc. Conventional BIA devices only partially measure body composition and the rest is statistically determined. Although it gives reasonable results for people of the norm, its accuracy is very low for children, elderly, patients and athletes. However, InBody320’s DSMF-BIA technology has overcome the limitations of the conventional BIA method. For it accurately assesses intracellular water using multi-frequency and measures bioimpedance of trunk as well as the rest of the body. The InBody320 uses actual measurements to yield accurate results regardless of empirical estimation.
