InBody970 Highlights

• Innovative Design 

The InBody970 delivers a new seamless look with the premise of detail. The concave head design protects the privacy of the subject during measurement while also enhancing user's visibility. Stainless electrodes and enhanced footplate improve conductivity and allow weight measurements up to 300kg.

• InBody's Accurate 3MHz Measurement Technology

As the frequency increases, it becomes more difficult to control in the human body, possibly resulting in irregular impedance measurements. InBody technology has overcome this limitation and achieved the feat of controlling 3MHz frequency. The 3MHz frequency is able to penetrate the human cell membranes more effectively and therefore better reflects Intracellular Water in comparison to lower frequencies. This then enables us to differentiate between the Intracellular Water and the Extracellular Water, resulting in a more accurate measurement of Total Body Water.

• 7 Different Result Sheets for In-depth Analysis

• Evaluation Result Sheet can be used to evaluate and compare body composition results by age.

• Research Result Sheet incorporates frequently used parameters and provides segmental graphs that offer a more comprehensive analysis.

• Comparison Result Sheet provides a Cole-Cole plot graph along with other significant parameters to compare previous and current results.

• Visceral Fat Result Sheet can be used to monitor changes in subcutaneous and visceral fat.

* Body Composition Result Sheet, Body Composition Result Sheet for Children, Body Water Result Sheet are also available

Smart InBody Measurement

The ID recognition process can be performed quickly and with ease by using the InBody BAND, Fingerprint, or Barcode scanner.

Inbody Technology

• Body Composition Evaluation by Age Based on InBody Big Data InBody provides age-specific graphs for each body composition analysis parameter based on globally accumulated InBody Data. With this, a comprehensive analysis is provided so that you can compare your data to the data of the young age group (T-score) and the same age group (Z-score).
• Multi-Frequency for In-Depth Analysis Low frequencies do not pass through the cell membranes well so they mainly reflect ECW, while high frequencies pass through the cell membranes and therefore reflect both ECW and ICW. By using multi-frequencies, InBody measures ECW and ICW separately and measures TBW accurately to check the water balance. As the newest technological advancement, InBody utilizes the 3Mhz frequency, which enables the precise measurement of a more diverse range of patients and subjects with special body compositions. Furthermore, the technology that enabled the utilization of 3MHz also ensures the measurement stability from other frequencies even when there are outside interferences. * ECW: Extracellular Water, ICW: Intracellular Water, TBW: Total Body Water
• High Reproducibility Assured by 8-Point Tactile Electrodes InBody placed a total of eight electrodes- one current and one voltage electrode on each handle and footplate. With this electrode design, it maintains the measurement starting point at all times. Even if the measurement postures are changed or multiple measurements are made, it is able to maintain high reproducibility.
• Multi-frequency Reactance Data for Enhanced Clinical Use Reactance is a resistance that occurs in cell membranes, which is related to the cellular health such as somatic cell mass, structural integrity, and physiological functional level of the cell. Besides 50kHz, InBody improved segmental reactance measurement technology in 5kHz, 250kHz as well. Through this, InBody provides more parameters which can be used in various clinical fields to pre-screen diseases and evaluate nutritional status.
• Direct Segmental Measurement-BIA Each of our body segments is different in length and cross-sectional area. Arms and legs are longer and narrower in comparison to the trunk, so their impedance values are higher than the trunk. On the other hand, the trunk is shorter and wider than the arms and legs, so its impedance value is lower. However, the trunk muscle mass accounts for almost half of the whole body muscle mass, which is why a small impedance change in the trunk has a greater impact on the amount of whole body muscle mass. Therefore, the trunk must be measured separately in order to measure the whole body muscle mass accurately
• No Estimations or Empirical Equations In the past, the conventional BIA devices used empirical estimations to compensate technological limitations of whole body measurement and use of single low frequency. To calculate the body composition by these conventional BIA devices, they needed to add statistical data such as age and gender in order to calculate results. However, InBody overcame these limitations with technologies of using Multi-Frequency, Direct Segmental Measurement, and 8-Point Tactile Electrodes System so that InBody provides results that are not affected by age, ethnicity or gender. Only reference ranges or scores based on age and gender are used as a basis for evaluating the values determined.
