free mass, fat mass, intra-/extracellular fluid) of participants. Fat contains little water
while the lean compartment has most of the body’s water. Therefore, when the current
encounters fat, there is more resistance. By measuring how easily currents move
through the body, body fat can be estimated. This technique is known as bioelectrical
impedance analysis.
3.2 Purpose
The objectives of the current POD are to 1) outline the procedure for using ImpediMed
SFB7; 2) provide a set of standard practices for safe operation and a training guide for
new users of the systems at the PERFORM Centre, Concordia University; and 3) outline
the procedure of cleaning/disinfecting of auxiliary items used for this device.
3.3 Scope
This POD applies to all users and supervisors using the ImpediMed SFB7 at the
PERFORM Centre, Concordia University. Any other document other than this POD is
out of scope for this operating procedure.
3.4 Responsibility
It is the responsibility of all users and supervisors to ensure that this POD is followed.
