The InBody170 is a body composition analyzer designed to quantify and measure the four major components of the body: water, protein, minerals, and fat. It aims to provide accurate and reproducible results through direct segmental measurement, evaluating the effectiveness of diet control and exercise prescriptions without relying on empirical estimations. The device is intended for use in health care settings to help achieve a balanced body composition, moving beyond traditional obesity diagnoses based solely on appearance.
The InBody170 operates by analyzing body composition, which involves measuring the impedance of different body segments. The device features a head unit with an LCD screen and a keypad, a stand, and a base with foot electrodes. The LCD displays the analysis procedure, messages, and results, guiding the user through the measurement process. The keypad, consisting of 19 buttons, allows for data input, setting up the operating environment, and printing test results. A speaker provides audio signals to inform users of the measurement status.
The stand part includes hand electrode holders and the hand electrodes themselves. Each hand electrode incorporates a thumb electrode and a palm electrode. The thumb electrode is activated by contact with the thumb, while the palm electrode is activated by wrapping the palm around it. These electrodes facilitate the flow of electrical current through the body during measurement. The hand electrode cable connects these electrodes to the internal circuitry, transferring voltage and electric current for analysis.
The base part features front and rear sole electrodes, a foot plate, a joint cover, a joint screw, a bubble level indicator, and level screws. The front sole electrode is activated by placing the forefoot directly on it, and the rear sole electrode by placing the heel. These electrodes enable current flow through the lower body. The foot plate houses the load cell, which measures body weight. The joint cover protects the joint mechanism when the stand is folded, and the joint screw fixes the upper part of the device. The bubble level indicator helps ensure the device is level for accurate measurements, and the four level screws allow for manual adjustment of the device's balance.
To use the InBody170, individuals stand on the foot plate, ensuring proper contact with the sole electrodes, and grasp the hand electrodes. The device then performs a direct segmental measurement, which is crucial for its high accuracy. The user interface is designed to be intuitive, with clear instructions displayed on the LCD and a keypad for easy data entry and function selection.
The device is designed for use by individuals who can stand unassisted. Physically disabled persons or children require assistance to ensure accurate results and prevent injury. It is important to maintain a proper posture during measurement and avoid movement to ensure accurate test results.
The InBody170 requires specific maintenance to ensure its longevity and accuracy. The foot plate, which comes into direct contact with users, must be cleaned with an appropriate disinfectant after each use to prevent cross-contamination. A soft cloth and ethyl alcohol are recommended for wiping the foot plate, and strong chemicals should be avoided. Liquids should never be poured directly onto the foot plate, as this can cause internal damage.
The device should be installed on a flat and stable floor, and the bubble level indicator should be used to ensure it is properly leveled using the adjustable level screws. This prevents incorrect measurements and potential harm.
For transportation, it is crucial to use the original packing material and shipping box to protect the equipment from physical shock or damage. The wrapping material should be saved for future relocation needs.
The InBody170 is designed with internal parts that are not user-serviceable. Dismantling the equipment or opening the back cover voids the warranty and may result in service charges. Any repair or examination should be conducted only by Biospace's professional A/S staff. In case of device quality or operation problems, users are advised to contact the manufacturer or distributor.
The device should be operated within specific environmental conditions: a temperature range of 10-40 ℃ (50-104°F), relative humidity of 30-75%, and atmospheric pressure of 70-106 kPa. Extreme temperatures, humidity, or pressure can affect operation and cause errors.
The InBody170 uses a specific AC adapter (12V, 3.4A) provided by Biospace. Using other adapters may cause malfunction. Care must be taken to prevent spills of food or beverages on the product, as this can seriously damage electronic components. Excessive force on the hand electrode cable should be avoided to prevent damage to the product.
The device complies with international safety and quality standards, including IEC60601-1 (EN60601-1) for safety of electric medical equipment, and IEC60601-1-2 (EN60601-1-2) for electromagnetic compatibility. It is manufactured under the full quality assurance system of ISO 90001 and ISO 13485.
Local governing ordinances and recycling plans for device components, including batteries, should be followed for disposal. The device should not be treated as household waste but handed over to an applicable collection point for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.
