DANGER

NOTECAUTION

Please keep the packaging for future events of repacking InBody370 and sending

it for servicing or otherwise transporting InBody370 elsewhere.

1. If you use the InBody370 on a carpet, static electricity may cause serious damage to the

electronic components. If the InBody370 is to be installed on a carpet, use antistatic mats

below the InBody370. Use InBody tissue to wipe feet and hands before the measurement

starts.

2. Do not wipe the base and hand electrode with cleaning liquids. If cleaning liquids enter

into InBody370, it may cause corrosion or electric shock by short circuit. For cleaning of

the InBody370, please use InBody tissue, which also has antibacterial functionality.

3.Do not dismantle InBody370. Internal parts are not for customer use and may cause

electric shock. If InBody370 is dismantled, the warranty is void, and service costs will be

charged.

DANGER

NOTECAUTION

Failure to connect the device to a properly grounded outlet may result in damage to

the device, inaccurate measurement and/or inappropriate operation due to possible

electrical surges.

DANGER

NOTECAUTION

Do not plug the device to a shared power source with any other electrical devices such

as a treadmill, refrigerator, air conditioning unit, microwave or RF medical diathermies

that can be affected by electromagnetic interference. It may result in inaccurate

measurements.

The InBody370 is a body composition analyzer designed for healthy life and InBody tests. It provides detailed body composition analysis, including weight, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass, and obesity analysis, along with BMR and BMI.

Function Description:

The InBody370 measures body composition by utilizing bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Users stand on the footplate electrodes and grip the hand electrodes, allowing a small, safe electrical current to pass through the body. The device then calculates various body composition parameters based on the impedance measured at different frequencies (5 kHz, 50 kHz, 250 kHz) for different body segments (Right Arm, Left Arm, Trunk, Right Leg, Left Leg). The results are displayed on a touchscreen and can be printed on a result sheet. The device is designed to provide reliable and reproducible results, emphasizing proper posture during the measurement process.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power Input: DC 12V, 3.4A (via adapter).
Measurement Frequencies: 5 kHz, 50 kHz, 250 kHz.
Measured Segments: Right Arm (RA), Left Arm (LA), Trunk (TR), Right Leg (RL), Left Leg (LL).
Output Data: Weight, Skeletal Muscle Mass, Body Fat Mass, BMI, %Body Fat, BMR, and Impedance values for each segment at different frequencies.
Connectivity: USB Host, USB Slave/PC port, Power adapter input.
Display: Touchscreen LCD.
Included Accessories: InBody370 unit, DC 12V 3.4A adapter, power cord, install manual, hexagonal wrench, joint screw.

Usage Features:

Installation: The device requires assembly of the stand and securing it with a joint screw using the provided hexagonal wrench. It must be leveled properly using the leveling screws on the footplate, guided by the built-in level indicator, to ensure accurate weight measurement.
Power On/Off: The device is turned on via a power switch located at the rear. It takes approximately 15 seconds for the home screen to initialize, during which the base should not be touched.
Measurement Process:
1. Weight Measurement: The user steps onto the footplate, remaining still while weight is measured.
2. Information Input: Personal information (ID, height, age, gender) is entered and confirmed via the touchscreen.
3. Proper Posture: Crucial for accurate results. Users must stand with straight arms, armpits not closed, and gently grip the hand electrodes with all four fingers touching the surface and the thumb touching the circular electrode. Bare feet are required, with heels touching the smaller foot electrodes. Socks should not be worn. If thighs touch, knee-length shorts are recommended.
4. Test Initiation: The InBody Test begins automatically after proper posture is assumed.
5. Results Display: Once the test is completed, results are shown on the screen and can be printed if a printer is connected.
Touchscreen Calibration: If the touchscreen is inaccurate or unresponsive, it can be calibrated under 'Touchscreen Alignment' in the SETUP menu. Restarting the InBody can also recall previous alignment settings or automatically lead to the calibration screen if alignment is severely off.
Error Messages: The device displays error messages to alert the operator of problems (e.g., objects on the footplate, out-of-range subject data) and recommends corrective actions.
Grounding: It is critical to plug the power adapter into a properly grounded outlet to prevent device damage, inaccurate measurements, or electrical surges. A surge protector is highly recommended.
Interference Avoidance: Do not plug the device into a shared power source with other electrical devices that may cause electromagnetic interference (e.g., treadmills, refrigerators, microwaves, RF medical diathermies), as this can lead to inaccurate measurements.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: The base and hand electrodes should not be wiped with cleaning liquids to prevent corrosion or electric shock. InBody tissue, which has antibacterial functionality, is recommended for cleaning.
Antistatic Measures: If the InBody370 is used on a carpet, antistatic mats should be placed underneath to prevent static electricity from damaging electronic components.
Pre-Measurement Preparation: Callouses or dry hands/feet may affect measurement accuracy. Wiping palms and soles with InBody tissue before testing is recommended.
Packaging Retention: The original packaging should be kept for future events such as repacking for servicing or transportation.
No User-Serviceable Parts: Users should not dismantle the InBody370, as internal parts are not for customer use and may cause electric shock. Dismantling voids the warranty and incurs service charges.
Technical Support: For problems or clinical information, users can contact InBody Co., Ltd. via provided contact details (TEL, FAX, Website, E-mail). Additional information on functions and results sheet items is available in the user's manual CD.
