The InBody580 is a body composition analyzer designed for use in hospitals, medical practices, and inpatient care facilities. It assists in assessing nutritional status, obesity, and muscle balance, providing a basis for appropriate physical activity and dietary habits. The device is not intended for home healthcare environments or as a diagnostic tool; accurate diagnoses require additional examinations by a physician.
Function Description:
The InBody580 utilizes Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA), a patented technology, to precisely measure and differentiate the whole body into five separate regions: four limbs and the trunk. It employs multi-frequencies (5 kHz, 50 kHz, 250 kHz, 500 kHz) to penetrate cell membranes and accurately analyze intracellular and extracellular water, which is crucial for individuals with imbalanced body water distribution. The device uses a tetrapolar 8-point tactile electrode method for consistent and reproducible measurements. It provides direct results without empirical estimations based on factors like body type, age, or gender.
The device offers various medical indications, including:
- Medical check-up: Identifies risks for diseases related to body composition imbalance (obesity, malnutrition, fluid imbalance, osteoporosis).
- Obesity: Tracks changes in percent body fat for customized treatments.
- Pediatric obesity: Assesses body fat in children and adolescents to identify unfavorable lipid profiles.
- Sarcopenia: Calculates Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI) to identify low muscle mass, which increases frailty risk.
- Diabetes & endocrinology: Monitors excess fat and insufficient muscle mass, and the role of visceral fat in metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
- Edema: Assesses over-hydration (ECW/TBW ratio) in dialysis patients and fluid accumulation in the extracellular space.
- Segmental fluid retention: Objectively measures segmental ECW ratio for arms, legs, and trunk to detect fluid imbalances like lymphedema.
- Nutrition: Analyzes changes in body composition (body water, protein, minerals, body fat) for nutritional assessment.
- Fitness: Shows skeletal muscle mass and lean mass in each segment to help build muscle or correct imbalances.
