Measuring principle

When you step onto the scale, barefoot, a very low intensity electric current is transmitted into your body by the electrodes.

This current, transmitted from one foot to the other, comes up against obstacles when it must pass through fat.

This resistance of the body, called bio-electric impedance, varies according to your sex, age and height, and from this, the fat mass and its limits can be determined.

This appliance is entirely safe as it is operates with a very low voltage (1.5 V batteries).

However, measurements may be distorted in the following cases:

–people with a fever,

–children under 6 (appliance not calibrated under this age),

–pregnant women (perfectly safe however),

–people on dialysis, people with oedemas on the legs, people suffering from dysmorphia.
