If the test is carried out while wearing socks or stockings, the current will not
•
flow smoothly, and the test may not be performed correctly.
The skin must be in direct contact with the electrode for testing.
If accessories or metallic objects do not touch the electrodes, they will not
•
have a significant effect on the test result.
However, it is not recommended to wear it for accurate test results.
A person who is equipped with a medical device that is essential for life
•
support, such as pacemakers or patient monitoring devices, must not take
the InBody Test. Electronic medical devices may malfunction due to the
current flowing through the human body during the test.
A person who has a metallic material inserted in the body may have
•
different conductivity that may affect the results of the test.
The test is available,but the test result may be inaccurate due to poor
•
contacting to the electrode surface. InBody has a line of products that
conduct body composition analysis in lying posture that allow the patients
to stay in bed. For more information, please contact InBody.
The InBody does not harm the human body because it uses micro
•
alternative electric current. The safety of the InBody has been proven and
is being used by many medical institutions because the InBody has already
obtained the national and European medical certificate.
Testing every other week or once a month can effectively track InBody
•
Test results for exercise prescriptions, hormonal prescriptions, obesity, and
rehabilitation.
It's good to check up often, but it's also important to keep track of your
•
body's changes over time through steady tests.
Body composition changes can be seen on the InBody result screen and the
•
InBody Result Sheet.
It's good to check up often, but it's also important to keep track of your
•
body composition changes over time.
Please refer to 'A.Precautions for Measurement' in section 'II. InBody Test'
