Bodystat 500
Pocket-sized Analyser
The Bodystat 500 is a pocket sized touch screen device measuring only raw data. The Bodystat 500 uses 4 electrodes to measure raw data at any segment of the body. This is independent to age, gender, height and weight, and therefore no input data is required. The measurement takes a second and results are available on screen.
Raw Data Measurements
Raw data measurements can be added to validated published equations to calculate fat free mass, body fat and hydration.
To measure is to know
The Bodystat 500 allows for accurate tracking of changes in Body Fat, Lean Muscle Mass & Hydration. Determine if weight gain is due to increase in Lean Body Mass or fluid retention. The simple to use display allows for regular monitoring and this in turn can be used as an essential motivational tool.

MEASUREMENTS AT 50kHz of:
- Impedance
- Resistance
- Reactance
- Phase Angle
Raw data measurements can be added to validated published equations to calculate fat free mass, body fat and hydration.
What is reactance, resistance and impedance?
Impedance defines the opposition to an alternating electrical current. Impedance is comprised of both resistance and reactance. By analysing the resistance and reactance of human tissue certain properties of the tissue can be obtained. The resistance of the tissues to the electrical current determines the opposition of the tissue to the flow of electrons (dissipative loss). It is related to the amount of water present in tissues. The reactance by contrast reflects the capacitive losses caused by cell membranes.
What is phase angle?
Phase Angle is the direct measurement of the integrity of cell membranes and how well they function. When illness or malnutrition is present, the voltage of the cell changes, which alters the capacitance of the cell membrane, and ultimately the Phase Angle.
It is important to note that every individual will have their own ‘normal’ Phase Angle, and what might be a low value for one person, could be a completely normal value for another. So use the individual as the control and monitor change over time to track recovery of illness or use as a preventative marker before onset of illness occurs. Bodystat is unique in that we MEASURE Phase Angle rather than calculating Phase Angle providing a more accurate assessment of health.
Testing Populations
What ages can I use the devices on? All Bodystat devices are automatically programmed to measure adults between the ages of 18 to 70 years. The Bodystat 1500MDD, QuadScan 4000 and MultiScan 5000 also include a children’s equation for 6-17 years. Alternative equations are available in our software programs for athletes, COPD and over 70’s.
Are there any patients I shouldn’t measure with this device? As with all BIA devices we recommend that you do not use on patients who have an implanted cardiac device such as a pacemaker or who are in the early stages of pregnancy.
Warranty & Support
The Bodystat 500 is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty on a return to factory basis.
