Bodystat Multiscan 5000

The Bodystat Multiscan 5000 is a Bioelectrical Impedance Spectroscopy (BIS) device that measures at 50 frequencies ranging from 5 kHz to 1000 kHz. BIS calculates body composition and hydrational values using Cole-Cole analysis.

This is particularly useful for Dialysis, Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Lymphoedema patients.

To measure is to know

With 23 different parameters being measured/estimated, the Bodystat Multiscan 5000 provides a complete analysis of body composition and hydrational status using BIS, Cole-Cole analysis. The device is battery operated, lightweight and has an easy to use LCD screen, making data collection quick, easy and repeatable.

Bodystat Multiscan 5000 

The Multiscan is a spectroscopy (BIS) device to measure the Body Composition, Hydration & Volume of Fluid Overload in litres, particularly for Dialysis, Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Lymphoedema.

Bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy works by sending a low-level electrical current through the body and measuring the impedance (resistance) to the flow of this current – spectroscopy does this across 50 frequencies. BIS calculates body composition and hydrational values using Cole-Cole analysis.

Using the Bodystat Multiscan 5000

Four electrodes  are placed in specific locations on the hand and foot. The patient is ideally lying down for a couple of minutes to stabilise fluids.

Attach the leads to each electrode, input data such as age, weight, height and gender into the hardware device (touch screen). The measurement takes one second and all results are immediately visible on a colour touch screen ready to view on the Multiscan 5000 display or to download into the software for analysis.

How does Bodystat Multiscan 5000 measure Body Fat?

Bio-electrical Impedance technology works by running a small current through the body, measuring the resistance and reactance to the flow of the current. This data is then processed in the device along with the height, weight, gender and age of the subject. The results for body fat, lean weight and fluid status are then displayed using the measurement and input data.

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.

Bodystat Multiscan 5000 use cases

Cell Health

Prediction Marker & Phase Angle measure cellular health for multiple applications.

Cachexia

Tracking change in the rehabilitation of cachectic patients (cancer, heart failure or other chronic conditions).

Sarcopenia

For tracking change in Muscle Mass in Sarcopenic patients.

Renal Dialysis

The Bodystat Multiscan 5000 is perfect for measurement of the Volume of Fluid Overload in Litres pre- & post dialysis*.

Lymphedema

By calculating fluid overload we can use this for early indicator for fluid shifts in Lymphedema patients.

Critical Care

Detect malnutrition in patients using body cell mass to ensure that expansion of extracellular fluid is not obscured by monitoring total body weight only.

Bodystat Multiscan 5000 Testing Best Practices:

What are the pre-test protocols prior to testing?

For accurate and reproducible results on repeat tests, it is important that the subject is as normally hydrated as possible. The following guidelines should ideally be followed wherever possible.

No eating or drinking 4 to 5 hours prior to the test
No exercise 12 hours prior to the test
No alcohol or caffeine consumption 24 hours prior to the test.

Is there a best time of day to measure with the Bodystat Multiscan 5000?

As with weighing yourself, it is best to be consistent and measure around the same time of day, each time you carry out a test.

How often should I perform the test on my clients?

We would recommend that the first test is done at the beginning of the treatment or programme and then followed up by tests at regular periods. In the case of fitness this would be 4-6 weeks and in the case of medical applications, such as lymphedema, this would be on the patient’s regular check-up visits.

How can I make sure that the results are accurate when repeated?

In order to ensure that the results are accurate when they are repeated, it is important to make sure that the electrodes are placed in exactly the same place as they were for the previous test. The Bodystat Multiscan 5000 uses the same measurement principle as with all other Bodystat devices. Two electrodes are placed on the hand and the foot as illustrated below. Electrodes should be re-used and must not be cut in half.

The red lead is always connected to the electrode closer to the nails, and the black electrodes at the back.

How can I improve measurement quality?

Ensure patient is relaxed in the supine position, ensure skin is clean and good electrode contact has been achieved. Check correct electrode placement and check correct connection of patient lead. Try to minimize sources of electrical disturbances (power sources, mobile phones etc.) Ensure legs are apart and arms are not in contact with the trunk.

In Summary, what will the Bodystat Multiscan 5000 give me?

  • Medically proven whole body composition analysis and core cellular health measurement (non-invasively)
  • Additional insightful information to ‘Body Mass Index’ (BMI)
  • Essential motivational tool especially for weight loss programs
  • Accurate tracking of changes in Body Fat, Lean Muscle Mass & Hydration
  • Fast, reliable, cost-effective, reproducible results
