INTENDED USE:
This product is a device for estimating body composition by measuring the local bio-impedance value of the user's body. Used to measure body weight, body fat, body water, muscle mass, bone mass, BMI and basal metabolism.
- This scale is not suitable for people with pacemakers or other medical implants. The indication of body fat may be inaccurate in the event of diabetes or other medical/physical conditions. The same applies to highly trained sportsmen.
- The device uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and it may cause a weak current while taking measurement. So it's not recommended for pregnant women use.
- Any treatment or diet for overweight or underweight requires qualified advice from appropriate specialists (doctor, dietician). The values determined with the scale can be of help.
- Risk of tilting! Never place the scales on an uneven surface. Never step onto just one corner of the scale. While weighing, never stand on one side or on the edge of the scale.
- Danger of slipping! Never step onto the scale with wet feet. Never step onto the scale while wearing socks.
- Use the device only as directed by the instruction manual. In the event of misuse, all warranties become null and void.
- The scale is manufactured for home or personal use. It is not intended for commercial use in hospitals or other medical facilities.
- Do not use the device if it does not work properly, if it has been dropped, dropped into water or damaged.
- The scale has a measuring range up to 180 kg/396 lbs. Do not overload the scale.
- Place the scale on a firm level surface. Soft, uneven surfaces are unsuitable for measurement and lead to wrong results.
- Place the scale in a location where neither extreme temperatures nor extreme humidity are present.
- Please handle the scale with care. Avoid shocks and vibrations of the scale. Do not drop it.
- Stand carefully on the scale. Do not hop or jump on the treated surface, as this may damage the weighing mechanism.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the device. Otherwise the warranty will become void. This device does not contain any parts that can be serviced or replaced by the user.
- In the event of malfunctions, do not proceed with any unauthorised repair of the device. Otherwise, this will void any warranty claims. Have repairs performed only by an authorised service centre.
Requirements for correct measurement results
- Always weigh yourself in the same conditions.
- Measure at the same time of day.
- Stand upright and calm.
- It is best to take the measurement in the morning, after showering or bathing, with dry foot.
- With the results of the measurement, when carried out consistently, a reliable control of the development of the body weight is possible.
Insert/change batteries
Before putting your digital scale into operation, insert the three 1.5 V batteries (type AAA) included in the device. Open the battery compartment on the underside of the device and insert the batteries. Pay attention to the polarity (illustration in the battery compartment). Replace the battery compartment cover and push it in so that it clicks into place. Change the batteries if the battery change symbol "LO" appears on the display or if nothing is shown on the display after the unit has been operated.
Initialise scale
Make sure that the scale is on firm and level ground. If you want to weigh yourself, but have moved the scale immediately before, you must first initialise the scale. Briefly press the middle of the scale surface with your bare feet. The display will show "0.00". When the scale has turned off, it is ready for the "step-on" function. If the scale hat not been moved before-hand, this process is omitted.
Simple weighing
- Stand on the scale and stand still. The device switches on automatically.
- Step onto your monitor with your bare feet. Place the arches of your bare feet onto the center of the monitor. In the measurement body composition, it is notified by rolling of [rolling symbol] that the measurement is in progress.
- Step down off the scale. The scale switches off automatically after approx. 15 seconds.
ℹ️ Stepping onto your monitor with socks or footwear on will result in an inaccurate measurement.
ℹ️ If the posture is wrong, such as squatting, knees bent, the bare feet are not on the electrodes, the measurement will be inaccurate.

How a body analysis scale works
medisana body analysis scale is tested by the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. The principle of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is to apply weak current to body through the electrodes on the surface of scale, and use the theory that water in the body conducts electricity while fat does not, thereby measure the body's resistance. Then based on sample data, the body fat content is calculated by comparison.
Low-frequency current: obtain extracellular intelligence; high-frequency current: gain extracellular and Intracellular intelligence
Fatty tissue: Poor electrical conductivity
Non-fatty tissue: Better conductivity with more electrolyte
The body is divided into fatty tissue and non-fatty tissue according to above principle, and the resistance feedback of the two is also different. The body analysis scale calculates the proportion of different components of the body through data feedback and calculation.
Diagram Description: The diagram shows a cross-section of the body with labels for 'Fatty tissue', 'Non-fatty tissue', 'Low-frequency current', 'High-frequency current', and 'Body analysis scale sensor'. It illustrates how current flows through the body.
Measurement symbols
| kg / st / lb | Body weight | Body fat | Body water | Muscle percentage | Bone weight | Calorie requirement BMR | BMI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Brick pattern] | Body weight refers to "the sum of all organs and metabolites in the body", which includes bones, muscles, fat, blood, internal organs, metabolic waste, and many other indicators. However, the largest proportion among them is water. | Body fat percentage refers to the ratio of body weight in fatty tissue. Body fat (%) = [Body fat weight (kg) / Body weight (kg)] x 100% | Body water ratio accounts for the largest ratio of body weight. Body water (%) = [Weight of body water / Weight of body fluid] x 100% | Muscles are non-fatty tissues in the body, and the body uses energy to maintain body temperature. When muscle mass is reduced, the body uses less energy. Muscle is also the body tissue that supports posture and heartbeat. | Bone weight refers to the weight of bone tissue (including bone mineral levels, calcium, or other minerals) in the body composition, is indicative of bone health. | Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) refers to the minimum requirement of calories that the human body needs to maintain life under static conditions. | Body Mass Index (BMI) is the relationship between weight and height, body fat and health risk. BMI = [Body weight (kg) / Body height (m)²] |
