General Tips - Beurer BF 100 Body Complete Mode D'emploi

repeat measurements are taken. This is
caused by variations during the imped-
ance measurement (e.g. different electri-
cal contact of the electrodes with hands
and feet, different distribution of water in
the body).
Please be aware that values obtained
from the diagnostic scale represent only
an approximation of actual analytical
medical data. Only a specialist physician
can accurately determine body fat, body
water, muscle percentage and bone
structure using medical procedures (e.g.
computed tomography).
Measurement methods
The analysis can be carried out as fol-
lows:
• Upper body: grip the control unit with
both hands, stand on the scale wearing
shoes.
• Lower body: leave the control unit where
it is (on the scale for example) and stand
barefoot on the scale.
• Upper and lower body: grip the control
unit with both hands and stand barefoot
on the scale.
These instructions describe the
analysis for upper and lower body.
If you hold the control unit in
your hands for the analysis, its
weight is automatically de-
ducted.

General tips

• If possible, always weigh yourself at the
same time of day (preferably in the
morning), after using the toilet, on an
empty stomach and unclothed, in order
to achieve comparable results.

• Important for the measurement: body
fat (lower body) can only be determined
barefoot and should be carried out with
slightly moist soles if possible. Com-
pletely dry soles can result in unsatis-
factory measurements due to
inadequate conductivity.
• Stand still and upright during the meas-
urement.
• Wait a few hours after unaccustomed
physical activity.
• Wait approx. 15 minutes after getting up
in the morning to allow the water in the
body to distribute.
• Remember that only long-term trends
are important. Short-term changes in
weight within a few days are usually
caused by a loss of fluid. Body water
plays an important role towards our ge-
neral wellbeing.
Limitations
When measuring body fat and other val-
ues, deviating and implausible results
may occur in:
• children under approx. 10 years,
• competitive athletes and body builders,
• pregnant women,
• persons with fever, undergoing dialysis
treatment or with symptoms of edema
or osteoporosis,
• persons taking cardiovascular medica-
tion (affecting the heart and vascular
system),
• persons taking vascular dilating or vas-
cular constricting medication,
• persons with considerable anatomic
deviations of the legs in relation to total
body size (length of the legs considera-
bly shortened or lengthened).
