Introduction Body Composition consists of 4 major components: Water, Protein, Minerals and Fat. These four elements are the fundamental ingredients the body is comprised of, and it is important for them to be in balance. Body composition analysis is expected to quantify and measure these ingredients. Until recently, diagnosing obesity has focused on appearance, without considering a balanced body composition.

4. Weight Measurement Mode A. Body Composition Analyzing (1) Step on the foot board to measure your weight. (2) When the measurement is over there will be a beep and you will see your weight on the screen. (3) When the weight is not correct, press the foot plate to turn on H20 and wait for 5 seconds. Then you can re-measure your weight. B. Power Off (1) Weight measurement is done, step down from the foot plate and the power will automatically be turned off.
5. InBody Test Mode A. Tips Before Body composition analyzing (1) Make yourself as light as possible. Wear light clothes for measurement. (2) Please go to the bathroom before measurement. Urine and feces affect your weight and consequently the body composition analysis. (3) Please conduct the measurement before meals or at least two hours after meals. Food in the stomach before digestion affects body weight, causing possible errors in the result.
B. Body Composition Analyzing (1) Push the button in the center to turn on H20. (2) Rotate the button in the center to set your height. Wait for few seconds once it is set. (3) The height will appear on the LCD screen. (4) After entering the height hold the handle and step on the foot board to measure your weight. (5) When weight is set, the measurement position icon will blink while checking if the hand and feet electrodes are connected. (6) With measuring sound, InBody measurement will start.
C. How to Hold InBody Electrode Take the hand grip and hold it with the palms and thumbs touching the hand electrodes. Step on the foot electrodes at the platform. Make sure your hands and feet on both sides are not touching each other. Please refer to next page for the right measurement posture. The measurement begins automatically when your position is set. (1) Hand Electrodes Fingers must not leave the surface of the electrodes. Right hand and left hand must not touch each other.
D. Recommended measurement posture ➊ Please keep your eyes to the front. ➋ Grab the hand electrodes with bare hands and be careful not to let your hands touch each other. ➌ Thighs should not touch each other if possible. ✽Tip: For those whose thighs contact each other, it is recommended to wear shorts, which come down below the thighs for accurate measurement. ➍ No moisture or too much callus tissues on the palms or soles of feet may lower the accuracy of the measurement.
E. Power Off (1) InBody test is done, step down from the foot plate and the power will automatically be turned off after 60 seconds. Turn the dial to see the measurement results again in 60 seconds. (2) If you step down the foot plate while measuring, the device will not be turned off for 60 seconds. If you step on the foot plate within 60 seconds the measurement will restart.
6. Maintenance (1) After usage, wipe electrodes with a wet tissue (also known as wet naps, surface wipes, antibacterial tissues, etc.) Wet tissues can be purchased at any local store. (2) Handle the arms with care. Never apply excessive force near the hand electrode joint. The damage caused by misuse may affect the function of the internal cable and electric board. (3) Do not place anything on the platform or apply any pressure onto it when the InBody H20 is not in use.
7. Understanding of Results A. Result Screen During measurement, the InBody H20 displays information of an examinee’s body composition on the LCD. The results are shown while you are on the foot plate. ⓛ Weight (kg) Ideal weight is based on examinee’s height. Using the classical BMI method, the InBody 370 identifies the standard BMI as 22kg/m2 for males, 21.5kg/m2 for western females and 21kg/m2 for asian females.
② Percentage of Body Fat (%) Percentage of Body Fat indicates the percentage of body fat to body weight. The ideal percentage of body fat is 15% for men and 23% for women, while the standard range of Body Fat Mass for men is 10-20% of the weight and 18-28% of the weight for women. In the case of children under the age of 18, children’s standard is used. Ref. Samuel J. Fomon, et al. (1982): Body Composition of reference children from birth to age 10 years.
④ BMI (Body Mass Index, kg/㎡) BMI is determined by using only weight and height and diagnoses superficial obesity. The standard values are 22kg/m2 for male and 21.5kg/m2 for western female and 21kg/m2 for asian female. Formula) BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height2 (㎡) Determination 1) WHO Standard BMI(kg/㎡) Classification Diagnosis <18.5 Underweight Under Infectious disease, malnutrition related disease 18.5~24.9 Normal Standard Least risk at most disease 25.0~29.9 Overweight 30.0~34.9 Obese1 35.

Appendix More about the InBody H20 A. How does BIA work? The Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method is based on the fact that the human body consists of conductors and non-conductors. Generally, 50~70% of the human body consists of water which functions as a conductor, whereas body fat functions as a non-conductor. The classic BIA method measures the impedance of the whole body on the assumption that the human body can be considered a cylinder for the application of this model.
B. Core Technology The following are key features that make the InBody H20 extremely convenient, timely, and accurate. (1) Tetrapolar 8-Point Tactile Electrode It was a complex and inconvenient procedure to attach and detach the electrodes to a specific spot every time. Trained technicians were needed for each measurement. The InBody H20 uses tactile electrodes to avoid the possibility of errors and inaccuracies.
C. Classifications Type of protection against electric shock: Internally Powered Equipment Degree of protection against electric shock: Type B Applied Parts Degree of protection against the ingress of water: Ordinary equipment: IPX0 Equipment not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
