The Bodystat®1500 is a lightweight, hand-held, battery operated Bio-impedance Analyser which is easy to use and requires no specialist skills. It is a non-invasive device, which measures the impedance value of the body providing quick and effective analysis of body composition. Whole Body analysis, rather than partial body analysis of arms or legs only, is measured for greater accuracy.

The Bodystat®1500 has two main cable leads of which each lead has two crocodile/alligator clips, red and black. These clips are attached to the exposed tabs on the electrodes. The subject's Gender, Age, Height, Weight and optionally, Activity Level and Waist/Hip measurements, are entered using the three keypads. It works by passing a safe battery generated signal through the body and measuring the impedance at a fixed frequency of 50 kHz. Once the test has been performed a complete body composition analysis is displayed on the LCD screen within three seconds comprising Body Fat, Lean Body Mass, Total Body Water and optimal ranges. Metabolic rates, BMI and Waist/Hip Ratio are also displayed on the LCD screen.

Testimonials


"Bodystat® has been very advantageous as a marketing/promotional tool, providing a value-added service to sell on to new or existing customers. As a result, I am convinced Bodystat® is invaluable as a product in any wellness, fitness or health environment"

Mr. I. Kerr, Group Leisure Manager, The Greenall Group Plc. UK

“Being involved in a practice which concentrates on preventative health, I have found Bodystat® an invaluable tool in motivating the overweight patient, giving dietary advice to athletes and stressing the importance of healthy eating habits amongst business executives”

Dr. N.R. Grobbelaar Preventative Health Care Clinic, South Africa.

“People, generally, are obsessed with their ideal weight and for most people the standard height/weight charts cannot assess the ideal weight of an individual. This is where the Bodystat® machine comes into it’s own. Our Bodystat® machine has given us an excellent source of secondary income and provided us with a tempting bonus for renewals.”

Mr. T.J. Burbage, Director Heartbeat Health & Fitness Ltd. UK

“The Bodystat® machine is the best clinical tool I have probably ever had. We've done over 1600 tests now and give a print-out to each patient which gives them a new perspective on weight/fat reduction.”

Dr Timothy Orchard, Queensland, Australia

"I wanted to tell you personally that I am very pleased with the way your product has been useful in my practice here at my clinics and with the awareness camps in the rural areas. It is simply superb. As a Bariatric physician I can say that I am much satisfied with it's usefulness in Bariatric practice in India."

Dr. Kola Chris Vedanth, Bariatric Physician, SlenderTouch Obesity Control Clinics, India.

"We received our Bodystat®1500 machine only a couple of weeks ago and have found it an excellent monitoring tool already. We are using it already on a daily basis and so need more disposable electrodes."

Anne-Marie Holdsworth, Consultant Dietitian, The North London Nuffield Hospital, Enfield, UK

"The Bodystat® Body Composition analysis program has been doing extremely well - we have set up a Cardiac Risk Analysis program in conjunction and our employees are very appreciative. We have also found that our health promotion efforts are now more effective when our employees have something tangible and personalised."

Leah A Stewart, Research Officer, Augustus Long Hospital, Trinidad, West Indies
