Advantages of using the Futrex System

Measurements can be made on either the biceps or the triceps of the arm. The advantages of the Futrex near-infrared body composition analyzers are:

Provide accurate measurements for both male and female of any levels of fitness - - - from very lean world class gymnast to the highest fat, obese population.

Unlike calipers, the Futrex system provides accurate measurement of body builders because the near-infrared measurement includes both the intramuscular as well as the sub-cutaneous body fat.

There are no pretesting protocol limitations. This is unlike bioelectrical impedance where accurate measurements cannot be performed if alcohol had been consumed anytime during the previous 24 hours, if a meal has been eaten within three hours of the measurement time, if strenuous exercise had occurred within three hours of measurement time, if the body is unusually dehydrated or ultrahydrated, if skin lotions or other cosmetic materials that provide an electrical conduction path had been applied to the body, etc.

(A complete list of these bioelectrical impedance limitations is provided in the NIH Bioelectrical Impedance publication.)

In the Futrex system, no electrical energy is entered into the body. Thus, unlike bioelectrical impedance, there is no risk to implanted defillibrators, heart pacers, or early-term fetuses.

The HealthGuard-Model-850 is also available as an OEM System, and includes:
