Percent Body Fat:
The True Measure of Health & Fitness

Futrex’s patented Near Infrared technology makes the HealthGuard-500 the first choice for OEMs looking to offer non-invasive measurement of percent body fat. Why the HealthGuard-500?

Measure at Anyone Any Time - The HealthGuard-500 allows you to offer measurements on any individual at any time of the day. Other non-invasive methods are limited due to the need to follow stringent pretest protocols including fasting, voiding (emptying the badder), and avoiding physical activity.

TheThe HealthGuard-500 goes one better, in that it features the only technology that allows measurement on any person at any time. The other choice (bio-electrical impedance analysis) cannot be used on an individual with an internal pacemeker or defibrillator. The HealthGuard-500, however, can be used on such individuals without concern.

Gold Standard Accuracy - Futrex technology has been thoroughly studied in peer reviewed journals. The HealthGuard-500 has been shown to estimate body fat within approximately 1% of hydrostatic weighing, which is the “gold-standard” reference for body composition analysis.

Complete Technical & Warranty Support - Futrex provides full support to assist with your custom application. Once delivery begins, each HealthGuard-500 carries a complete 12 month parts and labor warranty.

 

 

Single Site Measurement -- How Does It Work?
Futrex offers the only method of measuring body fat that uses completely safe, Near-Infrared light to directly measure percent body fat. U.S. Government research has determined that the midpoint of the biceps and the midpoint of the triceps has a direct correlation with the body’s overall fat level.

During operation, the HealthGuard-500 sends a safe, Near-Infrared light beam into the arm at specific wavelengths that fat will absorb and lean mass will reflect. The light absorption is measured to determine body fat -- it’s that simple!
