Percent Body Fat:
The True Measure of Health & Fitness

Futrex, long a leader in portable, non-invasive body composition analysis, now offers its patented Near-Infrared technology to OEMs that need to offer fast, accurate body composition analysis. Futrex technology can be integrated into kiosk applications, stand-alone desktop applications, or lightweight, portable applications.

Measure Anyone, Any Time - Other non-invasive methods are limited due to the need to follow stringent pretest protocols to control the person’s hydration level. These protocols include fasting, voiding (emptying the badder), and avoiding physical activity. Some options (bio-electrical impedance analysis) cannot be used on an individual with an internal pacemeker or defibrillator, or on a preganant woman.
Futrex solves these problems with the only technology that allows measurement on any person at any time. With Futrex you can eliminate pre-test protocols, and there are no contra-indications to exclude any person from being measured.

Gold Standard Accuracy - Futrex technology has been thoroughly studied in peer reviewed journals, and has been shown to estimate body fat with the same accuracy 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 Futrex product 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 FUTREX-6050 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!
