The seca mBCA 525 c (medical Body Composition Analyzer) is a medical device that measures bioelectrical impedance data. The device is designed for mobile use and requires a horizontal measurement in connection with a rechargeable battery. The device is designed for professional use. Parameters such as fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle mass (SMM), body composition chart (BCC), etc. are calculated in the cloudbased analysis software seca analytics 125.
An electronic device designed to estimate body composition (i.e., percent body fat, lean, bone, and/or hydration) with regards to bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and often personal characteristics (e.g., age, gender, height, weight). It may be in the form of a unit with electrodes applied to the surface of the patient’s body, or a scale(s) placed on the floor and upon which the patient stands to measure total body weight. Both types perform BIA by passing a low electrical current through the body; personal characteristics may be manually entered. Data are analysed to provide measurements that may include body mass index (BMI), fat/muscle/bone mass, and total body water percent.
