Innovating the BIA diagnostics field, the Mediana i35 Body Composition Analyzer is a state-of-the-art bioelectrical impedance analysis technology system that uses a multi-frequency measurement method. Providing precise and meticulous Extracellular Water (Body Water) and Body Composition analysis, this BIA system uses 5, 50, 100, and 250kHz frequencies to perform its measurements. Adding to Mediana's premier line of professional medical equipment that's designed to provide accurate measurement of biological signals, the i35 utilizes a tetra-polar 8-point tactile electrodes system to deliver definitive segmental Body Mass (BMI) and Body Fat analysis along with Body Balance evaluation. Visually displaying this health data in an easy-to-follow, intuitive format, the i35 also enables users to print the results page, covering each section in detail with its included body composition result interpretation guide.
Tested by top medical professionals in healthcare institutions on a wide demographic ranging from small children to the elderly, clinical trials of Golden Standards of Body Composition Analysis methods (CT, DEXA, and Isotope dilution) of the Mediana i35's proprietary Body Composition Analysis Algorithm demonstrate its precise accuracy. Its optimization algorithm that's used to increase Body Composition Analysis was also verified for reliable accuracy through clinical trials.
Compact and approachable, its welcoming design makes patients of all ages feel more comfortable while using it. The wide rotational radius and versatile movement of the electrode handle facilitate an ergonomic but precise position for testing that won't strain the user and will help to reduce measurement errors. Its user-friendly graphic user interface (GUI) highlights a 7-inch LCD color touch-screen that's large, clear, and easy to read, prompting the user through the test and then displaying the results immediately on the screen. Tests take less than a minute to complete. The Mediana i35 also offers Blind Mode to hide the numerical weight and fat mass values on the screen for user privacy, but will still display the results on the printed sheet.
The advanced outputs provided by the i35 include:
- Extracellular water ratio - Determines the extracellular water present in the body and is frequently used to evaluate a patient's health status and to diagnose edema.
- Abdominal obesity analysis - Qualitative and comprehensive analysis of abdominal fat ratio, waist circumference, subcutaneous fat area, visceral fat area, and VSR (visceral to subcutaneous fat ratio).
- FFMI and FMI indexes - Covering the limitations of BMI, the Fat Free Mass Index (FFMI) and Fat Mass Index (FMI) also facilitate an accurate obesity analysis.
- Body composition history - Quickly compare body fat percentage, skeletal muscle, and weight, with the ability to view up to 7 past results in comparison to current test results.
- Intake and consumed calories - Track dietary intake and calorie count to fine-tune nutritional requirements.
- Exercise guidance - Offering systematic guidance to achieve a healthy body, the i35 calculates the results of a patient's Body Composition analysis, Basal Metabolic rate, and Total Energy expenditure to compute personalized Exercise Intensity, Calorie Consumption of Exercise, Target Body Fat, and Estimated Completion.
The Mediana i35 Body Composition Analyzer comes with PC software that's compatible with PACS (Worklist, DICOM), EMR (BMP image), and digital height scales. Its downloadable database includes Segmental Body Composition, nutritional information, the Body Composition Analysis Result Sheet, exercise guidance, and other various body composition analysis data. It also comes with a smartphone app - with a simple QR scan, results can be viewed via smartphones, along with enabling the management of cumulative results.
Accommodating children and adults in a height range of 2'0" to 7'2", and a weight capacity of 500-pounds, the Mediana i35 includes a printer, 50 children's results sheets, and 150 adult results sheets. Weighing just 38.6-pounds, this innovative body composition analyzer also conveniently folds down into a super-compact design that's easy to transport. Perfect for a wide range of healthcare professionals to help their patients with obesity, the i35 is often used in hospitals, doctor's offices, rehab centers, gyms, yoga studios, fitness centers, physical/occupational therapy operations, and chiropractic facilities.
