This award winning monitor sends a series of electronic signals up into the
trunk of your body, through your bare feet.
How they work
They work by using a scientific process called Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis.
A series of safe, low-level electronic signals are sent up through your
body when you stand on the monitor with your bare feet. The
InnerScan 542 then uses a built-in computer to detect the different resistances of water,
fat, bone and muscle as the electronic signals pass through your body. You are then given
a read out on the clear LCD screen.
10 separate features
InnerScan 542 calculates the number of calories your body burns at rest from the amount
of muscle in your body. This fascinating feature of the InnerScan 542 rates your present
metabolic age up to a maximum age of 50.
It also measures weight, body fat, muscle mass, bone density and many more, a total of
10 functions.
The Dunedin importer of Tanita scales Kerry Goodhew says, "I was given the opportunity of
testing All Black Taine Randall and others, side-by-side with Dunedin Hospital's $100,000
DEXA machine (an Electro-Magnetic Scanner). We got exactly the same body fat percent result
(within 0.2 percent) as the DEXA machine."
You also obtain similar readings to that of an expensive hospital X-ray scan machine.
Your bone mineral weight is calculated in seconds.
The monitor is made from glass
and brushed aluminium and is a classy looking piece of bathroom equipment.
