The term “body composition” is used to describe the 
percentage of body fat, muscle, water and bone in 
human bodies. It is a key metric for overall health and 
wellness and provides a more accurate assessment than 
weight alone. 

QardioBase measures % body fat, % muscle mass, % 
water composition and % bone mass.

Body fat % is the measure of fat in your body. Knowing 
your body composition helps assess health risks related 
to weight such as blood pressure, diabetes and heart 
disease.

QardioBase measures body mass using bio-impedance 
analysis (BIA). A small and safe signal is sent by the 
indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes on the top of the 
scale and is analyzed to determine the impedance of 
the body. Body composition is then calculated based 
on the electrical impedance, weight and user 
profile data.

People fitted with an implantable medical device 
should only use QardioBase in “Weight Only Mode” 
which disables body composition analysis. If you have 
implanted electronic medical devices such as 
pacemakers or defibrillators, do not use QardioBase 
before activating “Weight Only Mode.” Please refer to 
the instructions from the manufacturer of your medical 
device for more information. It is recommended that 
pregnant women use QardioBase in “Pregnancy 
Mode” or “Weight Only Mode.”

Hydration levels in the body may affect body fat and 
body composition readings. Since the body tends to be 
dehydrated after a long night’s sleep, body 
composition tends to show the highest level of % fat 
and % muscle mass and the lowest % water upon 
waking. Exercising before measurement will show a 
higher % of muscle mass.

You should measure your body composition at the 
same time of the day and under consistent conditions 
in order to obtain the most reliable trend data.
