Clinical Practice: EVALUATE PATIENT’S NUTRITIONAL/HYDRATIONAL AND CELLULAR STATUS

MAKING DISEASE ASSE MORE ACCURATE Complex changes occur in body composition during illness and monitoring these changes can provide an insight for early diagnosis and treatment. As the need for non-invasive diagnostic systems increase and regular monitoring becomes even more important, clinicians see quick, simple solutions to monitor these changes. TOTAL BODY COMPOSITION Different effects of diseases that influence body composition or fluid states: + Increase in fat mass + Loss of fat-free mass + Excessive weight gain + Loss of body cell mass + Loss of bone mineral + Malnourishment + High...

SSMENT Assessment of Body Fluid Composition could lead to: + Earlier diagnosis of illnesses + Earlier initiation of treatment + Early signs of cellular degradation + Early signs of shift in ECW/TBW ratio + More accurate prognosis + Patient outcome prediction with greater certainty Intra Cellular Residual + Reduction in hospitalization length of stay + Reduced costs through better patient management + Reduced patient anguish. Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) offers: + Non-invasive assessment of hydration and nutrition status Intra Cellular Water + Assess nutritional status of patients...

APPLICATIONS & MEASUR OUTPUTS The QUADSCAN4000 Touch measures at four different frequencies: 5, 50, 100 and 200 kHz. APPLICATIONS Diuretics, accurate fluid monitoring and the inevitable decrease of lean muscle mass are all concerns for patients, nurses and doctors alike. of fluid over-hydration to help determine dry weight, as well as in IC wards to assess nutritional status, recovery rate and hydration levels. Bioelectrical Impedance Technology will meet all these needs non-invasively, giving accurate and reliable measurements for fluid, lean muscle mass, nutritional status and overall...

EMENT WHAT DOES THE QUADSCAN TOUCH MEASURE? OPTIONS DISPLAYED ON THE QUADSCAN UNIT Fat as a % of Total Body Weight Fat Weight* & Normal Range FAT Weight determines Health Risk Lean %* & Normal Range Lean as a % of Total Body Weight Lean Weight* & Normal Range Lean Muscle Mass includes Muscle, Bone & Water Water %* & Normal Range Total Body Water as a % of Total Body Weight Total Body Water* & Normal Range Total Body Water Volume in Litres Dry Lean Weight includes Muscle, Bone e.g. Lean minus Total Body Water Skeletal Muscle* Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)* Extracellular Water as a % of Total...

The QUADSCAN4000 non-invasively measures the flow of current through the body at four different frequencies: 5, 50, I00 & 200 kHz. Low frequencies have difficulty penetrating the cell wall and pass predominately through the extracellular spaces, while higher frequencies are able to penetrate the cellular membrane and pass through both intracellular and extracellular spaces. By applying Bodystat’s own unique researched equations, the system quickly determines values for body composition, hydration status and cellular health. BIOELECTRICAL PROPERTIES High Frequency Current (200 kHz) Cell...

CH QUALITY CONTROL CHECK OF MEASUREMENT ACCURACY Immediately following the measurement, an impedance graph will be displayed. The impedance graph should be viewed to ensure that there are no bumps and that the measurement was successful. If the test has a bump and does not look smooth, you have the option to reject the test and repeat the measurement immediately with no inconvenience to the patient. PROGNOSTIC OR NUTRITIONAL MARKERS “Phase Angle, BIVA and the Prediction MarkerTM are obtained directly from resistance, reactance or impedance, and evidence in the literature indicated that they...

SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS The QUADSCAN4000 units are battery-operated and easy to use, requiring no specialist skills. The unit has been electronically precision-engineered to the highest quality standards, offering the user a safe and efficient means of measurement. SEGMENTAL MEASUREMENTS Multi-frequency BIA technology has the advantage of performing measurements on specific sections of the body without the weight or other input data of the area being measured yet is still able to obtain meaningful output data. If requiring only the left leg, right leg, right arm or left arm to be measured,...

BODY MANAGER PLATINUM SOFTWARE & BIVA BODY MANAGER PLATINUM SOFTWARE The included Body Manager Platinum software is ideal for use when subsequent repeat tests are performed in order to track an individual’s progress. The software includes four main features: • Body Composition – Providing detailed analysis of the whole body. These reports comprise of the Body Composition Professional and Simplified Reports: • Trends – This tracks the results over a period of time to assess change and progress. • Health Report – Based on the Framingham Study, this gives a general health report including...
