Important! We recommend that you read through the user manual before using the device.

Principle for calculating body composition. Body fat has low electrical conductivity.

BF212 measures body fat percentage using the bioelectrical impedance (BI) method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues with a higher water content that easily conduct electricity. Body fat is tissue that has little electrical conductivity.

BF212 sends a very weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500 A through the body to determine the amount of adipose tissue. The weak electric current is not felt when using the BF212. In order for the scale to determine body composition, it uses electrical impedance, along with information about your height, weight, age and gender to generate results based on OMRON's body composition data.

Recommended measurement times.

During the day, the amount of water in the body tends to gradually move towards the lower extremities. This is why there is a tendency for legs and ankles to swell in the evening or at night. The water quotient in the upper and lower part of the body is different in the morning and in the evening, and this means that the electrical impedance of the body also changes.

Being aware of the times your body fat percentage changes throughout the day will help you get an accurate feel of body fat. It is recommended to use this device in the same environment and under the same daily conditions. We recommend that you always take the measurement in the morning, when you have gotten up and emptied your bladder.

Avoid taking measurements in the following situations:

• Immediately after vigorous exercise
• After a bath and after being in the sauna.
• After consuming alcohol or large amounts of water, after a meal (about 2 hours)

If a measurement is made under these physical circumstances, the calculated body composition may differ significantly from the actual composition, as the water content of the body changes.

What is BMI (body mass index)?

BMI uses the following simple formula to indicate the relationship between a person's weight and height. BMI = Weight (kg) / Height (m) / Height (m) or BMI = Weight (lb) / Height (inches) / Height (inches) 703. OMRON BF212 uses the height information stored in the personal profile number , or when entering information in GUEST mode, to calculate your BMI classification.

What is body fat percentage?

Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat in relation to total body weight expressed as a percentage. Body fat percentage (%) = {body fat mass (kg) / body weight (kg)} x 100

The reason why calculated results differ from actual body composition:

The body composition measured by this device may differ significantly from the actual body composition in the following situations: elderly people (over 81 years old) / People with fever / Bodybuilders or highly trained athletes / Patients undergoing dialysis treatment / Patients with osteoporosis who have a very low bone density / Pregnant women / People with swelling. These differences can be attributed to changing conditions in body fluid and/or body composition.
