rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor
immediately.

Caution:

• Do not disassemble, repair, or remodel the display
unit or the main unit.

• Do not use a cellular phone near the display unit or
the main unit.

• Take care when storing the display unit. Your
fingers may be trapped between the grip and the
main unit if you press it too strongly.

• Do not use batteries not specified for this unit. Do
not insert the batteries with the polarities in the
wrong direction.

• Replace worn batteries with new ones immediately.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing,
immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.

• Remove the batteries from this unit when you are
not going to use it for a long period of time
(approximately three months or more).

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

• Do not use new and worn batteries together.

• Remove the display unit from main unit before
stepping on the unit. If you try to remove the display
unit while stepping on to the unit, you may lose your

Principle of body composition calculation

Body fat has low electric conductivity

The BF508 measures the body fat percentage by the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method. Muscles, blood vessels
and bones are body tissues with a high water content that conducts electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little
electric conductivity. The BF508 sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz and less than 500 μA through
your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is not felt while operating the BF508.

In order for the scale to determine your body composition, it uses the electrical impedance, along with your height,
weight, age and gender information to generate results based on OMRON’s data of body composition.

Measures the whole body to avoid the influence of fluctuations

During the course of a day, the amount of water in the body tends to gradually shift to the lower limbs. This is why
there is a tendency for the legs and ankles to swell in the evening or at night. The ratio of water in the upper body
and lower body is different in the morning and evening, and this means that the electrical impedance of the body
also varies. Since the BF508 uses electrodes for both hands and feet to take measurements, it can reduce the
influence of these fluctuations on measurement results.

Recommended measurement times

Understanding the normal changes in your body fat percentage can help you in preventing or reducing obesity.
Being aware of the times when the body fat percentages shift within your own daily schedule will assist you in
obtaining an accurate trending of your body fat. It is recommended to use this unit in the same environment and
daily circumstances. (See chart)

Avoid Taking Measurements Under the Following Conditions:

- Immediately after vigorous exercise, after a bath or sauna.

- After drinking alcohol or a large amount of water, after a meal (about 2 hours).

If a measurement is taken under these physical conditions, the calculated body composition may differ significantly
from the actual one because the water content in the body is changing.

Information on Body Composition

What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?

BMI uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person.

The OMRON BF508 uses the height information stored in your personal profile number or when entering
information in the Guest Mode to calculate your BMI classification.

If the fat level revealed by BMI is higher than the international standard, there is an increased likelihood of common
diseases. However, not all types of fat can be revealed by BMI.

What is Body Fat Percentage?

Body fat percentage refers to the amount of body fat mass in regards to the total body weight expressed as a
percentage.

Body fat percentage (%) = {Body fat mass (kg) / Body weight (kg)} × 100

The BF508 uses the BI method to estimate your body fat percentage.
Depending on where the fat is distributed in the body, it is classified as visceral fat or subcutaneous fat.

What is Visceral Fat Level?

Visceral fat = fat surrounding internal organs

Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels of fat in the
bloodstream, which can lead to common diseases such as hyperlipidemia and
diabetes, which impairs the ability of insulin to transfer energy from the bloodstream
and using it in cells. In order to prevent or improve conditions of common diseases,
it is important to try and reduce visceral fat levels to an acceptable level. People
with high visceral fat levels tend to have large stomachs. However, this is not
always the case and high visceral fat levels can lead to metabolic obesity. Metabolic
obesity (visceral obesity with normal weight) represents fat levels that are higher
than average, even if a person’s weight is at or below the standard for their height.

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) / height (m)

What is Subcutaneous Fat?

Subcutaneous fat = fat below the skin

Subcutaneous fat not only accumulates around the stomach but also around the
upper arms, hips and thighs, and can cause a distortion of the body’s proportions.
Although not directly linked to increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase
pressure on the heart and other complications. Subcutaneous fat is not displayed in
this unit, but is included in the body fat percentage.

The reason calculated results may differ from actual body fat percentage

The body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage in
the following situations:

Elderly people (over 81 years old) / People with a fever / Body builders or highly trained athletes /
Patients undergoing dialysis / Patients with osteoporosis who have very low bone density / Pregnant women /
People with swelling

These differences may be related to changing ratios of body fluid and/or body composition.

Battery Life and Replacement

When the battery low indicator ( ) appears,
replace all four batteries with new ones.
Personal data stored in memory are retained
even if the batteries are removed.

• Disposal of used batteries should be carried out
in accordance with the national regulations for
the disposal of batteries.

• Four AA batteries will last approximately 1 year
(when measurements are made four times a
day).

• Because the supplied batteries are for trial use
only, they may have a shorter life.

The indicators in the measurement progress bar at
the bottom of the display will gradually appear,
from left to right.

To ensure accurate measurement results, measurements should be taken on a hard, level surface.

1. Turn on the power.

“CAL” blinks on the
display, then the
display changes to “0.0
kg”.

Note: If you step onto the unit before “0.0 kg”

appears on the display, an error
message “Err” will appear.

2. When the “0.0 kg” is displayed, take

out the display unit.

Note: Do not take out the display unit until

“0.0 kg” appears on the display.
Otherwise, the weight of the display is
added to your body weight which
causes an incorrect result.

3. Select the personal profile number.

While holding the display unit, step on the
main unit and place your feet on the foot
electrodes with your weight evenly
distributed.

The display will show your weight and then the
weight result will blink twice.
The unit will then start to measure your body fat
percentage and visceral fat level.

2) When “START” appears on the display,

extend your arms straight at a 90° angle
to your body, as illustrated on the next
page.

Your personal data is not stored in the personal
profile number you have selected. Refer to
Section 3 to store personal data.

If you do not have personal data
stored on the unit (GUEST

In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim of preventing
unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels
of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for
medical devices.

This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2001 standard for
both immunity and emissions.

Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic

fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe
situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m.
Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.

Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at OMRON Healthcare Europe at the
address mentioned in this instruction manual.
