Intended Use
Tanita Body Composition Analyzers have been clinically proven to be accurate, reliable and
provide highly repeatable results. Our Analyzers are used worldwide by health, research
and medical professionals primarily in the following fields:
- medical screening and health assessments of adults and children
- monitoring the progress of weight loss during medical treatment relating to lifestyle
diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, bariatric surgery, hypertension and fatty liver
disease.
- monitoring increases of muscle mass, reduction of body fat and hydration levels as part of
a fitness or training program
- assessing the true effectiveness of nutrition and physical activity programs where body
mass index cannot identify key changes in body composition
- collating subject data for large cohort research studies
Efficacy
1. This product is simple to use, and requires no specialized facilities or expertise to take
measurements.
2. Measurements can be taken quickly and easily, causing minimal inconvenience to the
patient during measurements.

Warning
Caution
Warning
or severe injury.
Failure to follow instructions highlighted with this mark could result in injury
or damage to property.
This mark indicates actions that are prohibited.
This mark indicates instructions that must always be followed.
Prohibited
This device must not be used on subjects with pacemakers or other
mechanical implants.
This device passes a weak electrical current through the body which could
interfere with and cause the malfunction of electrical medical implants, with
serious consequences.
Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
This may result in electric shock, fire, or current leakage.
Keep this equipment away from flammable gas and oxygen-rich
environments.
Do not modify this equipment.
There is a risk of electrocution or injury, and precise analysis cannot be
guaranteed.
Do not use multiple adapters.
This may result in fire.
4
Required
Use only a correctly wired outlet.
Only genuine cables and equipment can be used.
The power cord must be connected to a type A plug (with a ground
terminal).
Failure to do so may result in an electric shock or current leakage.
en
Prohibited
Caution
Do not allow the equipment to get wet.
Avoid using on subjects with allergies to metals.
Allergic reactions may be caused by the stainless steel used in the electrodes of this device.
Do not jump on the equipment.
Do not lean on the equipment.
Do not use this equipment near other products that emit electromagnetic waves.
Do not insert fingers into any of the gaps or holes.
Do not apply force to the display.
The screen may break and cause injury.
Do not place items sensitive to magnetic forces near the equipment.
The magnet of the impedance meter may corrupt data on devices such as USB memory sticks if
these are placed near the equipment.
Assist persons with disabilities.
Another person should assist persons with disabilities who may not be able to take a
measurement alone.
Before Use
Required
Clean the scale platform with appropriate disinfectant after each use.
Stand clear of the subject during measurement to ensure accuracy.
Continually monitor both the subject and the equipment for anomalies.
If an anomaly in the subject or equipment is discovered, take appropriate action, such as
stopping the equipment, while ensuring the safety of the subject.
Use the included AC cord.
Do not lean against the equipment.
Unplug the AC cable from the equipment when moving it.
Tighten the adjustable feet when moving the equipment.
Interpretation of analysis results (e.g. evaluation of measurements and formulation of
exercise programs based on results) must be performed by a professional.
Weight loss measures and exercise based on self-analysis could be harmful to your health.
Always follow the advice of a qualified professional.
This equipment is designated a Class B IT device (mainly for systems intended to be used
in indoor environments) and is CE (EMC) certified, but it may affect devices that are sensitive to electromagnetic waves.
If connecting a computer or peripheral devices to this equipment, please use a device complying
with IEC60601-1 (EN60601-1). Power must be supplied from a medical isolation transformer for
IEC60950 (EN60950) devices. Keep a distance of 1.5m between units during operation. Failure to
do so may cause electric shock to subjects or malfunction.

Before Use
For Accurate Measurements
Avoid measuring after strenuous exercise.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Please take measurements after
sufficient rest.
Avoid measuring after over-eating or over-drinking, or when severely
dehydrated.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. For greater accuracy, avoid
using directly after waking up. Use at the same time of day each time, at
Prohibited
least three hours after the last meal.
Ensure arms are not touching sides and inner thighs are not touching each other during
measurement. If necessary, place a dry towel between arm and side and/or between thighs.
Do not take measurements while using transmitting devices such as mobile phones, as
these may affect readings.
Use the equipment under the same conditions and in the same position as much as possible for accurate tracking of changes.
Readings are affected by the level of hydration and position of the body.
Please use at the same time of day each time, under the same conditions
and in the same body position.
Required
Avoid measuring in multiple locations with greatly differing
temperatures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand
for at least 2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a
temperature difference of ±68˚F/±20˚C or more.
Make sure the soles of the feet are free of excess dirt, as this may block the mild electric
current.
Always take measurements with both arms straight down to prevent measurement errors
such as underestimation of body fat.
Feet should be bare and placed correctly on the electrode platform. Arms should be straight
down during measurement.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur if the device is used in an unstable location.

• Inspect the display for any damage or contamination
• Inspect all cables, cords, and connector ends for damage or contamination
• Inspect all safety-related labeling for legibility
• Inspect all accessories (sensors, electrodes, etc.) for wear or damage
Required
3. Visually inspect the following at least monthly:
• Mounting screws on stand
Update settings, replace items, or call for service as necessary according to the results
of the visual inspections. Do not use the unit if you see any signs of damage. Equipment
