The Tanita BC-545 is designed to assess the impact of your training routine on different parts of your body.
It is able to give individual body composition readings for 5 body segments (ie each arm, each leg and the trunk area). The measurements are taken quickly and accurately by standing on the 4 footplates and by pulling the hand electrodes. The monitor will then send a safe low signal from the hand and footplate electrodes through the body. The resistance to the measurement (known as Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or BIA) is then fed into researched equations to provide your personalized body composition readings. A calendar function is included in this model, and the model also has comparison graphs that show a history for each segment of the body and for each of the body composition readings, so that you can see your progress, day by day, week by week, and month by month over a 3 year period. The model has backlit buttons and animated illustrations that are clear and user-friendly. The scales also come with batteries and a 3 year guarantee. Caution: You cannot use this if you have a heart pacemaker.
The Total Body InnerScan scales will also measure your:
• visceral rating (ie your central fat or 'bad' fat rating re the fat that surrounds the internal organs in the stomach/trunk area of your body)
• bone mineral mass (ie your bone health)
• Basal Metabolic Rate (your minimum calorie needs)
• metabolic age (how old is your body?)
• childrens’ healthy range (fat/health check)
• body fat % (excess fat and health)
• total body water % (hydration)
• muscle mass (lean weight)
• physique (your balance between fat and muscle)
• weight (up to 150kg, with 100g accuracy)

PRODUCT SUMMARY
Tanita Monitors are universally recognised as being the most accurate monitors available in today's market. This reflects over 10 years of medical research into Bio-Electrical Impedence Analysis (BIA) Technology and body composition at the renowned Tanita Health Research Centre in Japan. The exclusive BIA technology used in the Tanita Health and Fitness Monitors for home use is based on the same advanced technology found in Tanita's Professional Body Compositions Analysers used by hospitals and medical professionals around the world. The BIA method measures body composition by sending a very low, safe electrical signal through the body. The signal passes freely through the fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and bone, but encounters difficulty passing through fat tissue. This difficulty, or resistance, is termed 'bioelectrical impedance', and is accurately measured by the Body Fat Monitor. When set against gender, height, age and weight, the Body Fat Monitor is able to calculate your body fat percentage. In addition, Tanita health monitors can measure a wide range of measurements from the inside out: Tanita can monitor your overall fat and hydration levels, the dangerous visceral fat ratings, your metabolic age and physique ratings. Tanita's health monitors include settings that differentiate individuals by age, sex, and athletic prowess, and so can be used by the whole family. Tanita can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle and monitor your progress. The overwhelming feedback that Tanita has received from the users and researchers, is that the Tanita Monitors represent an excellent management tool for anyone interested in, or who need to monitor their weight, body fat and health generally. Tanita’s website, www.tanitaaustralia.com.au, has a lot of additional information regarding the Tanita innerscan health monitors.
