Bodystat Quadscan 4000 Touch Body Composition Analyser

Bodystat Quadscan 4000 Touch - Multi Frequency Body Composition & Fluid Analyser

The Bodystat Quadscan 4000 Touch is an advanced multi frequency bio impedance analyser which offers both whole body and segmental analysis. The Bodystat Quadscan 4000 offers clinicians and hospitals easy and accurate fluid analysis, cellular health analysis, prognostic health indicators, nutritional indexes and raw impedance data. 

The Bodystat Quadscan 4000 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.

Bodystat Prediction Marker (Impedance Ratio)

It is well documented that in disease states, extracellular fluid plays a vital role in patient outcomes. Uniquely, the QUADSCAN4000 can determine the expansion of the
extracellular fluid space which is a proven indicator to improving or declining cellular status. Bodystat uses the multi-frequency bio-impedance raw data measurement values it obtains for extracellular water and total body water to determine each
patient’s unique Prediction Marker; an increase in this value shows further deterioration in health status while a decrease shows cellular improvement.

Potential opportunity for use:

• Predictor of Outcome before surgery.
• Identify potential high risk surgery patients and track the effect of surgery.
• Raise awareness of potential complicated clinical courses of patients during hospitalization.
• Effectiveness of rehabilitation recovery after surgery.
• Assessment of cellular health & hydration status.

 Segmental Analysis

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, connect the electrodes according to the principal of equipotentials.

Only the accurate raw Impedance measurement data at 5 kHz and 200 kHz is used to calculate the Prediction Marker and applying its principles of interpretation.

Some users may additionally use the Reactance and Phase Angle values to interpret the measurement results.

It may either be the health or nutritional status of the body cells or the ratio of ECW to TBW of the particular body segment that is being determined.

This may also depend on the medical condition and health status of the subject itself and the segmental area of measurement.

However, the important point to remember it is CHANGE in the biomarker that should be focused upon to determine the TREND over a period of time, hours, days, weeks or months.

 BIVA - Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis

BIVA represents a quick pictorial method of showing hydration and nutritional status of a subject in comparison to
their population group. It can also be referred to as the “RXc graph”. Developed by Professor Antonio Piccoli in 1994, BIVA simply uses Resistance (R) and Reactance (Xc) at 50 kHz, measured to the subject’s height (not requiring the subject’s weight).

The subject’s results are shown in the form of a dot on the vector graph. The positioning of the dot reflects the subject’s health status in comparison to their relevant population group.
