Imp SFB7

XCA Pro "Investigational device for complete body composition analysis"

The Imp SFB7 is a single channel, tetra-polar bioimpedance spectroscopy device that scans 256 frequencies between 4 kHz to 1024 kHz. The device utilises a Cole-Cole plot with Hanai mixture theory to determine total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular (ICW) directly from the device analysis. Fat free mass (FFM) and fat mass (FM) are then calculated using hydration constants which can be modified for different subject types in the optional BioImp supporting software. Therefore, no population specific algorithms are needed for the system.

Imp XCA Professional

XCA Pro"Imp XCA - assessment of the development of Unilateral lymphedema of the Arm."

The Imp XCA is a valuable new tool for assisting in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphedema of the arm. The Imp XCA is an accurate single frequency bioimpedance analyser that measures impedance and resistance. These measurements are derived using a single frequency below 30kHz, and therefore measuring the impedance in the Extracellular Fluid (ECF). The device uses the readings to calculate an Index and the ECF volume difference between the affected and unaffected limbs.

Imp DF50

Imp DF50"Single frequency bioimpedance comes of age."

The new standard in single frequency body composition analysis is the Imp DF50. Until now single frequency bioimpedance has been limited by the “one algorithm fits all” approach. Single frequency bioimpedance has now come of age with the Imp DF50’s three population specific peer reviewed algorithms providing greater accuracy over broader population groups.
