What's new?

Introducing the latest innovation in at-home body composition monitoring - the BC-558 Ironman InnerScan Segmental Body Composition Monitor. The BC-558 is the first and only segmental body composition monitor available to consumers to measure body composition in each limb.

Tanita has added handgrips to their standard platform-based electrode system which allows the BC-558 to calculate segmental body composition in addition to the customary full body measurement. The BC-558 gives individual body composition readings for each body segment - trunk, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg - as well as complete full body analysis. The BC-558 Ironman InnerScan uses the most advanced technology available to examine total body composition along with segmental body composition. In seconds, the BC-558 displays a complete body composition profile, including weight, total and segmental body fat percentage, body water percentage, total and segmental muscle mass, bone mass, basal metabolic rate, visceral fat, metabolic age and physique rating.

"The BC-558 is the next step in consumer body composition monitoring for dedicated sports and fitness enthusiasts," said Heather Bundgaard, Marketing Director, Tanita Corporation of America. "Tanita is the only company to offer this high level of body composition monitoring and we're excited to bring this new analysis to consumers,which is especially helpful for anyone who is monitoring balanced body training or recovering from an injury."

All measurements are calculated by using the full body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method. Full body BIA calculates a more accurate body composition by sending a low-level, safe electrical signal through the body. Based on the level of resistance and the user's height, weight and gender, the measurements are taken safely, accurately and conveniently in the home.

The BC-558 also features a graph function and graph recall for all results and a clock and calendar to help consumers accurately monitor all fitness levels. The BC-558 has a four person memory and a weight capacity of 330 pounds.

All Tanita scales have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
