Prior to Use
Before You Start
1
Have the subject lie down facing up on a thin mat or examination
table.
Position the main unit over the abdominal area of the supine
subject.
* If the patient is clothed, completely expose the skin on abdomen and sides for an area of 10cm
centred on the navel.
* The display of the main unit may be on either the left or right side of the subject.
3
Expose the navel area.
2
The setting up phase is now complete.
Use on a flat, stable surface.
• Do not place in direct sunlight, near heaters or the air stream from air-conditioners.
• Do not place in locations of extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Do not place in highly humid or damp places.
Positioning the Unit Correctly
Please…
Ensure he subject’s hands are placed on their chest as shown
in the diagram above.
As the distance sensor measures the breadth of the abdomen,
ensure that no clothes or elbows impinge on the 10cm area
centred on the navel.
Do not allow the distance sensors to come into contact with the
abdomen. Refer to page 21, Waist Circumferences Over 130cm, when contact is unavoidable due to
a large waist, or when the main unit cannot accommodate the size of the abdomen.
Pillows may cause measurement errors. Avoid using them as much as possible.
For Your Reference
Store the impedance meter in the main unit when not in use.
1. Slide the impedance
meter down from the
top.
2. Hang the switch
hanger on the main
unit hook (ensure
that the Power LED
on the impedance
meter is off).
Check that the Power
LED is off.
Measuring
Please…
Do not expose the impedance meter to strong impacts when it is stored in the main unit as it may fall
off.
Expose the skin in this area.
Suitably firm surface
(thin mat, examination table, etc.).
