ABOUT THE DEVICE
WARNING: It is not recommended for persons with implanted medical equipment such
as pacemakers or pregnant women to use the Monitor.
• The Monitor is intended for home use only, not for hospital diagnosis purposes.
• The BMI and Body Fat Index measurements done with the Monitor should only be treated
as an approximate indication of your health level. Consult with your physician for a full and
thorough evaluation.
• Body Fat Index and Body Mass Index measurements are less accurate for professional
athletes, bodybuilders, children, teenagers, and persons over the age of 65 due to the
difference in their body compositions. However, this device can still help individuals in the
groups above to track their body fat trends over time.
