Precision QUANTUM-2K Digital Bathroom Scale for 330Lbs - Accurate BMI Measurement

The Precision QUANTUM-2K Digital Bathroom Scale for 330Lbs is designed to provide comprehensive body composition analysis beyond just weight. Here's a detailed description of its features and how it measures BMI:

Key Features:

• High Precision Measurement: Equipped with advanced sensors, it offers accurate weight readings up to 330 lbs. (150 kg), typically with increments of 0.1 kg or 0.2 lbs.

• BMI Measurement: This scale goes beyond simple weight by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI).

• Body Composition Analysis: Utilizing Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology, it can estimate various indicators of body composition, including:

  • Body Weight

  • Body Fat Percentage

  • Body Water Percentage (Hydration)

  • Muscle Mass

  • Bone Mass

• Backlit LCD Display: Features an easy-to-read, large backlit LCD screen that ensures clear visibility of readings in various lighting conditions.

• User Memory & Auto Recognition: The scale can store personal data (age, height, gender, activity level) for multiple users, typically up to 8 or 10. It often includes an auto-recognition feature that identifies the user once they step on the scale.

• Step-on Technology: Automatically turns on and takes instant weight readings as soon as you step onto the platform, eliminating the need to tap it first.

• Durable Construction: Made with impact-resistant tempered glass for the platform, often with stainless-steel sensors, ensuring durability and a sleek design.

• Non-slip Feet: Designed with non-slip feet to prevent scratching floors and ensure stability during use.

• Convenience Features: Includes auto-off to conserve battery life, auto-zero functions, low battery, and overload indications.

• Unit Conversion: Allows you to switch between different weighing units (pounds, kilograms, and stone: pounds).

How it Measures BMI (and other body composition metrics):

The Precision QUANTUM-2K scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to determine BMI and other body composition metrics. Here's how it generally works:

1. Personal Data Input: Before using the body composition features, you need to input your personal data, such as your height, age, and gender, into the scale's memory. This information is crucial for the mathematical formulas used in BIA.

2. Electrical Current: When you step onto the scale barefoot, it sends a safe, very low-level electrical current through your body via metal contacts on the platform. You typically won't feel this current.

3. Resistance Measurement: The electrical current travels differently through various body tissues. Lean muscle tissue, which has a high-water content, allows the current to pass through easily (low resistance or impedance). Fat tissue, with its lower water content, offers more resistance (higher impedance).

4. Calculation: The scale measures the resistance (impedance) the current encounters. Using this resistance value, along with your pre-entered height, age, and gender, a built-in algorithm and mathematical formulas estimate your total body water, fat-free mass, and ultimately your body fat percentage.

5. BMI Calculation: With your weight (measured by the scale's sensors) and your height (entered by you), the scale then calculates your Body Mass Index (BMI) using the standard formula:

   BMI=height(m)2weight(kg)

   or if using pounds and inches:

   BMI=height(inches)2weight(lbs.) ×703

   The scale will then display your calculated BMI, along with other body composition data like body fat, water, muscle, and bone mass.

Important Note: It's generally advised that individuals with pacemakers or other electronic medical implants should not use the body fat or other body composition features of BIA scales, as the electrical current could potentially interfere with their devices. They can still use the scale for weight measurement only.

This scale is an ideal tool for individuals looking to track their fitness progress, monitor their overall health, and gain a more comprehensive understanding of their body composition
