Omron BF511 Clinically Validated Full Body Composition Monitor with 8 High Precision Sensors for Hand-to-foot Measurement - Blue

Product Information

Body fat scales may give you a general idea of your BFP, and the results may be consistent even if they are inaccurate. However, they should not replace an evaluation by a healthcare professional, especially if you want to monitor health concerns. A 2021 study tested the accuracy of three smart body fat scales and compared the results with values from dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which is the gold standard of body composition.

Individuals who have a pacemaker implanted medical device or who are pregnant should not use body fat monitors that have an electrical current. We implement rigorous processes and procedures in OMRON Healthcare, such as training, and regular evaluation and assessment of measures taken. Bring your cell phone close to the body fat monitor when you’re ready to transfer information from your apps.

Digital Weight Scales & Body Composition Monitors

The results showed that body fat scales underestimated body fat, though they accurately measured body weight. Are body fat scales safe?

OMRON connect app requires specific permissions. Please note, you do not have to allow access to all these permissions. If you wish to review and/or disable some of these permissions, please navigate to your mobile device settings. Readings are best taken first thing in the morning before eating breakfast or taking a shower. If you need to get a reading during the day, wait at least two hours after eating to get on the monitor. BIA may affect pacemakers. Some research shows that BIA is safe for people with pacemakers, but it’s important to follow the directions for the specific device.

Clear and Insightful Results

Bluetooth: Bluetooth permission is required to allowed to enable communication with OMRON monitors. Turn ON OMRON connect location permission. To tell OMRON connect app that it has permission to access locations, go to: Care Team. This function will allow to share your measurements with your family, friends or caregivers.

The BCM-500 measures body composition based on human physiology. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissue, which contain high water content and conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue which stores little water and, therefore, has little electric conductivity. This electric conductivity is also known as “impedance.” This monitor uses the Bioelectric Impedance (BI) method, which sends a low-level electrical current through your body to determine the amount of water in each tissue. Along with your height, weight, age and gender information, this monitor determines your body composition.
