Figure Lengend Snippet: The ACCUNIQ BC300 works on the principle of BIA, that is, electric current passes through the body at a differential rate depending on body composition. The patient is asked to stand on the metal plates on the base, which acts as an electrode followed by holding the horizontal bar, which also has circumferential electrodes. The machine generates an electric current between the two electrodes, which passes through the body and then measures the drop in voltage, which is a measure of the resistance provided by individual tissues and hence the physical composition. It is contraindicated in patients with pacemakers, orthopedic nails, or implants.

Article Snippet: All patients enrolled in the study were evaluated for baseline percentage body fat and other baseline body composition parameters including total body weight, total body water, and skeletal muscle mass using the ACCUNIQ BC300 machine (SELVAS Healthcare, Inc., Daejeon, South Korea), which works on the principle of bioimpedance analysis (BIA) [ ].
