Features, Benefits & Uses of the Bodystat Multiscan 5000

The latest-generation Bodystat Multiscan 5000 combines advanced Bioelectrical Impedance Spectroscopy (BIS) with enhanced measurement performance, improved connectivity and practical features designed to support clinical assessment and research.

Advanced Measurement Technology

  • 50 frequencies in just 2 seconds: Rapid BIS measurements across a wide frequency range, reducing the opportunity for patient movement during measurement.
  • Enhanced measurement accuracy and reproducibility: Improved control of stray capacitance supports stable impedance and Phase Angle measurements, including at higher frequencies.
  • Optimised Cole-Cole analysis: Improved modelling supports reliable interpretation of impedance data while reducing the need for manual adjustments associated with the Hook Effect.
  • Improved electrode lead wires: Durable, low-capacitance leads support consistent measurement performance, particularly at higher frequencies.
  • Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA): Visual representation of impedance parameters to support assessment of hydration and cellular status.

Designed for Clinical Convenience

  • Lightweight and portable: Suitable for use across a range of clinical and research environments.
  • Bluetooth connectivity: Enables wireless transfer of measurement data to compatible software.
  • Extended battery performance: Up to 16 hours of battery life to support use throughout the clinical day.
  • Expanded onboard storage: Stores up to 1,000 measurements for greater flexibility when working across multiple patients or locations.
  • Wireless charging: Convenient charging without a physical charging connector.
  • Remote software support: Enables version updates and system diagnostics.
  • HL7 integration: Supports integration with compatible clinical information systems.

Clinical Applications

The Multiscan 5000 provides body composition, hydration and nutritional parameters that can support assessment and monitoring across a range of clinical settings.

  • Nutritional assessment: Monitoring body composition, Body Cell Mass and Phase Angle as additional indicators of nutritional and cellular status.
  • Sarcopenia: Monitoring changes in skeletal muscle mass, including Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (ASMM), to support muscle health assessment and longitudinal monitoring.
  • Cachexia: Monitoring body composition changes in patients with cancer, heart failure and other chronic conditions.
  • Renal dialysis: Assessing hydration status and estimated fluid overload before and after dialysis.*
  • Lymphoedema: Supporting the assessment and monitoring of changes in fluid distribution.
  • Critical care: Providing additional insight into body composition and fluid status when changes in body weight alone may be difficult to interpret.

*NB: For a dialysis unit, the hydration status provided by the Bodystat
device provides an indication only for setting the target weight through
the overhydration (OHY) value. However, a target weight cannot be set simply on the basis of the Bodystat data. Information on residual renal function, daily weight gains and symptoms on dialysis must also be considered in the course of normal clinical patient evaluation.
