AKERN BIA 101 Anniversary

The latest development within the Akern family of Bio-impedance Analyzers, the BIA 101 Anniversary, features the unique combination of whole body and segmental analysis including a bilateral, side-by-side comparison of extremities.
- Whole body analysis of body composition
- Additional segmental analysis with
- Bilateral comparison
- Comparison of arm/leg – right/left
- Upper and lower body
- Soft Tissue Analysis without entry of patient data
- Direct display of all body composition results
- Unique evaluation of nutritional and hydration state by BiaVector® and BiaGram®
Introduced at the 25th anniversary of its legendary predecessor, the Akern BIA 101, the new BIA 101 Anniversary impresses with top accuracy and resolution, best suited for clinical and scientific applications. In addition to classical whole body composition analysis, BIA 101 Anniversary offers a segmental determination of body compartments and a side-by-side comparison of the extremities allowing objective therapy control and training guidance (fostering of bilateral muscle growth, avoidance of asymmetrical development).
Incorporating the most modern electronic design based on more than 30 years of experience in BIA technology, BIA 101 Anniversary offers an unprecedented accuracy in BIA analysis. The integration of signal processing provides a direct display of the complete set of BIA results, independent of the external PC based evaluation.
BIA 101 Anniversary is accompanied by the most complete program package, BodyGram® PRO software for whole body analysis and BIASCAN® PRO software for segmental analysis.
Especially appreciated in acute care medicine, the instrument also allows an instantaneous assessment of the clinical most relevant BIA parameters by ‘Soft Tissue Analysis’ without entry of any data, directly read off the integrated instrument display, without the need of a PC.
The instrument is best suited for applications in
- Sports medicine
- Sports science
- Orthopaedics
- Rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy
- Clinical and scientific research
