The Biomatic is a device allowing the thorough follow up of the body composition by multi-frequency bio-impedancemetry, for a better understanding.

Applications
The Biomatic offers a complete and trustful information in many applications such as setting and follow up of a diet, a physical training, a check-up or any specific treatment. In this way, the Biomatic becomes a very useful tool for nutritionists and dieticians, sport doctors and instructors for amateurs or professionals (sport centre or club), general practitioners (obesity or diabetes troubles, annual check-up...), spa centres, etc.

Procedure
Through 2 pairs of electrodes placed on each hand and foot (same side), the Biomatic will emit a very low frequency current between both distal electrodes.

The different frequencies of 1KHz – 5KHz – 10 KHz – 50 KHz – 100KHz will allow to measure different ratios about the intra- and extra-cellular total body composition (upper part and lower part), distinguishing the fat body mass, the lean body mass and the water in the body.

Mesured parameters
BMI, Fat Body Mass (kg, weight % and index), Total Lean Body Mass (kg, weight % and index), Lean Body Mass anhydrous (kg, weight % and index), Total water (L, weight %, Lean Mass % and index), Active cellular mass, Extra-cellular mass, Ratio Active cellular mass to Extra-cellular, Ratio Active cellular mass to Lean mass, Active cellular mass indexed (reflect of basal metabolism), Exchangeable potassium, Ratio Sodium to Potassium, Ideal weight and Nutritional index.

Precision in measurement
An automatic calibration step starts before each measurement. This step ensures the very high precision of any measurement, even after a long period of use. Many devices on the market do not have a calibration step, which makes their results incorrect after few months of use.

The use of four electrodes allows getting free from the skin tissues resistance.

Software
The Biomatic device can be used alone. However, Euromi has developed a CD-Rom software to go deeper in the analysis and providing many extra possibilities.

The Biomatic software is an application allowing to visualize and to highlight the different measured parameters directly on your computer (PC or Mac). The software offers a large range of tables or adjustable graphics, for patients (including the explanation of each parameter) or for doctors (clear tables). It will allow to precisely follow up each of your patients, highlighting their different visits, and to set individualized objectives with your patient.
