Tanita TBF300A (TBF-300A) Monitor body composition with just the push of a button, instead of the squeeze of a caliper! This compact and portable certified Legal for Trade scale boasts the Goal Setter feature that lets you create healthy target percentage body fat levels. This model also features a “ Wrestler Mode,” which helps determine a wrestler’s “Minimum Wrestling Weight” based on established guidelines. It also features a separate digital display with built-in thermal printer.

The Tanita TBF-300A Body Composition Analyzer (formerly the Tanita TBF-300GS) utilize patented "foot-to-foot" BIA technology (Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis) to make determining internal body composition a fast and accurate procedure. The features of the Tanita TBF300A include 440 lb. x 0.2 lb. scale capacity, adult, child (7 years and up), athletic modes, and weight only function.

This lightweight, portable model prints out Fat Mass, Fat Free Mass, Fat Percentage, Total Body Water, BMR and Desirable Ranges automatically. Up to 9 copies, fast thermal printer, and RS-232 port for computer interface are standard with both the TBF-300A and TBF-300W. Tanita's body composition analyzers are used independently or they can be interfaced with a computer running Tanita's Health Management Software.

While most other professional scales rely on inexpensive mechanical levers and springs that may wear out quickly, Tanita's weighing system consists of a "motionless" block of solid metal known as a "Single-Point Load Cell." To you, this means better accuracy and durability for years to come.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis "weighs" each of the different kinds of tissue in your body. It measures the amount of muscle and other lean tissue, like your organs, and the amount of fat and water in your body. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is based on the conductive and non-conductive properties that exist in biological tissues. Most of the body's fat-free mass is composed of conductive tissues such as muscle, while fat is part of the non-conductive tissue mass. The volume of these tissues can be estimated from the measurement of the resistance to an applied electric current flowing through the body.

BIA measures the impedance or resistance to the signal as it travels through the water that is found in muscle and fat. The more muscle a person has, the more water their body can hold. The greater the amount of water in a person's body, the easier it is for the current to pass through it. The more fat, the more resistance to the current. BIA is safe and it does not hurt. In fact, the signal used in body fat monitors can not be felt at all either by an adult or child.

Warning: Do not use the body fat monitor function of this product if you have a pacemaker, or other implanted medical device.
