The Precision One Lifecare and Detecto Body Fat scales measure weight and use bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology to estimate and keep a record of body fat percent, total body water percent, bone mass percent, and muscle mass percent. The scales also provide a daily calorie intake recommendation and a fitness assessment. The scales are intended for use in the home/domestic setting only. Estimated body fat percent is intended for use on individuals 7-17 years old (Healthy Children) and 18-80 years old (Healthy Adults). Estimated body water percent, estimated muscle mass percent, estimated bone mass percent, and calorie intake are intended for use on individuals 18-80 years old. Children under 7 years old and adults over 80 years old can use the scales for normal weighing mode only. The scales are not intended for diagnosis.

The Body Fat scales use BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes an electrical current through the body to estimate body fat percent, muscle percent, body water percent, and bone percent. The electrical current is small and may not be felt. Contact with the body is made via glass and stainless steel pads on the platform of the analyzer. The devices are single frequency electrical bio-impedance analyzer. All models measure current, voltage and phase angle, calculate impedance, resistance and reactance. These measurements and calculations are used to estimate the body composition of: body fat percent, body water percent, muscle mass percent, bone mass percent, daily calories intake recommendation, and provides a fitness assessment. All models have a bi-polar set of contact electrodes which are attached to stainless steel pads on the platform of the analyzer. The scales can store the personal data of up to 12 users. As well as being an analyzer, these devices can be used as a conventional scale. The models have one operating mode: Algorithm Mode. Algorithm Mode; Displays estimates of body fat percent and body water percent. The devices compute these values using accepted reviewed published algorithms tailored to the candidate types: general population of the accepted age ranges of adult or children. The devices consist of a main unit having a glass or stainless steel platform for the user to step on. On the platform, 2 stainless steel electrodes are mounted which are connected to the electronics circuitry with the analyzing MCU. When the user steps on the electrodes (1 for each foot) a small current of about 90μA will pass through the user body through the 2 feet to complete the close circuitry in order for the analyzer to measure and capture the electrical data change in terms of Bio electrical impedance, resistance, reactance, taking into account other parameters as to personal data of Age, Height, Gender, and Weight.
