The BC545 is the perfect choice for fitness enthusiasts, active families and Personal Trainers; based on the very latest technology and research in body composition monitoring, Tanita has created a product that provides vital information which allows you to monitor the impact of your personal nutrition & activity programme.  

 The Tanita BC 545 Segmental Body Fat Analyser is an advanced monitor with dual frequency technology that provides accurate and personalised body composition readings.

Segmental body analysis allows the user to analyse results in greater depth by breaking down the body into 5 separate segments; both arms, both legs and the trunk.
Segmental readings are given on weight, segmental fat percentage and segmental muscle mass. This information allows the user to look for physiological bio-mechanical differences and enables their training to be tailored accordingly.

The Tanita BC 545 measures weight, muscle mass and body fat percentage. It also provides readings for basal metabolic rate (BMR), bone mineral mass, metabolic age and visceral fat rating.
Healthy ranges and a physique rating are also provided while the BC 545 also offers the user athlete and guest modes. Comparison graphs display a segmental history of readings, allowing users to monitor their progress over time.
The display screen provides clear, user-friendly animated illustrations and a calendar function is also included with a 4-user storage memory.
Tanita Innerscan body composition monitors are the next generation in healthcare. The technology used is based on the same advanced technology found in Tanita professional body composition analysers widely used by doctors, medical centres and by professional athletic teams, fitness clubs and personal trainers around the world.

The user stands on the platform of the scale, which incorporates four electrodes, and gently pulls the hand electrodes that are conveniently housed in the base unit using retractable connecting cables. The monitor will then send a safe low signal from the combined eight hand & footplate electrodes through the body. The resistance to the measurement, known as Bio-Electrical Impedance Analysis (or BIA), is then fed into well-researched equations to provide accurate and personalized body composition readings.

Designed for the dedicated sports and fitness person to assess the impact of any training routine on their total and segmental body composition, this totally unique product gives individual body composition readings for each of 5 body segments - each arm, each leg and the trunk area. The retractable hand-grips allow full body composition to be taken quickly and with increased accuracy.

A calendar function is included, and comparison graphs show a history for each segment of the body and for each of the body composition readings, so that the user can see their progress, day by day, week by week and month by month over a 3 year period. The backlit buttons and animated illustrations are clear and user-friendly, and the scales come with batteries included and a 3 year guarantee.

Key Features:

• Segmental Body Analysis Breaks down body composition into 5 segments
• Analysis of body fat percentage
• Measurement of total body water percentage
• A host of other measurements
• Graphical display Visual display of changes in body composition over time
• Weight only mode Quick assessemnt of weight only
• Guest mode For quick one off analysis

• Body Fat %: Provides total fat % and a percentage fat breakdown for each of the following; Left Arm, Left Leg, Right Arm, Right Leg, and Torso.
• Muscle Mass: Displays total muscle mass and each of the following; Left Arm, Left Leg, Right Arm, Right Leg, Trunk and a Physique rating.
• Physique Rating: Uses one of nine different physique types and matches you based upon a calculation that takes into consideration your body composition results.
• Weight: For ages 5 years and over
• Body Water %: For ages 18 to 99 years. The ability to measure Total Body Water % (TBW%) is exceptionally useful as staying well hydrated is vital for both physical and cognitive performance.
• Bone Mass: There is a close correlation between bone mineral mass and fat free mass (FFM), exercise and a balanced diet will promote increased bone mineral mass.
• Visceral Fat: Visceral fat is also known as intra-abdominal fat, this fat is packed in between the internal organs. An excess of visceral fat, is known as a “pot belly” or “beer belly”, there are strong links between visceral fat and certain health related diseases such as coronary heart disease, type II diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
• BMR: The number of calories your body needs when at rest. Metabolism speed is determined by numerous factors such as age, gender, muscle mass and body fat. It is possible to use this information to develop a fitness/weight loss program.
• Metabolic Age: As you grow older basal metabolic rate decreases, it tends to peak at about 16/17 years old. Metabolism age is the comparison of the users BMR, to the expected values based upon age.
• Daily - Weekly - Monthly Graph Function: Provides comparative data for up to four pre-programmed users.
• Healthy Children's Range: The monitor facilitates measurement of body fat for children from age 5 years and provides normative ranges for comparison.
