Portable Segmental Body Composition Assessment
The Charder U310 (VM-SCA310) delivers professional-grade segmental body composition assessment in a portable, lightweight device, making comprehensive body composition measurement accessible in clinical nutrition, fitness, rehabilitation and community health settings where a fixed station analyzer is impractical. At 2.2kg with an included carry bag, the U310 can be taken to any location where a client or patient needs to be assessed.
Segmental BIA Technology and 8-Point Tactile Electrode Design
The U310 uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) across 10 impedance measurement points, applying 2 frequencies, 5kHz and 50kHz, across 5 body segments: right arm, left arm, trunk, right leg and left leg. This segmental approach provides granular body composition data for each limb and the trunk independently, enabling the detection of muscle or fat imbalances between body segments that whole-body BIA cannot reveal. The 8-point tactile electrode system, with four foot electrodes on the platform and four hand electrodes on the retractable cord, ensures consistent electrode contact with both the hands and feet simultaneously during measurement. The retractable cord accommodates users of different heights and body proportions, from children aged 6 to tall adults.
Rapid Scan Time and Availability in South Africa
A complete full-body segmental scan completes in approximately 25 seconds, with progress displayed clearly on the LCD screen throughout, supporting high-throughput clinical and fitness screening workflows without patient discomfort or prolonged standing. The U310 delivers results across five measurement categories, including body composition (total body water, bone mass, weight). Available in South Africa from Vital Medical, the U310 suits South African clinical nutrition practices, fitness facilities, rehabilitation centres and community health programmes needing portable, professional-grade body composition assessment. Facilities can request a free quote through the Vital Medical website and receive a personalised response within 24 hours.
