Marsden Charder MA601 Advanced Body Composition Analyser (Class III Approved)

Description

The Marsden Charder MA601 is a Class III Approved advanced body composition analyser. Featuring triple-frequency BIA, 300kg capacity, and an 8-year warranty. Ideal for NHS, pharmacies, and elite gyms.

The Marsden Charder MA601 is the gold standard in diagnostic weighing, representing a landmark partnership in medical engineering. By combining Charder’s world-leading Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology with Marsden’s renowned UK clinical support and 8-year reliability, the MA601 delivers DEXA-correlated accuracy for the most demanding professional environments.

As a Class III Approved medical device, the MA601 is legally certified for use in NHS hospitals, GP surgeries, and pharmacies. It is not merely a scale, but a comprehensive health-mapping tool used by elite sports teams and bariatric clinics to monitor internal physiological changes with clinical precision.

A Partnership of Precision: Marsden & Charder

When you invest in the MA601, you are benefiting from a global alliance:

• Charder Medical: The original manufacturer and a global pioneer in BIA research, providing the sophisticated triple-frequency hardware.

• Marsden Weighing: The UK’s largest medical scale provider, ensuring every unit meets stringent British healthcare standards and providing the industry-leading 8-year warranty.

Why the MA601 Surpasses Standard Analysers

The MA601 uses Triple-Frequency BIA Technology. Unlike standard body fat scales that use a single frequency, the MA601 sends three distinct electrical currents through the body. This allows it to penetrate the cell membrane, accurately distinguishing between Intracellular Water (ICW) and Extracellular Water (ECW)—a critical metric for identifying oedema, inflammation, and true cellular health.

Advanced Diagnostic Features:

• Segmental Analysis: Detailed breakdown of fat and muscle distribution across five body segments (Trunk, Right Arm, Left Arm, Right Leg, Left Leg).

• Muscle Quality Score: A unique metric that evaluates the integrity of muscle fibres, helping clinicians identify sarcopenia and trainers track genuine strength gains.

• Massive 300kg Capacity: Featuring a low-profile, reinforced 450mm x 425mm platform to accommodate bariatric patients safely.

• Automated Reporting: The integrated thermal printer provides an instant, easy-to-read diagnostic sheet for patient records or client consultations.

18+ Comprehensive Health Metrics

The MA601 provides a full medical breakdown in under 60 seconds, displayed on a 7-inch colour touchscreen:

• Body Composition: Weight, BMI, Body Fat %, Fat Mass (FM), Fat-Free Mass (FFM), and Visceral Fat Level.

• Muscular Analysis: Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Muscle Mass (MM), and Protein Mass.

• Fluid Balance: Total Body Water (TBW), ICW, ECW, and the ECW/TBW ratio.

• Metabolic Insights: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Metabolic Age, and Phase Angle (Cellular Health).

Technical Specifications

The MA601 is a Class III Medical Device, the legal requirement for medical diagnosis and treatment in the UK. Note: This is a Medical Approval, not a “Trade Approval” (which is for buying/selling goods by weight).
