Marsden MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyser (Class III Approved)

Description

The Marsden MA801 is the most advanced Class III Professional Body Composition Analyser. Ideal for medical research, NHS clinics, and elite sports.

The Marsden MA801 is a flagship diagnostic workstation, representing the highest tier of the Marsden and Charder engineering partnership. Designed for medical research, elite sports performance, and advanced clinical monitoring, the MA801 transcends standard weighing to provide a high-definition cellular map of human health.

Utilising 5-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), it offers the highest level of precision available in a standing scale. It is the preferred choice for specialist NHS departments, university research labs, and professional athletic associations requiring research-grade data. Featuring 5-frequency BIA, 8-point segmental analysis, and a 10.1″ touchscreen. 8-year warranty included.

The Professional Standard in Body Analysis

While standard analysers use one or three frequencies, the MA801 employs five distinct frequencies ranging from 5kHz to 250kHz. This multi-frequency approach allows the device to bypass the “noise” of skin resistance and measure with extreme accuracy the fluid balance both inside and outside the cells.

Key Performance Features:

• Medical Research Grade: Features BIVA (Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis) and Phase Angle—vital markers for nutritional status, cellular integrity, and recovery readiness.

• Segmental Precision: The 8-point tactile electrode system isolates muscle and fat data for each individual limb and the trunk, allowing clinicians to spot asymmetries or track rehabilitation progress.

• 10.1″ HD Colour Touchscreen: A massive, high-definition interface provides an intuitive user experience, showing detailed visual graphs of history and progress directly on the device.

• Massive Connectivity: Equipped with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3x USB ports for seamless data transfer to patient management systems or the Charder Insight software.

• High-Volume Data Capacity: Stores up to 100,000 measurements internally, making it ideal for high-traffic environments like stadiums or large medical wards.

40+ Advanced Health Metrics

The MA801 provides the most comprehensive result sheet in the industry, including:

• Core Composition: Weight, BMI, Body Fat %, Visceral Fat Area (sq cm), and Subcutaneous Fat.

• Fluid & Oedema Management: Intracellular Water (ICW), Extracellular Water (ECW), Total Body Water (TBW), and the Oedema Index (ECW/TBW ratio) for cardiac and renal monitoring.

• Muscle & Bone Health: Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Protein Mass, Mineral Mass, and a Muscle Quality Score (grip strength estimation).

• Metabolic Data: Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), Total Energy Expenditure (TEE), and Metabolic Age.

• Research Parameters: Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI), Skeletal Muscle Index (SMI), and full Segmental Lean/Fat Mass.
