Clinical Validation Without Compromise
At the core of every BIA solution is rigorous validation against reference methods – clear proof of its suitability for medical applications. It is not the quantity of publications that is important, but rather a study design that is as high-quality as possible with suitable test subject collectives and reference methods.
Validated with gold standard procedure
In four comprehensive studies, over 400 subjects were assessed using gold-standard reference methods. The calculation formulas were generated and validated based on these results.
Skeletal muscle mass
97% accuracy
compared to whole-body MRI*
Fat-free mass
98% accuracy
compared to 4C model*
Total body water
98% accuracy
compared to D2O dilution*
Extracellular water
95% accuracy
compared to NaBr dilution*
* Valid for indiviudals aged 18 and over.
Using this elaborate validation, you can measure your patients with the precision of an MRI and the complexity of the 4C model!
Transparent, peer-reviewed publications
All validation studies and reference data collection studies have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Peer review means you can be sure of the high quality of our validation process!
Advancing Body Composition technology
Our studies have been performed by internationally recognized specialists from various fields who, together with seca, want to further develop BIA for medical use. Participating institutions include:
- University of Tokyo Hospital
- Institute of Human Nutrition and Food Science at the Christian-Albrecht University of Kiel
- Columbia University in NYC
- University Hospital Erlangen
- SALVADOR ZUBIRAN INSTITUTE in Mexico City
- Institute for Transfusion Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf
- Federico Gómez-Facultad de Medicina UNAM in Mexico City
Be part of a growing community that is using bioimpedance analysis to improve patient outcomes around the world!
Comprehensive reference data
The reference ranges of our BIA solutions are based on data from more than 3,500 test subjects of a variety of ethnicities.
This allows for scientifically sound assessments tailored to diverse patient populations.
Extended multi-ethnic validation
Our comprehensive validation studies ensure precise body composition results across different ages, ethnicities, and BMIs, including:
- Children and young people aged 5 and over
- Healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 65
- People aged 65 and over
- People of color
- People with obesity ≥BMI 30 kg/m²
Designed for precision
Our hardware sets new standards in terms of quality, features and user-friendliness. Fixed-grip electrodes enable optimal reproducibility of measurement conditions, while Bearclaw-Glass® ensures hygiene and is easy to clean for maximum patient safety. Height can be determined using ultrasound measurement directly on the platform.
