Tanita is a pioneer in the development of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), an extremely reliable method for body composition analysis. More than a simple weight or body fat % provided by ordinary scales or calipers, Tanita's body composition analyzers provide detailed body composition analysis - weight, impedance, body fat %, body mass index, fat mass, fat-free mas and more, all without the inconvenience of more intrusive traditional measurement methods.

All Tanita monitors have undergone a stringent review by the FDA to ensure that our customers receive the highest quality, and most accurate, products on the market.

The addition of hand grips to their standard platform-based electrode system allows the BC-418 to calculate regional body composition, empowering healthcare professionals to better determine health risk associated with visceral and abdominal fat.
