Seca MBCA 554 Medical Body Composition Analyzer

The new seca mBCA 554 is the result of our long-term cooperation with medical experts and research in the field of
body composition. In addition to outstanding precision and accuracy, you receive an completely user-friendly and
practical BIA solution with an optional ultrasound length measurement and brilliant cloud-based software with the
seca mBCA 554.

The graphic presentation of measurement results established in cooperation with medical professionals gives you
valuable support for diagnosis and therapy. Within seconds, you’ll receive a complete body composition image plus
the option of having specific questions answered thanks to a detailed analysis.

Thanks to the new cloud-based software delivery, all administrative IT issues are taken care of for you. It ensures
you can concentrate fully on your medical work.

• Quick and clear graphics with normal ranges
• Normal ranges can be defined individually as needed
• Professionally prepared templates for the most important fields of application
• Customizable printout including notes and explanations for patients
• Trend analysis allows progress to be tracked in support of patient motivation and engagement
• Software suitable for all common devices (whether tablet or laptop)

Bioimpedance analysis trusted by the medical profession

• Unique accuracy by validation from whole-body MRI (skeletal muscle mass) and 4C model (fat mass)
• Validation studies are completely and transparently published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, among
  others (1,2)
• Validated for individuals affected by obesity (starting at a BMI of 30 kg/m²) (3)
• Comprehensive, personalized normal ranges based on over 3,000 multiethnic subjects (4)
