ATTACHABLE TO BODY DEVICE FOR BIOELECTRIC IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT AND DEVICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF BODY FAT WEIGHT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B5/53 A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical equipment, namely, to devices for measurement of body fat weight, and devices attachable for patient's body for measurement. The latter contains multitude of electrodes installed in contact with patient's body surface; support of electrodes for their support and long belt. Belt is wrapped around patient's body in connected state in order to connect electrode support to patient's body. Support contains fastening unit, which fastens one end of belt in such a way that it is immovable with respect to support, and holder for holding part of belt near another belt end in such a way that it is movable with respect to support in connected state. Holder contains connection unit, connected with possibility of detachment in any point of belt near its other end, and displacing unit for connection of connection unit and electrode support in connected state and displacement of connection unit and electrode support in direction of approach. Claimed device is used in device of measurement of body fat weight, which also contains unit of impedance measurement for measurement of patient's bioelectric impedance by means of multiple electrodes and unit of calculation of body fat weight for calculation of patient's body fat weight, basing on measured bioelectric impedance.

EFFECT: application of group of inventions increases accuracy of measurement of patient's body fat weight.
