The BOD POD is the world’s only Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system using whole body densitometric principles to determine body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass) in adults and children.
The combination of accuracy, safety and speed has resulted in the BOD POD now being recognized as the practical Gold Standard for body composition assessment from a long list of universities and research centers.
The BOD POD is ideal for assessing the body composition of special populations such as: elderly persons, people with disabilities, subjects weighing up to 250 kg, young children from 2 to 6 years with the Pediatric Option™.
The PEA POD is an Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system using whole body densitometry to determine body composition (fat and fat-free mass) in infants weighing between 1 and 8 kg.
The device is extremely simple to operate, with software prompts guiding the operator through each step of the process. From start to finish, a PEA POD test takes about 7 minutes.
The accuracy of the PEA POD has been shown to be very high against reference techniques in a number of research publications.
