BFI Measure concept
Most of Esthetic salon are still using Weight meter and measure.

But these devices can’t judge correct body composition.
BFI-Measure can show you the balance for FAT and Muscle in body.
The purpose is not diagnosis. Our purpose is to measure body composition (FAT amount & muscle amount).

BFI is called stethoscope for estheticians all over the world.

BFI is meaning that it is BODY FAT Index.
The meaning is accurate whole body FAT % and index for parts of Body.
■SEIKOSHA patent from 1991 years

BFI can be calculated body fat percentage by the thickness of fat andmuscle plus weight and height and specific data defined . They havea correlation coefficient more than 91% with underwater weighing
method density. BFI index show whole body( FAT % and BMI) andpart of body.

■FAT and Muscle Thickness ≧98%

BFI(ultrasound) vs vernier caliper■FAT % ≧91%
BFI vs underwater weighing method

The purpose of BFI ultrasound is to measure thicknessof subcutaneous fat and Muscle for whole body byUltrasound. It's equally to height meter and Weight
meter. so BFI isn’t medical device in Japan because
the purpose are not diagnoses.
