An apparatus for analyzing body composition based on biolectrical impedance analysis, and a method therefor are disclosed. The method for analyzing body composition includes the step of providing eight electrodes E1-E8 for being contacted to a right palm, a right thumb a left palm, a left thumb, a right , front sole a right rear sole, a left front sole and a left rear sole. A switch (10) is selected by a command of a micro-processor (14) so as to form a current path. A current is made to flow through said selected electrodes and through a human body to an impedance measuring instrument (11). A switch (10) is selected by a command of said micro-processor (14) so as to form voltage …

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 19, 1996 and granted August 22, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 19, 2016.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 19, 2018.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
