The PEA POD is an air displacement plethysmography system that uses whole body densitometry to determine body composition in babies weighing between 1 and 8 kg. The PEA POD is extremely simple to operate, with software instructions guiding the operator through each step of the process. A complete PEA POD test takes around 7 minutes.

The PEA POD uses densitometric principles to determine body composition (fat mass and fat-free mass) in babies weighing between 1 and 8 kg, guaranteeing high accuracy and excellent reproducibility.

The PEA POD is a complete device, with all the hardware and software needed to conduct an accurate body composition test, including a computer, trolley, integrated digital scale (for measuring body mass), and calibration weights. It is extremely simple to operate, with instructions that guide the operator through each step of the process. A complete test takes just 7 minutes.

PEA POD uses a non-invasive method and is therefore suitable for longitudinal and frequent tracking of body composition over time. It adopts the same safety criteria as an incubator: constant temperature, ventilation, integrated CO2 sensors, HEPA filter to protect against airborne diseases and emergency stop. The child is clearly visible throughout the test period through the unit’s clear window.

  • Quick test: Simple process with guided instructions. The complete test takes about 7 minutes, with 2 minutes inside the chamber.
  • Completely non-invasive: Air displacement plethysmography allows frequent, longitudinal scanning without invasive procedures.
  • Safety compliance: Includes constant temperature, ventilation, CO2 sensors, HEPA filter, and emergency button, adopting safety criteria like an incubator.
  • Designed for babies: Accommodates behaviors like crying and movement, with the baby always visible through the unit’s window.
  • Validated technology: High accuracy proven in studies with babies weighing 1 to 8 kg, including premature and full-term babies.

  • Measurements taken: Body weight, body volume, body density, fat mass (kg e %), fat-free mass (kg e %), thoracic gas volume.
  • Digital scale: High precision, supports up to 10 kg with an accuracy of ±2 g, calibrated with 2 kg weights.
  • Plethysmography: Measures volumes by air displacement, with a 36L chamber and accuracy of ±6 ml; automatic calibration with internal volume.
  • Equipment dimensions and weight: 156,2 x 79,8 x 122,4 cm (L x W x H); weight of 300 kg.
  • Power supply: 100-240 V ±10%, 50/60 Hz.
  • Operating system compatibility: Windows 10 (64 bits); Minimum requirements include Windows XP Pro (32 bits) or Windows 7 (32 bits).
