Body composition analysis describes what the body is made of, differentiating between body water, protein minerals, and fat to provide more precise information beyond weight and BMI. Body composition components are strongly related to different health outcomes, and regular measurement is becoming increasingly valuable in medical practice.
The MA801 Professional Body Composition Analyzer provides many relevant measurement values and data that can be used by medical professionals track patient progress, and providing important indicators that may aid in diagnostics and screening. Boasting multiple measurement frequencies and sophisticated algorithms, Charder stands by our devices with clinical trials and over ten years of original peer-reviewed scientific research, for results you can trust.

Product Overview
Q: Is the MA801 suitable for medical or clinical use?
Yes. The MA801 is Charders most advanced hospital/medical-grade segmental BIA scale. Key features include:
- Segmental body composition analysis
- 5 Frequencies
- High weight capacity (660 lb / 300 kg)
- Clinical-grade accuracy
- Portable design suitable for office use
- Integration with desktop analysis software
- Visceral Fat Area: Visceral Fat is highly correlated with risk of obesity-related diseases. The MA801 provides this assessment with greater precision compared to MA601's Visceral Fat Level.
- Subcutaneous Fat Area: For those tracking body fat for primarily aesthetic purposes, Subcutaneous Fat Area is a useful
- Edema Index: Extracellular Water exceeding 39% of Total Body Water can be a sign of Edema, and is a crucial indicator for potential health risks in medical settings.
- Phase Angle Percentiles: Phase Angle is an important health indicator, with abundant research indicating that a lower Phase Angle has significant correlation with poor health outcomes. As there is no universal definition of "high" and "low", comparing Phase Angle results with standard distribution for the subject's age group is important context!
- Body Fat Percentage Percentiles: The definition of a "normal" body fat percentage can vary significantly based on age, gender, and ethnicity. Placing results in context is important for a more objective evaluation, particularly for older subjects.
- Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis: direct measurement of cellular hydration status and strength is crucial in particular for subjects with abnormal body water balance, or those requiring more intensive monitoring of health status (such as dialysis patients).
- The MA801 provides several anthropometric estimations (circumference of arms and waist) thate are of interest for further study of bioelectrical impedance analysis, as the closer estimations can get to calculating physical size, the more accurate overall results can become. These anthropometric results specifically are primarily of use for research purposes.
Included Accessories
Q: What is included with the MA801 purchase?
Included items:
- Charder Insight desktop software (free)
- One package of color printed result sheets (approximately 100 sheets)
- PDF result sheet templates available for download

Software & Computer Requirements
Q: What are the system requirements for the Charder Insight software?
Minimum requirements:
- Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit) or Windows 11 (64-bit)
- Hard Drive: Minimum 1GB free space
- Memory: Minimum 1GB RAM
- Screen Resolution: Minimum 1280 × 720
- Permissions: Administrator access required for installation
Installation:
The software can simply be downloaded to a desktop computer and used immediately.
If integration with a larger network or IT system is required, this would typically be handled by your IT team. Charder can provide technical details if needed.
Certifications & Regulatory Status
Q: Is the MA801 FDA cleared?
Yes. The MA801 is registered as an FDA Class II medical device.
FDA listing:

Charder also indicates additional international certifications (such as CE compliance). Documentation is available upon request.
Payment Options
Q: Do you offer financing or installment plans?
We can offer a 3rd party after pay service such as Paypal or Shop Pay; interest charges will apply from the lender.
Connectivity & Software Fees
Q: Does the machine connect wirelessly?
The MA801 does include Wi-Fi capability; however, the Wi-Fi function only provides network connectivity. To actually transmit data over Wi-Fi, the device must be integrated with a dedicated API web service, which typically requires setup by an IT specialist.
Because of this, most clinics instead use the USB connection with the Charder Insight software, which is simple to install and works immediately without additional network configuration.
Here is a summary of how the data can be shared or transmitted.
Q: Are there any monthly charges for use of the software?
No. There are no monthly charges for use of the Charder Insight software.
Body Composition Analysis
Muscle-Fat Analysis
Obesity Analysis
Total & Segmental Analysis
Bioelectrical Vector Impedance Analysis (BIVA)
Reliable, non-invasive Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis makes it easier to conduct regular monitoring of Body Composition. The calculated estimated weights of the body's compositional elements can be compared with standard results for context.
Measurement of weight is important, but incomplete without further analyzing the amount of muscle and fat in a client. Understanding skeletal muscle and body fat proportions can help trainers formulate muscle and fat control recommendations.
Different body fat indicators provide valuable information needed for a more useful evaluation of health. Percent Body Fat is a general indicator, while Waist-Hip Ratio and Visceral Fat are used as critical cut-off points for risk of obesity-related diseases which may not be immediately visible from the outside.
Measure muscle and fat more precisely with segmental analysis of the trunk, upper body, and lower body. Identify imbalances, and determine if segmental muscle is within normal range, tracking changes to better observe the effects of rehabilitation or training.
Bioelectrical Vector Impedance Analysis (BIVA) uses direct measurements of reactance and resistance, allowing it to provide reliable comparisons and evaluations of cellular hydration and nutritional status - even for individuals with abnormal hydration - making it easier for trainers to recommend detailed health checks if needed, helping to keep clients safe.

Research Information
Phase angle decreases with illness and old age, making it an important indicator of health, and an absolute necessity for a professional body composition evaluation. Compare phase angle with respective gender and age, placing results into context.
Track changes in quality, not just quantity! In elderly populations, muscle strength can decline much more rapidly than muscle mass. By evaluating muscle effectiveness through cellular estimation of grip strength health, professionals now have a more useful indicator that may provide early warning for fall risk.
Compare body fat percentages with similar population, placing results in context of age, gender, and ethnicity. What's "normal" for a 20-year old doesn't necessarily apply to an 80-year old, and this module helps the subject better understand comparative results.
Identify abnormalities in intracellular/extracellular fluid proportion, using the edema index as an indicator and warning sign for diseases affecting body fluid balance, including impaired heart and function.
The MA801 provides a wide variety of body composition output parameters of particular relevance for research, and includes various indexes used as early warning signs for malnutrition, obesity, and sarcopenia.
