BOD POD GS-X

The world’s gold standard for fast, accurate and safe body composition assessment

OVERVIEW

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, pregnant Indivisuals, young children from 2 to 6 years with the Pediatric Option™.

  • BOD POD is a medical device.

KEY FEATURES

Gold Standard accuracy icon

Gold Standard accuracy

The ADP technology uses whole body densitometric principles to determine body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass) guaranteeing high accuracy and excellent test-retest repeatability.

Safe and non-invasive icon

Safe and non-invasive

The BOD POD’s Air Displacement Plethysmography has eliminated the invasiveness of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) as well as the difficulties associated with underwater submersion in hydrostatic weighing.

Quick test time icon

Quick test time

The BOD POD’s efficient automatic calibration system, the easy subject maneuvers and the user-friendly software interface allow for a complete test to be accomplished in less than 5 minutes.

Sport specific references icon

Sport specific references

Exclusive database of body composition references is provided for adults, the elderly (up to 90 years old), and athletes (over 40 sports and roles/positions).

Durable icon

Durable

The BOD POD is designed for durability over time. An internal diagnostic function analyzes system performance and provides feedback to service personnel.

Omnia Software icon

Omnia Software

The BODPOD includes OMNIA, COSMED’s modular software suite, featuring an intuitive interface and guided workflows that reduce training time and simplify daily operation.

PRODUCT INSIGHT

The BOD POD’s ability to test virtually all populations makes it the most flexible option for frequent testing and longitudinal tracking of body composition changes over time.
