PEA POD
The world’s gold standard for non-invasive Infant Body Composition Assessment
OVERVIEW
The PEA POD is an Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system using whole body densitometry to determine body composition (fat and fat-free mass) in infants weighing between 1 and 8 kg.
The device is extremely simple to operate, with software prompts guiding the operator through each step of the process. From start to finish, a PEA POD test takes about 7 minutes.
The accuracy of the PEA POD has been shown to be very high against reference techniques in a number of research publications.

KEY FEATURES
Fast test time
The PEA POD is extremely simple to operate, with software prompts guiding the operator through each step of the process. A full test requires only about 7 minutes (2 minutes inside the PEA POD chamber).
Completely non-invasive
PEA POD’s air displacement plethysmography has eliminated the invasiveness of other body composition techniques, being suitable for frequent testing, longitudinal and qualitative growth assessment.
Safety compliance
PEA POD adopts the same safety criteria as an incubator: temperature controlled and spacious test chamber, continuous monitoring of CO2 levels, HEPA filter to protect against airborne disease transmission, and optional pulse oximeter.
Validated technology
PEA POD accommodates typical infant behaviors (crying, movement) while keeping the infant visible at all times, with validated accuracy in preterm and term infants weighing 1–8 kg.
Financially Sustainable & Reimbursement-Ready
Low operating costs, broad utilization in infants, and potential reduction of healthcare costs. New CPT code supports documentation, future reimbursement, and long-term clinical adoption.
OMNIA Software
The PEA POD 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 PEA POD accurately measures fat-free mass and fat mass to assess quality of growth and guide early, individualized nutrition interventions in NICU patients & identifies suboptimal growth.
