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 icon

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 icon

Completely non-invasive

PEA POD’s air displacement plethysmography has eliminated the invasiveness of other body composition techniques, being suitable for frequent, longitudinal tracking of changes over time.

Safety compliance icon

Safety compliance

PEA POD adopts the same safety criteria of an incubator: constant temperature, ventilation, CO2 sensors in the chamber, HEPA filter to protect against airborne disease transmission, redundant emergency stop.

Designed for infants icon

Designed for infants

The PEA POD test accomodates most infant behaviors (crying, movement, etc.) with the infant clearly visible at all time through the unit window.

Validated technology icon

Validated technology

The accuracy of the PEA POD has proven to be very high against reference techniques in a number of research publications. The technology is validated either on pre-term and term infants (1 to 8 kg ).

Low running costs and easy maintenance icon

Low running costs and
easy maintenance

The PEA POD is designed for durability over time. Each PEA POD has an internal diagnostic test function to analyze system performance and provide feedback to service personnel.

PRODUCT INSIGHT

The PEA POD enables a better understanding of fetal programming, the assessment of efficacy of nutritional therapies, and the development of normative body composition data among other applications.
