Apparatus for Calculating a Parameter of a Skin Surface Area
First Claim
1. Autonomous mobile apparatus (1) for measuring and analyzing at least one parameter representing the fat of a skin surface area, comprising:
- At least one probe (10) comprising at least two electrode pairs intended to come into contact with the skin surface area defining a first pair of injecting electrodes (11, 12) and a second pair of receiving electrodes (13, 14) for measuring the response to the injection;
A power source (5) for producing in the first pair of injecting electrodes (11, 12), a variable electrical signal with a variable current intensity (i) within the range of 60 μ
A to 4000 μ
A and with a frequency within the range of 1 kHz to 1000 kHz;
A data control processing unit (CPU) for determining the information related to the bio-impedance (Z) of said area, with said at least one parameter representing the fat in the skin surface area.
