Tanita model launched in black colourway

To attract and retain members in 2022, focus on health
– Simon Wilkinson

TANITA, a global leader in body composition technology, has released its flagship MC-980U Plus model in a new and sleek, all-black colourway. This modern upgrade delivers the same high performance of its original machine – now with a premium aesthetic to match.

The MC-980U Plus is a professional-grade, multi-frequency, segmental body composition analyser designed for high-throughput environments such as elite fitness centres, medical facilities and research institutions. It’s FDA-cleared and designed for both clinical and fitness use, with an expandable memory that can manage up to 300,000 users.

The machine offers six-frequency segmental BIA provides precise measurements of body fat percentage, muscle mass, visceral fat, total body water, intracellular and extracellular water, bone mass, and metabolic rate, with results broken down by individual body segments, including arms, legs, and torso.

It features an intuitive 8.4-inch colour touchscreen, rapid full-body scan in under 60 seconds and multi-user data management.

Tanita CEO, Senri Tanida, says: “As the developer of the world’s first stand-on body fat scale and a pioneer of BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) technology, TANITA has been setting the standard for precision health monitoring for over 75 years – leading the way in innovation, reliability, and clinical accuracy.”
