Ask your client to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds
Immediately before testing, encourage all of your clients to wash their hands with warm, soapy water for more than 20 seconds. If your facility doesn’t have a restroom, place a hand sanitizer station next to your InBody. Make sure their hands are dry before they move onto the next step.
Ask your client to wipe their palms and soles with InBody TissueÂ
After your clients wash their hands, instruct them to wipe their palms and soles with InBody Tissue to clean dirt, debris, and sweat and increase electrical conductivity for testing.
Opt for a contact-free experience with InBody Voice Guidance
While your client tests on the device, the InBody’s voice guidance and on-screen instructions will help guide them through the testing procedure, allowing you to maintain social distancing requirements.
Chose to provide your client with a digital result sheet
After the test, you may choose to forgo the standard Result Sheet printout and provide a paperless option through LookinBody Web, our cloud database management software, which allows you to send your clients’ test information to them via the free InBody app.
You can also use the InBody app to provide feedback and schedule a follow-up test.Â

Develop and Maintain a Disinfecting Procedure
We recommend that you disinfect your InBody device after every test. It is important to note that there is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting your equipment.
Cleaning removes dirt, germs, and impurities from surfaces or objects. When you clean, you physically remove germs from surfaces using soap (or detergent) and water. This process does not necessarily kill germs, but by removing them, it reduces their numbers and the risk of spreading infection.
Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects using chemicals. This process does not clean dirty surfaces but kills germs on a surface after cleaning. Disinfecting can further reduce the risk of spreading infection.
To avoid damaging your device, do not clean it with soap and water; instead, you must disinfect it. To keep your InBody free of dirt and impurities, ask your clients to clean their hands and feet before they test.
Disinfect your device properly
To adequately disinfect your device, we recommend that you wear disposable gloves and use 70% (or above) Isopropyl Alcohol Wipes to disinfect the InBody while paying special attention to the hand electrodes, footplate, screen, and any other parts of the device that are frequently touched.
To prevent damage to the device:
- Do not spray or pour liquids directly on your InBody device
- Do not immerse any part of the InBody device in liquid
- Do not use cleaning agents composed of quaternary ammonium compounds such as benzalkonium/benzalkonium chloride, which may cause discoloration and corrosion.
