PEA POD

Overview

The PEA POD is an advanced Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system designed to measure body composition in infants weighing between 1 and 8 kg. Using whole-body densitometry, it accurately calculates fat mass and fat-free mass without any invasive procedures.

The system is user-friendly, featuring step-by-step software instructions that simplify the testing process. A complete assessment takes approximately 5 minutes, making it ideal for both clinical and research environments.

PEA POD has been extensively validated through scientific studies, demonstrating exceptional accuracy when compared with established reference methods.

PEA POD is a certified medical device.

Key Features

Quick and Efficient Testing

PEA POD completes a full body composition assessment in around 5 minutes, with the infant spending only about 2 minutes inside the chamber. The guided software ensures a smooth and simple testing experience.

100% Non-Invasive Technology

Using air displacement technology instead of radiation or needles, PEA POD provides a safe and comfortable method for measuring infant body composition. This makes it suitable for repeated assessments to monitor growth over time.

Built with Advanced Safety Standards

Designed to meet safety standards similar to neonatal incubators, the system includes temperature regulation, continuous airflow, CO₂ monitoring, HEPA air filtration, and multiple emergency safety features to ensure infant protection throughout the test.

Purpose-Built for Infants

PEA POD is specially engineered for babies weighing 1–8 kg. The transparent chamber allows caregivers and clinicians to maintain visual contact throughout the assessment, while the system accommodates normal infant movements.

Scientifically Proven Accuracy

Its measurement technology has been validated in numerous clinical studies involving both preterm and full-term infants, providing highly reliable body composition results trusted by healthcare professionals worldwide.

Low Maintenance and Long-Term Reliability

Built for continuous clinical use, PEA POD offers durable performance with minimal maintenance requirements. An integrated self-diagnostic system continuously monitors equipment performance and assists service teams in maintaining optimal operation.
