Questions about RJL Systems' Analyzers

  • How will I know if my RJL analyzer is operating correctly (calibrated)?

    A 500-ohm resistor is included with all the RJL analyzers. This resistor allows you to check the calibration of the analyzer. For an explanation on how to test the calibration of your unit, please refer to page 6 of this manual.

  • Is there any chance of electrical shock while operating the RJL analyzers?

    No, all of the RJL analyzers are designed with isolation transformers that prevent any harmful current from being exposed to the subject while being tested.

  • Will climate affect the BIA test?

    Yes, but only when climate changes are extreme.

  • Is the RJL equipment FDA approved?

    The Food and Drug Administration regulates all BIA devices as class II medical devices. Manufacturers must receive clearance from the FDA to market a class-II device. Please visit the FDA website for more information on RJL registration and clearances. http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPMN/pmn.cfm (Search for RJL Systems under Applicant Name or Owner Name.)

  • What is the life expectancy of an RJL analyzer?

    It is many years, so long as you take care of your analyzer. RJL still has many of their customers (from as far back as 1980) using their originally purchased analyzers. However, with any type of equipment, the age of the instrument may affect reliability. As a result of continual use, parts may wear out and need replacement.

  • Are the RJL analyzers very difficult to operate?

    No, anyone can operate the RJL analyzers. It is helpful, however, to read the supplied manual first.
