Should I use the Body Segment if I wear a pacemaker?

No, you should not use the Body Segment if you wear a pacemaker or other internal medical device. The Body Segment circulates a small electrical signal in your body to perform some of its measurements (such as fat mass), which may interfere with a pacemaker or other medical device.

Note: If you already own the Body Segment and wish to keep it, you can use it as long as you disable impedance-based measurement capability. You can do so from the Withings App. 

Should I use the scale if I have a stent or metal implant?

Both stents and metallic medical implants (such as a titanium knee) can result in inaccurate body composition measurements. We recommend that you consult with your doctor before using the scale if you have a stent, intramedullary rod, or other metallic implant in your body, especially if it is located in the lower limbs.

Should I use my scale while I am pregnant?

The Body Segment has not been tested and/or validated for usage during pregnancy. Due to its updated technology related to the usage of limited electric currents and for precautionary purposes, we recommend that you disable impedance-based measurement capability. You can do so from the Withings App.

Disabling impedance-based features from the Withings App:

1.  Open the Withings App.
2. Tap Devices.
3. Tap Body Segment.
4. Deselect Impedance Technology. 

Note: When you deactivate the fat mass measurement, it is deactivated for all the users of all accounts that are linked to the scale.
