Description: Futrex Connect software allows body weight measurements to be taken through a computer using Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity from the FUTREX-6100 body composition analyzer. The software allows one-time measurements to be taken, where the patient information will not be stored. These results can be emailed, saved, or printed in a detailed two page printout.

The data is stored on the user`s local hard drive in an encrypted format. The software encrypts and decrypts data, and only the current user`s data is present in random-access memory (RAM), and only during an actual reading. Once the results have been displayed, the data is encrypted and saved back to the hard drive. All data processing is handled in the Futrex software through proprietary routines.

Please note that there is no specific product page for this technology and thus the vendor webpage is used in its place.
