Intended Use

Intended to be used as a body fat analyzer that determines body weight and estimates body fat and total body water with the use of BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis).

Device Story

Device is a computer-operated body composition analyzer/scale; utilizes foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure body weight and impedance. Input: electrical impedance signal via foot electrodes. Processing: proprietary algorithm estimates body fat and total body water percentages. Output: digital display of weight, body fat %, and body water %. Used in home or clinical settings; operated by patient or clinician. Provides body composition data to assist in health monitoring and weight management. Benefits patient by providing non-invasive, accessible body composition metrics.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation of the new total body water algorithm performed using in-house BIA methodology compared against DEXA and Deuterium Dilution reference methods.

Technological Characteristics

Foot-to-foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology. Computer-operated scale form factor. Standalone device. Proprietary algorithm for body composition estimation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for healthy children (7-17 years) and healthy adults to measure body weight and impedance, and estimate body fat and body water percentages using BIA.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An impedance plethysmograph is a device used to estimate peripheral blood flow by measuring electrical impedance changes in a region of the body such as the arms and legs.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a body composition analyzer which is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical condition, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

No new tests were performed apart from the validation of the new total body water algorithm. Based on the results of using the previously approved "Foot-to-Foot" BIA methodology with our patented in-house BIA, it was concluded that the TANITA Scale plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water Percentage performs as well as the predicate devices.
