Intended Use
The Beaverite Body Fat Scales -- Models 8921, 8925, 8931, 8935 and 9576 -- measure body weight and impedance, and estimate percentages of body fat and total body water. They are intended for use by healthy adults. The Beaverite Body Fat Scales -- Models 8919, 8923, 8929, 9580, 9583, and 9588 -- measure body weight and impedance, and estimate percentages of body fat, total body water, and total muscle mass. They are intended for use by healthy adults.
Device Story
Beaverite Body Fat Scales are bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) devices used to estimate body composition. The device functions as a scale; user stands on electrodes to complete a circuit. Input: electrical impedance measured via foot-to-foot contact; body weight. Transformation: BIA technology processes impedance and weight data to calculate body fat, water, and muscle mass percentages. Output: digital display of weight and estimated body composition metrics. Used in home environment by healthy adults. Output provides users with body composition data for personal health monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) plethysmograph. Operating frequencies: 20 kHz or 54 kHz. Electrodes: 2 or 4. Power: 9V or 3V batteries. Form factor: scale. Connectivity: standalone.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthy adults for the measurement of body weight and impedance, and the estimation of body fat, total body water, and (for specific models) total muscle mass.
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.

Dear Ms. Trisler:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a logo with the text "FDA Centennial 1906-2006" in a circular design. Below the logo, there is some text that reads "noting Public Health". The text is written in a decorative font. The image appears to be a scan of a document.

Page 2 -
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
| 21 CFR 876.xxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-0115 |
|----------------|----------------------------------|--------------|
| 21 CFR 884.xxx | (Obstetrics/Gynecology) | 240-276-0115 |
| 21 CFR 894.xxx | (Radiology) | 240-276-0120 |
| Other | | 240-276-0100 |
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150
