Device Description
The TANITA Body Fat Monitor/Scales (multiple models) are designed to determine body weight and body fat composition. Each model will offer a range of features. The system consists of two subdivided stainless steel footpad electrodes mounted on a platform scale. The four-foot electrodes are designed where each foot makes contact with a heel and toe electrode. Impedance of the lower extremities and body weight is measured simultaneously while the subject stands on the scale.

No
The description relies on Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and a previously approved methodology, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No
The device is a body composition analyzer that measures body weight and estimates body fat, not a device intended to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No.
The device measures body weight and body composition parameters like body fat percentage, BMI, and basal metabolic rate. While these measurements provide health-related information, they do not diagnose a disease or condition, but rather provide data points for general health assessment.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a platform scale with electrodes, which are hardware components used to measure body weight and impedance.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure body weight and estimate body composition parameters like body fat percent, BMI, fat mass, etc., using BIA. This is a measurement of physical characteristics of the body, not an analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The device measures impedance and body weight by having the user stand on a scale with footpad electrodes. This is a physical measurement, not an in vitro test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device measures physical attributes of the body directly.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Side by side comparisons of the TANITA Body Fat Analyzer TBF/ BF/ Ultimate Scale to the predicate device Body Fat Analyzer Model TBF-105 clearly demonstrate that the applicant device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device.

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 Body Fat Analyzer(s) TBF/BF/Ultimate Scales perform as well as the predicate device and therefore have proven its safety and efficacy.

Dear Ms. Alloian:

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. Iisting 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 (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

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 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:
