Intended Use
The BOD POD® is indicated for measuring the body mass and estimating the body composition (i.e. percent and absolute amounts of fat and lean body mass) of generally healthy individuals. The BOD POD is also indicated for estimating Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) in generally healthy individuals aged 18 years or older.
Device Description
The Sonamet Body Composition System is designed to measure the mass and estimate the body composition of individuals. Once an individual's body composition has been determined, the BOD POD is able to accurately estimate Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and total Energy Expenditure (TEE). The BOD POD estimates body composition using a densiometric approach (i.e. by determining the density of the entire body). A weighing apparatus is used to measure the subject's mass. Air displacement plethysmography is used to measure the subject's volume. Using this data, the subject's density is calculated. The subject's body composition is then estimated using several algorithms derived from scientific research. An individual's RMR and TEE can also be estimated accurately using values for Fat Mass and Fat Free Mass. Scientifically derived algorithms utilize the Fat Mass and Fat Free mass values determined by the BOD POD to calculate RMR and TEE.

The device measures body composition and energy expenditure but does not treat any condition.

No
The device is used for measuring body mass and estimating body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR), and total energy expenditure (TEE) in generally healthy individuals. It is not indicated for diagnosing any disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "weighing apparatus" and "air displacement plethysmography," which are hardware components used to measure mass and volume, respectively. The software component processes this data, but the device is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • BOD POD Function: The BOD POD measures body mass and estimates body composition, RMR, and TEE by directly interacting with the human body (air displacement plethysmography and weighing). It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

Therefore, the BOD POD falls outside the scope of an IVD device.

IDENTIFICATION OF PREDICATE DEVICES

The Sonamet Body Composition System is substantially equivalent to the following devices, which have received FDA clearance:

The technological characteristics of the Sonamet Body Composition System have not been changed. The method of calculating RMR using values of Fat Free Mass is similar to the methods used by the TANITA Model BC-418 unit to calculate Basal Metabolic Rate.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Sonamet Body Composition System is designed to measure the mass and estimate the body composition of individuals. Once an individual's body composition has been determined, the BOD POD is able to accurately estimate Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and total Energy Expenditure (TEE).

The BOD POD estimates body composition using a densiometric approach (i.e. by determining the density of the entire body). A weighing apparatus is used to measure the subject's mass. Air displacement plethysmography is used to measure the subject's volume. Using this data, the subject's density is calculated. The subject's body composition is then estimated using several algorithms derived from scientific research.

An individual's RMR and TEE can also be estimated accurately using values for Fat Mass and Fat Free Mass. Scientifically derived algorithms utilize the Fat Mass and Fat Free mass values determined by the BOD POD to calculate RMR and TEE.

INTENDED USE

The BOD POD® is indicated for measuring the body mass and estimating the body composition (i.e. percent and absolute amounts of fat and lean body mass) of generally healthy individuals. The BOD POD is also indicated for estimating Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) in generally healthy individuals aged 18 years or older.

CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM STUDIES

The results of verification testing demonstrate that the RMR and TEE results generated by the BOD POD Body Composition Analyzer are accurate when compared with expected results based on published scientific research, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Test results indicate that the device satisfies functional performance requirements safely and accurately when used as indicated.
