Intended Use
The Scaleman Body Fat Scales - Models in "Family Model List 1A" is a series of body composition analyzers that measure body weight and impedance and estimate percentage of body fat and body water using BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis). They are intended for use by healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults with active, moderately active, to inactive lifestyles for body composition assessment in the home environment. The Scaleman Body Fat Scales - Models in "Family Model List 1B" is a series of body composition analyzers that measure body weight and impedance and estimate percentage of body fat and body water, bone mass and muscle mass using BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis). They are intended for use by healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults with active, moderately active, to inactive lifestyles for body composition assessment in the home environment.
Device Description
Body composition analyzer/scale that utilizes a “foot-to-foot” bioelectrical impedance (BIA) technology to determine internal body composition.

No
The summary describes a device using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is used for body composition assessment in healthy individuals and does not claim to treat, diagnose, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a "body composition analyzer" intended for "body composition assessment." While it provides measurements, it doesn't state that it diagnoses any medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Body composition analyzer/scale" that utilizes "foot-to-foot" bioelectrical impedance technology, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the Scaleman Body Fat Scales are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. This testing is performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Scaleman Device Function: The Scaleman Body Fat Scales measure body weight and impedance using BIA. This is a non-invasive method applied to the body (in vivo) to estimate body composition. It does not involve analyzing specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for body composition assessment in the home environment, which aligns with a general wellness or body monitoring device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

Therefore, the Scaleman Body Fat Scales fall outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

(a)
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.(b)
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.
