SOZO® (K203473)
No
The summary describes calculations based on bioimpedance measurements and standard algorithms (like Mifflin St. Jeor's for BMR), but does not mention any AI or ML techniques.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for measurement and monitoring purposes, not for treating or curing a disease or condition. While some measurements aid in clinical assessment (e.g., lymphedema, heart failure, malnutrition), the device itself does not provide therapy.
Yes
The device aids in the clinical assessment and monitoring of lymphedema and heart failure, and helps track clinically relevant body composition parameters, all of which are diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states the system consists of hardware components (hand and footplate with electrodes, Android tablet, load cells) in addition to the software.
Based on the provided information, the SOZO Pro is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used for "monitoring of patients with fluid management problems suffering from heart failure" and as an "aid to their clinical assessment of lymphedema." These are diagnostic purposes, providing information to aid in the diagnosis and management of medical conditions.
- Measurement of Physiological Parameters: The device measures bioimpedance and calculates various body composition parameters (fat mass, fat-free mass, total body water, etc.). These are physiological measurements used to assess a patient's health status.
- Use in Clinical Assessment: The device's outputs (L-Dex ratio, body composition parameters) are intended to be used by clinicians in their assessment of patients. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
While the device measures electrical properties of the body rather than analyzing a biological specimen in the traditional sense (like blood or urine), the regulatory definition of an IVD is broad and includes devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. In this case, the "specimen" can be considered the electrical properties of the body itself, which are being "examined" by the device to provide diagnostic information.
Therefore, the SOZO Pro fits the criteria of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The SOZO Pro is intended for adult patients living with heart failure.
This device is intended for use, under the direction of a physician, for the monitoring of patients with fluid management problems suffering from heart failure. Data from the device should be considered in conjunction with other clinical data.
The SOZO Pro may be used as an adjunct to existing methods by aiding clinicians who are using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA) tools to assess patients at risk of protein-calorie malnutrition (PCM).
The SOZO Pro may be further used to estimate the following body composition parameters in humans to track clinically relevant body composition parameters over time:
- Fat mass
- Fat-free mass
- Total body water
- Intracellular fluid
- Extracellular fluid
- Skeletal muscle mass
- The following outputs are also presented:
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Basal metabolic rate (BMR; based on Mifflin St. Jeor's algorithm) displayed in calories per day
- Protein and mineral (also known as 'dry lean mass') represents the content of a body that is not fat or fluid; calculated by subtracting total body water weight from fat-free mass weight.
The SOZO Pro device measures current (I), voltage (V) and phase angle (Phi), and from these values calculates resistance (R), reactance (Xc), and impedance (Z), which are used to estimate the above body composition parameters. The device' software will also display the Cole plot, subject height, weight, age and sex.

Device Description
The SOZO Pro system consists of a connected hand and footplate with built-in stainless-steel electrodes, paired with an Android tablet over Bluetooth connection. An app ("SOZOapp"), supplied with the tablet, controls the functionality of the hardware, and supplies the bioimpedance measurement data to a database ("MySOZO") managed on an external cloud- hosted database. Patient weight is measured with load cells located in the SOZO Pro foot unit or can be hand entered.
Bioimpedance measurements require the patient's weight to be measured by a scale embedded in the base of the system or for the weight of the patient to be entered manually. Following the collection of the patient weight, the patient contacts the SOZO Pro with their bare hands and feet on stainless steel electrodes. The impedance measurement takes about 30 seconds, during which the SOZO Pro® system applies small levels of electrical energy (200μA RMS) to the body across 256 frequencies spaced from 3kHz to 1000kHz and measures the resulting voltage levels.

Technological Characteristics
Bioimpedance spectroscopy is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. The subject and predicate devices are based on the following same fundamental technological elements:
ം Use of electrodes to take measurements; two channels are used to measure each side of the body.
o Delivery of very low levels of current (200µA RMS) across 256 frequencies logarithmically spaced from 3kHz to 1000kHz.
ം Measure patient weight, current (l), voltage (V) and phase angle (Ph) and calculates three bioimpedance parameters: impedance (Z), resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) to estimate extracellular fluid, intracellular fluid, and total body water.
ം Data is stored in and accessed from a cloud-based database (MySOZO) using a web browser interface. SOZO Pro is controlled through an Android app ("SOZOapp") on a supplied tablet, which is paired to the SOZO Pro hardware over Bluetooth connection and connects with the MySOZO database over Wi-Fi.
