## Indications for Use

The Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale SF-371 measures body weight, and estimates body fat, body water, body muscle mass and body bone mass using BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis). The device is intended to be used by generally healthy people (from age 16 to age 80) who are not ill, feverish, have a chronic or acute disease, or a condition that affects the level of hydration such as pregnancy.

## Device Story

Body Fat Scale SF-371 uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to estimate body composition. User inputs age, height, and gender; stands barefoot on four scale electrodes. Device applies 500 µA, 50 kHz current through body; measures impedance. Internal software calculates body fat, water, muscle, and bone mass based on impedance, weight, and user-provided variables. Used by consumers in home settings. Output displayed on scale screen. Helps users monitor body composition metrics.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical testing was conducted to validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the device. All test results were satisfactory.

## Technological Characteristics

Impedance plethysmograph; four-electrode sensing; 500 µA, 50 kHz current source; BIA measurement principle; internal software-based calculation; weight and impedance inputs; EN/IEC 60601-1 compliant.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Tanita BC-533 ([K040778](/device/K040778.md))

# 5. Description :

- 5.1 General
The patient steps on the scale device, where four electrodes are located. The patient must step on the electrodes with bare feet, with normal moisture. Through harmless current stimulation of 500 µA, at 50 kHz, the Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale calculates the body fat percentage. This calculation is done via the Bioelectrical Impedance Method. The current is passed through the body and the impedance of the body determines the body fat. The calculation is based upon electrical impedance, height, weight, age, and gender. The calculation is performed via internal software, which uses the variables programmed in by the user. There are elements of this process that can produce erroneous readings, such as dry feet or improper-programmed data. The User's Manual defines items which could cause erroneous readings.

## 5.2 Direction

As discussed in the General description, the Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale is relatively simple to use. The user inputs the variable data of age, height, and gender. The user steps onto the scale and the devices measures the user weight and body impedance (via the Bioelectric Impedance through the four electrodes on the scale). The scale displays the user's body fat composition. Upon the user's selection, the device can also display the user's weight.

6. Indication for use :

The Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale SF-371 measures body weight, and estimates body fat, body water, body muscle mass and body bone mass using BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis). The device is intended to be used by generally healthy people (from age 16 to age 80) who are not ill, feverish, have a chronic or acute disease, or a condition that affects the level of hydration such as pregnancy.

- 7. Comparison with predicate device :
Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. believes that the Shenzhen Belter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale is substantially equivalent to the Tanita BC-533 (K040778).

- 8. Safety and Performance Data :
Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to standard EN/IEC 60601-1. Clinical testing was used to validate the effectiveness and accuracy of the device. All test results were satisfactory.

- 9. Conclusions:
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification TH Leaguer. Inc. concludes that The Shenzhen Beiter Health Measurement and Analysis Technology Co., Ltd. Body Fat Scale is safe and effective and substantially equivalent to predicate devices as described herein.
