The Bodyport Cardiac Scale is intended for use, under the direction of a physician, for the non-invasive monitoring and management of patients with fluid management related health conditions. The device is intended to be used to measure and track body weight, peripheral impedance, pulse rate, and center of pressure. The device is intended to be used in the home or clinic environment.
Device Story
Bodyport Cardiac Scale is a non-invasive cardiovascular monitor and weight scale; measures body weight, peripheral impedance, pulse rate, and center of pressure. User stands barefoot on platform; four electrodes apply safe current (<500uA) at 8kHz and 64kHz to measure foot-to-foot impedance; load cells measure weight and center of pressure. Device provides haptic feedback upon completion; displays results on integrated LED screen. Data automatically transmitted via cellular (LTE-M) to Bodyport cloud for clinician access via web browser, dashboard, or API. Used in home or clinic; operated by patient. No real-time alarms generated. Clinicians use longitudinal data to monitor fluid status and manage patients with fluid-related conditions; supports clinical decision-making by providing objective metrics alongside other clinical data.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical testing validated pulse rate accuracy against single-lead ECG reference in adult subjects. Peripheral impedance clinical utility demonstrated in heart failure patients vs. healthy controls. Correlation established between hand-to-foot and foot-to-foot impedance measurements. No specific sensitivity/specificity metrics provided in summary.
Technological Characteristics
Platform-based scale with four dry electrodes and four load cells. Powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries. Impedance sensing via <500uA current at 8kHz and 64kHz. Connectivity: Cellular (LTE-M). Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1:2018. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1:2005, IEC 60601-1-11:2015, and IEC 60601-1-2:2014. Software lifecycle per IEC 62304:2006+A1:2015.

# Device Description:
The Bodyport Cardiac Scale is a non-invasive cardiovascular monitor and body weight scale that measures body weight, peripheral impedance, pulse rate, and center of pressure through the feet of a user standing on its surface. The device is powered by four (4) AA alkaline batteries.
The device is comprised of a physical platform on which the user stands with bare feet. Four electrodes located on the top surface of the platform are used to measure of the user's lower body (foot-to-foot). The impedance signal is obtained by applying a small, safe battery-generated current (<500uA) between the feet of the user and measuring the resulting electrical potential. The impedance signal reflects the electrical resistance of the lower body and is modulated by changes in fluid levels and blood flow in the lower part of the body, enabling the calculation of parameters such as pulse rate and
{4}------------------------------------------------
peripheral impedance. The impedance signal is captured at two frequencies (8kHz) to enable the calculation of peripheral impedance values that reflect intra- and extra-cellular fluid levels. The 64kHz signal is used to calculate impedance magnitude and phase angle to measure pulse rate.
Additionally, load cells in each of the four corners of the device measure the static and dynamic loads being applied to the device by the user's body. The load cells are used to measure the user's body weight and center of pressure. The device may show body weight, peripheral impedance, and pulse rate information on a display integrated into the platform.
A user is instructed to stand on the Bodyport Cardiac Scale with bare feet. The measurement starts automatically when the user steps on the scale. The device acquires the data and notifies the user that the measurement is complete through a gentle haptic vibration and displays the results on the device screen. Data collected by the Bodyport Cardiac Scale is automatically transmitted via cellular communication to the Bodyport cloud where it can be accessed through a supported web-based browser, dashboard or API.
#### Intended Use/ Indications for Use:
The Bodyport Cardiac Scale has the same intended use as the predicate device; it raises neither new nor different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
