## Indications for Use

The Rowenta Bodypartner VISION/SCALE is intended to measure weight and body impedance which are used to calculate an estimated value for fat mass and lean mass.

## Device Story

The Rowenta Bodypartner VISION (Model BM 210) is an impedance plethysmograph designed for home use. It measures body weight and electrical impedance; these inputs are processed to calculate estimated fat mass and lean mass. The device provides these measurements to the user for personal health monitoring. It functions as a scale, requiring the user to stand on the device to complete the circuit for impedance measurement.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Impedance plethysmograph (21 CFR 870.2770). Measures body weight and electrical impedance to derive body composition estimates. Class II device.

## 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.
