## Indications for Use

The seca mBCA 514 measures body Weight and records body Height for calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI), Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) and Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) to monitor growth process and weight changes in individuals of all ages. In healthy individuals aged 18 years and older the device also measures body impedance (Reactance Xc and Resistance R) for estimation of body composition. Estimation of body composition includes Total Body Water (TBW), Intra Cellular Water (ICW), Extra Cellular Water (ECW), Lean Soft Tissue (LST), Fat-Free Mass (FFM), Fat Mass (FM), Fat Mass Indices (FMI and FMMI), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA), Energy stored in body (Ebody) and Phase Angle (Φ). The seca mBCA 514 can be used in conjunction with the optional PC software accessory seca analytics 115 for data management, calculations and display of information.

## Device Story

Scale and impedance plethysmograph; measures body weight and height; performs multi-frequency segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) (right arm, trunk, right leg, left leg, right/left body sides). Inputs: weight, height, bioelectrical impedance (resistance, reactance). Outputs: BMI, REE, TEE, and body composition metrics (TBW, ICW, ECW, LST, FFM, FM, FMI, FMMI, SMM, BIVA, Ebody, Phase Angle). Used in clinical settings; operated by healthcare professionals or patients. Optional seca analytics 115 PC software provides data management, calculations, and display. Output assists clinicians in monitoring growth, weight changes, and body composition status.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench and clinical testing performed. Impedance and weight measurements compared to InBody 720. TBW compared to deuterium oxide dilution; ECW compared to sodium bromide dilution; LST compared to GE Lunar iDXA. FFM estimated via four-compartment model incorporating DXA, BOD POD, and deuterium oxide dilution. No specific sensitivity/specificity metrics provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-frequency segmental bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Measures resistance, reactance, and phase angle. Integrates weight scale and height recording. Optional connectivity to PC software (seca analytics 115).

## 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.

#### Device Description র্ব

The seca mBCA 514 is a scale and impedance plethysmograph body composition analyzer for estimation of the body composition of individuals based on the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). The device measures bioelectrical impedance values by means of multi frequency,

segmental measurements (right arm, trunk, right leg, left leg, right body side and left body side).

# 5 Intended Use

The seca mBCA 514 measures body Weight and records body Height for calculation of Body Mass Index (BMI), Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) and Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) to monitor growth process and weight changes in individuals of all ages.

In healthy individuals aged 18 years and older the device also measures body impedance (Reactance Xc and Resistance R) for estimation of body composition. Estimation of body composition includes Total Body Water (TBW), Intra Cellular Water (ICW), Extra Cellular Water (ECW), Lean Soft Tissue (LST), Fat-Free Mass (FFM), Fat Mass (FM), Fat Mass Indices (FMI and FMMI), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM), Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA), Energy stored in body (Ebody) and Phase Angle (Φ).

The seca mBCA 514 can be used in conjunction with the optional PC software accessory seca analytics 115 for data management, calculations and display of information.

# 6 Safety and Effectiveness Comparison

The results of bench and clinical testing demonstrate that the seca mBCA 514 is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Impedance raw data measurements (Impedance. Resistance, Reactance, and Phase Angle) and measurements of Weight were compared against measurements made by the Biospace InBody 720 (K052646). Estimation of Total Body Water (TBW) was compared against the deuterium oxide dilution method. Estimation of Extra Cellular Water (ECW) was compared against the sodium bromide dilution method. Estimation of Lean Soft Tissue (LST) was compared against measurements obtained from the GE Lunar iDXA Bone Densitometer (K052581). Fat-Free Mass (FFM) was estimated by applying the four compartment model, which incorporates measurements from the GE Lunar iDXA Bone Densitometer (K052581), the BOD POD Sonamet Body Composition Analyzer (K060848), and the deuterium oxide dilution method.

# 7 Conclusion

The differences with the predicate devices and methods are sufficiently minor to establish substantial equivalence, and do not impact the safety or the effectiveness of the device when used as labeled.
