Monitor, Extracellular Fluid, Lymphedema, Extremity

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Measure impedances in affected and unaffected but opposite extremity to periodically monitor the level of extracellular fluid or the differences in bioimpedance between opposing extremities for patients who have been previously diagnosed with unilateral lymphedema (that is, in one affected extremity)

CFR § 870.2770 Impedance plethysmograph

§ 870.2770 Impedance plethysmograph.

(a) 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.

(b) 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.
