BC software accessory for RJL Systems bio-impedance analyzers (Quantum-X, Quantum Desktop, Quantum-III); runs on Windows PC. User inputs resistance, reactance, and demographic data (age, height, weight, gender, activity level, frame size). Software stores data in database for historical tracking; applies clinical prediction equations to estimate body composition parameters (fat, water, metabolic rates). Non-diagnostic; provides no medical opinions. Used by clinicians or patients for tracking body composition metrics over time.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on comparison of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance of prediction equations derived from clinical literature.
Technological Characteristics
Software accessory for bio-impedance analyzers. Operates on Windows-based PC. Connectivity via serial port for data retrieval. Uses prediction equations derived from clinical studies to estimate body composition. Non-diagnostic.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthy adults and adolescents aged 9-94. Used for calculation and historical tracking of body composition parameters including impedance, phase angle, body fat, fat-free mass, total body water, intra-cellular water, extra-cellular water, BMR, DEE, and BMI.
Regulatory Classification
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 4)
The BC application is intended to be used as a software accessory to RJL Systems' existing line of Bio-Impedance Analyzers ( K830292 and K862383 ). The user obtains values for the Resistance and Reactance of an individual, and enters these numbers, along with the individual's name, age, height, weight, gender, activity level, frame size, and optionally, subject ID and desired target weight. These values are stored in a database to enable historical tracking, and are then used in a series of prediction equations to estimate the parameters listed above.
For estimating body composition parameters, the BC application relies on prediction equations developed as the result of clinical studies. The user is provided the opportunity to select from several different sets of equations, each assembled from one or more studies. References are provided for every set of equations, except for those contained in the original RJL BIA-103 device software.
The BC application is non-diagnostic in nature and does not express any opinions with regard to any specific disease or medical condition.

#### 5) Substantial Equivalence Chart
( * ) The Indications for Use statement for the BodyStat QuadScan 4000 simply states "Metabolic Rates". However, the QuadScan 4000 reports "Basal Metabolism" and "Activity Metabolism". Activity Metabolism is an accepted synonym for "Daily Energy Expenditure".
- 6) Conclusion
The BC application represents an evolution of the software provided with RJL Systems' original BIA-103 device and, when used in conjunction with RJL Systems' existing line of Bio-Impedance Analyzers ( K830292 and K862383 ) is equivalent to the Impedimed DF-50 and BodyStat QuadScan 4000.
The product comparison chart establishes that the BC software application does not raise any new questions concerning safety and effectiveness and is equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Callahan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular seal with the text "1906-2006" at the top. The letters "FDA" are in the center of the seal in a bold, sans-serif font. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is written in a cursive font. Three stars are arranged in a horizontal line below the word "Centennial". The text around the perimeter of the seal is difficult to read due to the image quality.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with allthe Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
| 21 CFR 876.xxxx | (Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology) | 240-276-0115 |
