Impedance Plethysmograph, Cranial
- Page Type
- Product Code
- Definition
- Detect or measure variations in volume in the cranium, using tissue impedance properties.
- Physical State
- Device has emitter(s), receiver(s), and computational capacity to analyze signals. Signals may be transmitted with electrical current, radio frequency, or other means affected by tissue impedance.
- Technical Method
- An emitter sends a signal through the cranium. Cranial tissues have a natural electrical impedance that will alter this signal as it passes through them. The altered signal is detected/recorded with a receiver. Analysis of the signal alterations yield information about volumetric changes.

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.
