Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted

Device typehardware with ml
source quote (p.4)
“The SOZOT™ system consists of a connected hand and footplate with built-in stainless steel electrodes, paired with an Android tablet over Bluetooth connection. An app (“SOZOapp"), supplied with the tablet, controls the functionality of the hardware and supplies the bioimpedance measurement data to a database ("SOZOhub") contained within the hospital/facility network. Measurements require the patient to make contact with bare hands and feet on stainless steel electrodes. The measurement takes about 30 seconds, during which the SOZOT™ system measures small quantities of electrical energy (200µA RMS) across 256 frequencies, spaced logarithmically from 3kHz to 1000kHz. Established algorithms are used to analyze data and calculate extracellular fluid impedance levels for left and right sides of the body, and present the impedance levels for the clinician to review.”
AlgorithmEstablished algorithms are used to analyze data and calculate extracellular fluid impedance levels for left and right sides of the body, and present the impedance levels for the clinician to review. The algorithms calculate three bioimpedance parameters: impedance (Z), resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) to calculate the impedance values and estimate extracellular fluid.

    The FDA AI/ML device list shows a newer 510(k) K190529 (decision 2019-11-25) from ImpediMed Limited for a matching device line ("SOZO") — a new clearance for the same line is a change event.

    The FDA AI/ML device list shows a newer 510(k) K180126 (decision 2018-04-16) from ImpediMed Limited for a matching device line ("SOZO") — a new clearance for the same line is a change event.

Recall and MAUDE counts are product-code-level (reports aren't reliably attributable to one device); a recall is shown as device-attributed only when the recall record itself lists this clearance number. Signals are descriptive observables with sources — never a judgment that the device is unsafe or drifting. Snapshot 2026-07-08.

Reimbursement — how devices like this got paid

Not yet tracked — no payment pathway indexed for this clearance (the reimbursement corpus is a growing seed set).

Applicable FDA guidance — what the submission is measured against

FDA guidance documents and guiding principles applicable to 510(k) AI/ML devices in the Cardiovascular panel. A curated reference index, not legal or regulatory advice — each item states its own status, and a draft is never binding.

Applicability is derived from the device's FDA advisory panel and pathway — cross-cutting guidances apply to every AI/ML device; panel-specific ones are flagged. Titles, dates, and links verified against fda.gov as of July 2026.
