A bioimpedance spectroscopy device for use on adult human patients, utilizing impedance ratios that are displayed as an L-Dex ratio that supports the measurement of extracellular fluid volume differences between the limbs and is presented to the clinician on an L-Dex scale as an aid to their clinical assessment of unilateral lymphedema of the arm and leg in women and the leg in men.

The device is only indicated for patients who will have or who have had lymph nodes, from the axillary and pelvic regions, either removed, damaged or irradiated.

Lymphedema Analysis PC Software - an optional PC software package that is intended to be used only with the ImpediMed L-Dex U400 device for uploading data on to the PC from the L-Dex U400, processing and analyzing of bioimpedance measurements.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
