Does Fitbit's WiFi-enabled Aria scale need FDA clearance?

Product Description

In January 2012 Fitbit expanded beyond wearable activity tracking devices when it launched its Aria WiFi Smart Scale at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). While it offers much of the same functionality -- if not identical features -- to many of its peers, it is now one of the only connected weight scales that does not have FDA 510(k) clearance as a medical device. Perhaps the best known WiFi-enabled weight scale is Withings', which for a number of years sold through various retail channels, including Apple Stores, without a 510(k) clearance.
