U-Scan

U-Scan is a new product category at Withings which aims to unlock the wealth of health information to be found via regular at-home urine analysis. It is a versatile cartridge-based platform able to detect, measure, and track multiple parameters found in urine.

The U-Scan Nutri Balance and Cycle Sync cartridges are not medical devices, both cartridges are intended to encourage and/or help the user maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The U-Scan Nutri Balance and Cycle Sync cartridges are not currently available for sale or distribution in the United States. Device effectiveness and safety have not been reviewed by the U.S. FDA and any and all claims regarding performance, features, and/or clinical significance have not been reviewed by the FDA and should not be considered statements of fact.

U-Scan Cycle Sync will be a wellness assistant designed for women, consisting of an app, a connected reader, and disposable cartridges which will allow the follow-up and the prediction of menstruation and the duration of a menstrual cycle. Based on hormonal measurement (LH) and the evolution of certain urinary parameters (water balance, acid-base balance), U-Scan Cycle Sync will bring personalized recommendations (e.g. sleep, nutrition, physical activity) depending on the different menstrual cycle phases.

U-Scan Cycle Sync will be suitable for women who, within the last three months, have met the following criteria:

U-Scan is composed of 2 parts:

The Withings U-Scan Reader is equipped with BLE and Wi-Fi connectivity. The test results are transmitted by Wi-Fi, as a result U-Scan cannot be used without a functional wifi connection. A BLE-ready smartphone with iOS 14 or Android 8 or higher is required to install the device.

The U-Scan battery is designed to last for up to 3 months, and each cartridge is also designed to last for 3 months.

U-Scan is designed to be compatible with most Western-style toilets. The device can be mounted within the toilet bowl thanks to an included fixation arm. The product includes several fixation arm sizes making it able to adapt to most toilet shapes.

U-Scan was specifically designed to live in the toilet environment.
When closed, the product is splash and water resistant, urine or toilet pollutants cannot penetrate to the inside.
U-Scan is made with a glass-fiber reinforced material that can resist the toilet environment.
The product's surface is designed to be rinsed with each toilet flush, just like the ceramic of the toilet bowl.

U-Scan is not currently available for sale or distribution in the United States as the device effectiveness and safety have not been reviewed by the U.S. FDA. We expect that users will be able to buy U-Scan starter kit for $499.95 to get one U-Scan reader and one cartridge (Cycle Sync or Nutri Balance) that provides 3 months of testing. Users will then have a choice to subscribe to automatic refills ($29.95 monthly subscription) or buy standalone cartridges on withings.com.

If already installed, you simply remove U-Scan from your toilet via the fixation arm and follow cleansing instructions.
Open the device by unscrewing the front case to access the inside of the product. Remove the cartridge if already inserted, and insert the new cartridge. Then go to the Withings App to follow the installation procedure.
While open, plug the USB-C charging cable to the reader’s port and a power source. Once charged, remove the charging cable and close up the front case.

Each cartridge includes more than 100 parameters results, which is designed to provide up to 3 months of testing when following the recommended measurement plan in the Withings App.
