More Information

No
The provided text describes a standard bone densitometer and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is used for measurement, estimation, and analysis of bone mineral density and body composition, and the estimation of fracture risk. These are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device's intended use includes the measurement of bone mineral content (BMC), bone mineral density (BMD), estimation of fracture risk, and comparison to reference databases, all of which are diagnostic purposes related to assessing bone health.

No

The device is described as a "fan beam X-Ray Bone Densitometer," which is a hardware device that uses X-rays to measure bone density. The description does not indicate it is solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Hologic QDR Explorer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Hologic QDR Explorer is an X-ray bone densitometer. It uses X-rays to measure bone mineral content and density directly within the patient's body. This is an in vivo measurement, not an in vitro measurement of a specimen.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed all involve direct measurement and analysis of the patient's body (bone density, body composition, fracture risk estimation) rather than analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the Hologic QDR Explorer falls under the category of diagnostic imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.

Re: K033224 Trade/Device Name: Hologic ODR X-Ray Bone Densitometer Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1170 Regulation Name: Bone densitometer Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 KGI Dated: October 3, 2003 Received: October 6, 2003

Dear Mr. Phelan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050,

4

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
