No
The description focuses on database management, reporting, remote control, and communication with hospital systems. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for data analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is described as software that assists physicians in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and monitoring bone changes by analyzing ultrasound measurements, not directly treating a condition.
Yes
The device assists physicians in the diagnosis of osteoporosis by providing Stiffness Index results expressed as t-scores, which are explicitly stated to be used "to assist the physicians in the diagnosis of osteoporosis."
No
The device description explicitly states that Achilles OsteoReportN is software used with the Achilles family of ultrasonometers, which are hardware devices that measure ultrasound variables. The software controls and retrieves data from these hardware devices.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Achilles OsteoReportN software, in conjunction with the Achilles ultrasonometers, measures ultrasound variables of the os calcis (heel bone) to calculate a Stiffness Index. This is a non-invasive measurement performed directly on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to assist physicians in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and monitor bone changes by providing a clinical measure (Stiffness Index) comparable to BMD measured by X-ray absorptiometry. This is a diagnostic aid based on a physical measurement, not an analysis of a biological sample.
While the software processes data and provides information for diagnosis, the core measurement is a physical one using ultrasound, not an in vitro analysis of a biological specimen.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Achilles OsteoReportN is software used with the Achilles family of ultrasonometers to provide a patient database, customized reporting, and communication with Health Information Systems. Achilles OsteoReportN together with the Achilles ultrasonometers measures ultrasound variables of the os calcis to provide a clinical measure called Stiffness Index.
The Stiffness Index indicates risk of osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women comparable to bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by X-ray absorptiometry at the spine or hip.
Stiffness index results expressed as t-scores are used to assist the physicians in the diagnosis of osteoporosis in the same way as are t-scores or obtained by x-ray absorptiometry. Either the stiffness index t-score or x-ray absorptiometry t-score can be utilized by a physician. in conjunction with other clinical risk factors, to provide a comprehensive skeletal assessment.
The stiffness index has a precision error in older women comparable to that of x-ray absorptiometry, which makes it suitable for monitoring bone changes.
