Intended Use

UltraScan 650 can be used to determine BMDus Index in adult men and women and to assess appendicular fracture risk in postmenopausal women.

The BMDus Index is a clinical measure based on ultrasound variables of the forearm which is highly correlated with the value of BMD of the 1/3 radius as provided by DXA, with a standard error of the estimate of 0.041 grams/cm2.

BMDus Index is expressed in grams/cm² and as a T- and z-score, derived from comparison to a normative x-ray absorptiometry reference database.

BMD 15 Index has a precision comparable to that of x-ray absorptiometry, which makes it suitable for monitoring bone changes in postmenopausal women.

Device Description

The UltraScan 650 is an ultrasound device that is designed to non-invasively and quantitatively assess the amount of bone at the 1/3 location of the radius in the forearm of an individual.

The UltraScan 650, with a user-supplied laptop, is designed for the estimation of bone mineral density (BMD in g/cm²) of the radius at the 1/3 location. The UltraScan 650 outputs a BMD is Index an estimate of the BMD that would be measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at the same anatomical location, that is, an estimate of BMDDXA, at the 1/3 radius. The UltraScan 650 also outputs the T-score in standard deviations (SD) and Z-score in SD as well. The precision of the measurement is 2.1%, when expressed as a coefficient of variation. The range of the output of the UltraScan 650, depends on the subjects that are measured. However, based on the normative (reference) data, we can calculate the range that will include 99.85% of all subjects.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information for the UltraScan 650, based on the provided document.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a formal, quantifiable list. However, based on the performance comparisons made to establish substantial equivalence, we can infer the key performance metrics and the reported results for the UltraScan 650. The primary goal is to correlate with DXA measurements and demonstrate comparable precision.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from comparison to references)Reported Device Performance (UltraScan 650)
Correlation to BMD (DXA)0.93 (against Hologic QDR 4500, K023398)

EMC (IEC 60601-1-2)Compliant
Acoustic OutputMax acoustic output, pulse intensity integrals, pulse total energy, pulse duration, pulse repetition rate, pulse average intensity, time average intensity, acoustic signal center frequency, beam total power all tested. Specific values not provided in this summary, but implied acceptable.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document provides limited detail on specific sample sizes for each clinical test. It mentions a "broader population" for patient population discussions and multiple "data sets."

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated as a single number.
  • Data Provenance: The document generally refers to "Clinical Data" without specifying country of origin or whether it's retrospective or prospective. Given the FDA submission, it's likely the data were gathered for this submission. The reference database used is "Hologic 1/3 radius adult white females and males, K023398 / K103265," which suggests a US-centric or internationally recognized normative database.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not provided in the document. The ground truth relies on DXA measurements, which are considered the "gold standard," but no details are given about the experts who performed or interpreted these DXA scans or established the ground truth.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, If so, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance

This device, the UltraScan 650, is a bone sonometer and not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging interpretation tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human reader improvement with or without AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed. The device provides a direct measurement (BMDus Index) rather than assisting human interpretation of complex images.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

Yes, the very nature of the UltraScan 650 is a standalone device. It's an "ultrasound device that is designed to non-invasively and quantitatively assess the amount of bone at the 1/3 location of the radius." It outputs a BMDus Index, T-score, and Z-score directly. There is no mention of a human-in-the-loop component for its primary function of generating these measurements.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

The primary ground truth used for comparison and validation of the UltraScan 650 is Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of BMD, specifically at the 1/3 radius. DXA is referred to as the "gold standard" for measuring BMD. The device's "BMD us Index" is described as an "estimate of the BMD that would be measured by DXA."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not explicitly state the sample size for a "training set." This type of device relies on a "normative x-ray absorptiometry reference database" (Hologic 1/3 radius adult white females and males, K023398 / K103265) for T- and z-score derivations. The "clinical data" mentioned are for "Estimation of BMD," "Reproducibility," "Fracture Risk," "Reference Data Base," and "Dominant vs Non-Dominant Arm," but specific sample sizes for these studies are not detailed.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since an explicit "training set" for an AI algorithm isn't detailed for this device, the concept of "ground truth for the training set" doesn't directly apply in the same way it would for AI-based image classification.

However, the device's T- and z-scores are "derived from comparison to a normative x-ray absorptiometry reference database." This means the ground truth for establishing these normative values would have been a large dataset of DXA measurements from a reference population (in this case, "Hologic 1/3 radius adult white females and males"). The establishment of this normative database itself would have involved numerous DXA scans performed according to established medical protocols to define normal bone density ranges across different age groups and genders.

Discussion of Substantial Equivalence to Predicate

Table 1 above compares the key features of the UltraScan™ 650 with the identified predicate and it demonstrates that the proposed device can be found to be substantially equivalent. Table 2 compares the subject device to the reference devices, specifically for the anatomical location for taking measurements and the comparison of ultrasound to DXA for a BMDw Index value.

Indications for Use - The indications for use of measuring bone density. Discussion - Both device has similar indications for use but differ in the location that the measurement is taken, however there are reference devices which take bone density measurements at the 1/3 radius, K110646.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Patient Population - The patient population is for assessing appendicular fracture risk in postmenopausal women and for determination of BMDus Index in adult men and women. Discussion - The subject device has included all individuals who may need BMD testing while the predicate is limited to postmenopausal women. We have included clinical data to support the broader population.

Environment of Use - The environment of use is hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, physician's offices, and clinics.

Discussion - There are no differences in the environment of use between the subject device and the predicate.

Technology - The technology is ultrasound via transmission utilizing multiple transducers. The subject device is placing the transducers at the 1/3 radius whereas the predicate places the transducers at the heel.

Discussion - While there is a difference in the location of the transducers between the subject device and the predicate, the reference device, K110646, BeamMed Omnisense 7000S is an ultrasound bone sonometer that is placed at the 1/3 radius. Therefore the difference between the subject device and predicate is addressed via the reference device which has similar indications for use and technology. The difference does not raise any new concerns related to substantial equivalence.

Performance - The correlation of the subject device to the gold standard DXA for measuring BMD is 0.93 vs. the reference, Hologic QDR 4500, K023398, 0.8. We did not compare performance to the predicate.

Discussion - We are making no claim of performance other than the subject device is substantially equivalent to the reference. Hologic ODR 4500. K023398. While the predicate discusses a Stiffness Index they have equated it to BMD. We believe given the higher correlation of the subject device we can present the data as BMDus Index as compared to BMDxx from a marketing perspective.

Materials – The materials which are in patient contact are for less than 1 minute and would be considered as incidental.

Discussion - The type and time of patient contact to the materials is very small and poses no safety risks.

Discussion of Substantial Equivalence to Reference Devices

The UltraScan 650 is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate device because:

Indications for Use - The indications for use of measuring bone density. Discussion - All devices have similar indications for use and can be found substantially equivalent.

Patient Population - The patient population is for assessing appendicular fracture risk in postmenopausal women and for determination of BMDus in adult men and women. Discussion - The subject device has included all individuals who may need BMD testing while the references are limited to postmenopausal women. We have included clinical data to support the broader population.

Environment of Use - The environment of use is hospitals, sub-acute care facilities, physician's offices, and clinics.

Discussion - There are no differences in the environment of use between the subject device and the references.

Technology - The technology is ultrasound while one reference uses ultrasound the other uses Xray, all take the measurements at the 1/3 radius which includes the 1/3 radius. Discussion - While there is a difference in the technology for the K023398 DXA reference, we compared our clinical performance to this reference and found a significant correlation. The difference does not raise any new concerns related to substantial equivalence.

Performance - The correlation of the subject device to the gold standard DXA for measuring BMD is 0.93 vs. the reference, Hologic QDR 4500, K023398, 0.8.

Discussion - We are making no claim of performance other than the subject device is substantially equivalent to the reference, Hologic QDR 4500, K023398. While the predicate discusses a Stiffness Index they have equated it to BMD. We believe given the higher correlation of the subject device we can present the data as a BMD1Js Index as compared to BMD7xA from both a scientific and from a marketing perspective.

Non-Clinical Testing Summary -

We performed testing which evaluated:

  • AAMI/ANSI/ES60601-1:2005 for electrical safety ●
  • IEC 60601-1-2:2007 for EMC
  • Distance Validation:
  • Time Delay Correction: and ●
  • Quality Control
  • Acoustic output ●

Cinical Testing Summary -

The UltraScan 650 has been tested against several data sets to demonstrate the efficacy of the UltraScan 650. The data are:

{10}------------------------------------------------

  • Simulation Data; ●
  • In Vitro Data; ●
  • Clinical Data - Estimation of BMD;
  • Clinical Data - Reproducibility;
  • Clinical Data Fracture Risk; ●
  • Clinical Data Reference Data Base; and ●
  • Clinical Data Dominant vs Non-Dominant Arm ●

Discussion of Differences –

The differences presented and discussed above are:

  • Patient population
  • . Comparison and correlation of the UltraScan 650 quantitatively estimates the bone mineral density (BMD) as measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), i.e., BMDnxA Index. We found the correlation to be 0.93 vs. the reference of 0.8.

These differences based upon the testing and risk assessment do not raise new concerns of safety and thus the subject device can be considered as substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion -

Based upon the presented information the sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device and predicate have been found to be substantially equivalent and there are no new concerns raised.
