Intended Use
The intended use of the Hologic® Body Composition Software Option for QDR® X-Ray Bone Densitometers is to estimate the lean body mass and fat mass of non-osseous tissues in situations where medically necessary.
Device Description
The Hologic® Body Composition Software Option for QDR® X-Ray Bone Densitometers is a software algorithm that permits an operator to display soft tissue characteristics. Soft tissue estimates are obtained using the Dual X-Ray Photon Absorptiometry (DXA) technique in which the x-ray tube emits alternating pulses of "high" and "low" energy x-rays which pass through the subject and are received by the detector array. The attenuation of the x-ray beam due to the subject is estimated by the detectors. By comparing the attenuation of the high and low energy pulses, the contributions of bone in the subject can be eliminated, leaving only the contributions due to non-osseous tissues.

No
The description focuses on the DXA technique and a software algorithm for calculating soft tissue characteristics based on x-ray attenuation, with no mention of AI or ML terms or methodologies.

No.
The software estimates lean body mass and fat mass, which is a diagnostic function for body composition, not a therapeutic intervention.

Yes.
The device estimates lean body mass and fat mass, which is a form of diagnostic information used in medically necessary situations.

No

The device is described as a "Software Option for QDR® X-Ray Bone Densitometers," indicating it is a software component that works in conjunction with a hardware device (the bone densitometer) to perform its function. It is not a standalone software application.

Based on the provided information, the Hologic® Body Composition Software Option for QDR® X-Ray Bone Densitometers is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description clearly states that this software analyzes data obtained from an X-ray scan of the subject's body (in vivo), not from a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
  • The intended use is to estimate body composition directly from the subject. This is a direct measurement on the living person, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, specifically related to medical imaging and analysis of the human body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Study type: Comparative experiments; Generation of normative data; Study to determine strength of agreement among ODR models with body composition software.
Sample size: Not specified for all studies, but measurements were recorded for fat mass, lean mass, total soft tissue mass and percentage fat for each subject in the agreement study.
AUC: Not Found
MRMC: Not Found
Standalone performance: Not Found
Key results: Published reports using in vitro and in vivo models have established the utility and validity of determining the soft tissue components of body composition with the QDR® devices. Studies included comparative experiments to evaluate DXA and other modalities commonly used for estimating body composition; normative data generated among healthy individuals spanning the adult age-range (as well as in children and adolescents); and the value of DXA among patients with syndromes known to affect body composition (e.g., AIDS and cystic fibrosis). All correlation coefficients were strongly positive; approximately 0.99 for each comparison. The incremental percentage difference among the models was small, ranging from approximately 0.5% for percentage fat to 2.5% for fat mass. These data support the conclusion that, in selected cases, such as monitoring of patients where marked changes in body composition are expected, the ODR® models may be used interchangeably, especially if attention is given to obtaining cross-calibration data.
