Intended Use
The EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis software is used with the EXPERT-XL bone densitometer system. This software feature estimates bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine vertebrae in the lateral view. This BMD value can then be compared to a reference population at the sole discretion of the physician.
Device Description
The EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis Software is an accessory software option for estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD), in g/cm2, of the lumbar spine vertebrae in the lateral view provided for the EXPERT-XL Bone Densitometer with a reference population for comparative purposes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes standard bone densitometry software and does not mention any AI or ML techniques.

No

This software-only device estimates bone mineral density for diagnostic purposes, and does not directly provide or control therapy.

Yes
The device estimates bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine vertebrae, which can then be compared to a reference population at the discretion of a physician. This information aids in diagnosis or monitoring of bone health.

No

The device is described as "accessory software option for estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD)... provided for the EXPERT-XL Bone Densitometer". This indicates it is software that functions with a specific hardware device (the bone densitometer), not a standalone software-only medical device.

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 EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis software works with a bone densitometer system to estimate bone mineral density in vivo (within the living body) using imaging technology. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Input: The input is data from a bone densitometer, not a biological sample.
  • Output: The output is an estimated BMD value, not a result from a test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of medical imaging software used for diagnostic purposes, but it is not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD software acquires images of the lumbar spine in the lateral view; the acquisition takes 16 seconds. The results in vitro correlate highly (r =0.99) with BMD on known phantoms, and the precision in vitro is equivalent to the AP spine when analyzed with a region-of-interest (ROI) of the same dimension. The average short term precision (CV) in vivo is 3.0 to 3.5%; this is higher than that of the AP spine BMD due to smaller ROI's and lower bone density.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

correlation (r =0.99), precision (CV) in vivo is 3.0 to 3.5%

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE: 10.1

The EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis Software is an accessory software option for estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD), in g/cm2, of the lumbar spine vertebrae in the lateral view provided for the EXPERT-XL Bone Densitometer with a reference population for comparative purposes.

10.2 SUMMARY OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

analyzed with a region-of-interest (ROI) of the same dimension. The average short term precision (CV) in vivo is 3.0 to 3.5%; this is higher than that of the AP spine BMD due to smaller ROI's and lower bone density. The female reference population has relatively constant BMD for age 20-49, but BMD decreases after age 50 at a rate of of 0.008g/cm2 per year (~1% per year).

The radiation exposure (skin entrance) of 120 mrem is higher than that for the AP view but is necessary due to the increased thickness in the lateral view. The exposure remains low compared to the maximum permissible dose.

CONCLUSION 10.3

The EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis software option is substantially equivalent to the EXPERT-XL standard anterior (AP) spine projection. The BMD results in vitro show excellent precision and a high correlation to the AP spine. The precision results in vivo are acceptable for the small ROI. The female reference population is relatively constant at the younger age groups with a decline starting after age 50.

No new safety and effectiveness questions are raised with the EXPERT-XL Lateral Spine BMD Acquisition and Analysis software accessory.

Dear Mr. Buroker:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, whice, 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 III (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

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