Intended Use
The bone density estimates from the SXA 3000™ can be used as an aid to physicians in determining fracture risk, based on their comparison to estimates for people without bone related disease, who have the same gender and ethnic background as the patient.
Device Description
The Norland OsteoAnalyzerTM Model SXA 3000TM X-Ray Bone Densitometer (SXA 3000TM) can be used whenever it is desirable to do a bone assessment of the os calcis (heel). Bone assessments are of interest in many medical disciplines such as nephrology, endocrinology, rheumatology, gynecology, etc. The SXA 3000TM scans the heel using the industry standard SXA pencil beam technology and provides BMC, Area, BMD, T-Score, and Z-Score values. A scan takes about three minutes and the patient dose is less than 1.5 mRem. The SXA 3000TM provides fracture risk assessment based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for relating the bone density test to fracture risk assessment and disease diagnosis. In general, this assessment states that patients with T-Scores from +1 to -1 are considered to be normal; T-Scores from -1 to -2.5 are considered to have low bone mass and an increased risk of fracture; and T-Scores below -2.5 are considered to be osteoporotic with a high risk of fracture.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard SXA technology and calculations (BMC, Area, BMD, T-Score, Z-Score) based on WHO criteria, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing, data analysis, or risk assessment beyond these established methods.

No.
The device is described as an aid to physicians in determining fracture risk and providing bone density assessments, not for treating or rehabilitating a condition.

Yes

The device aids physicians in determining fracture risk and disease diagnosis by providing bone density estimates and T-Scores for assessing conditions like low bone mass and osteoporosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "X-Ray Bone Densitometer" and uses "SXA pencil beam technology" to scan the heel, indicating it is a hardware device that performs physical measurements.

Based on the provided information, the Norland OsteoAnalyzerTM Model SXA 3000TM X-Ray Bone Densitometer is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The SXA 3000TM directly scans the patient's heel using X-rays. It does not analyze blood, urine, tissue samples, or any other specimen taken from the body.
  • The device's function is to measure bone density in vivo (within the living body). This is a form of medical imaging and measurement, not laboratory testing of a specimen.
  • The intended use describes aiding physicians in determining fracture risk based on in vivo measurements. This aligns with the function of a medical imaging or measurement device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the SXA 3000TM is a medical device used for in vivo bone density assessment, not an IVD.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The bone density estimates from the SXA 3000TM can be used as an aid to physicians in determining fracture risk, based on their comparison to estimates for people without bone related disease, who have the same gender and ethnic background as the patient.

Dear Mr. Schwalenberg:

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 Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act.). 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.

K980289

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (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 requirements, 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 the Electronic Product 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 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 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
