The DPX-RX Bone Densitometer provides an estimate of BMD at the lumbar Spine and proximal femur regions. This BMD value can then be compared to a reference population at the sole discretion of the physician. The use of the DPX-RX Bone Densitometer is restricted to prescription use only.
The DPX-RX Bone Densitometer provides an estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD in g/cm2) of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur.

(a)
Identification. A bone densitometer is a device intended for medical purposes to measure bone density and mineral content by x-ray or gamma ray transmission measurements through the bone and adjacent tissues. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.
