Intended Use
The Fracture Risk option is used with the LUNAR DPX Series of bone densitometer systems. This option provides an assessment of relative fracture risk based on the patient's T-score value using the categories of fracture risk defined by the World Health Organization (WHO). Physician and patient information is provided to indicate that although bone density is the single most important factor in the assessment of fracture risk and the diagnosis of osteoporosis, the physician should also consider other factors. The use of the Fracture Risk option for DPX Series is restricted to prescription use only.
Device Description
The Fracture Risk Option for DPX Series Bone Densitometers provides fracture risk assessment based on patient's bone mineral density T-score. The Fracture Risk option for DPX Series is a software accessory to aid the physician in assessing fracture risk from the results of a DPX Series bone density examination. The Fracture Risk Assessment Feature does not cause any changes to the scan parameters used in the examination, and it does not affect the results produced.

Not Found

No
The description explicitly states the assessment is based on the patient's T-score value using pre-defined WHO categories, which is a rule-based approach, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, training data, or performance studies indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device aids in assessment and diagnosis by providing fracture risk assessment based on bone mineral density, but it does not treat or cure any condition.

Yes
The device is described as aiding the physician in assessing fracture risk from bone density examination results and uses the patient's T-score to provide an assessment of relative fracture risk, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it helps identify a health condition or risk.

No

The device is described as a "software accessory" to a bone densitometer system (LUNAR DPX Series), which is a hardware device. While the Fracture Risk option itself is software, its function is directly tied to and dependent on the output of the hardware bone densitometer. It does not operate as a standalone software 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: This device is a software option for a bone densitometer. It uses the results of a bone density scan (a measurement taken in vivo on the patient's body) to assess fracture risk. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's used with a bone densitometer system to assess fracture risk based on T-score values. This is an assessment based on a physical measurement, not a laboratory test on a biological sample.

Therefore, while it's a medical device used in diagnosis and risk assessment, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.
