AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text from the FDA 510(k) letter and the Indications For Use document does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer your request regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria.

The documents indicate that the "QCT Bone Mineral Analysis Software" (K992246) and "QCT Bone Densitometer (QCT 5000 and QCT 3000)" were found substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices. However, they do not include the specific performance data, acceptance criteria, study design details, or expert qualifications that your questions ask for.

To answer your questions, I would need access to the actual 510(k) submission summary or other detailed performance study reports for this device.
