Intended Use
The intended use of the MXA-II Software Option for the Hologic X-Ray Bone Densitometers is to allow the visual or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities.
Device Description
The imaging protocols and acquisition software of the MXA-II software option are the same as the Hologic Vertebral Morphometry software program. Using the MXA-II option, the patient would be scanned as under the currently distributed vertebral morphometry option. In the MXA-II option, however, the vertebral deformities can be evaluated either quantitatively or visually.

No
The summary describes a software option for bone densitometers that allows for visual or quantitative assessment of vertebral deformities. It mentions image processing is "Not Found" and explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found". There is no indication of AI/ML in the intended use, device description, or any other provided sections.

No.
The device is used for assessment and evaluation of vertebral deformities, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It provides information for diagnosis rather than directly treating a condition.

Yes
The device is intended for "visual or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities," which clearly indicates a diagnostic purpose.

Yes

The device is described as a "Software Option" for existing hardware (Hologic X-Ray Bone Densitometers) and its function is solely related to the processing and assessment of images acquired by that hardware. There is no mention of new or modified hardware components being part of this submission.

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 MXA-II Software Option for Hologic X-Ray Bone Densitometers is used for the visual or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities based on X-ray images. This is an in vivo diagnostic process, meaning it's performed on the living body, not on a sample taken from the body.

The device analyzes images obtained directly from the patient's body using an X-ray machine, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Ms. Murthy:

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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been redassified 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.

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 defermination 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.
