Indications for Use
The Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option uses the femoral neck T-Score results of the Norland DXA bone densitometer, along with the results of a Clinical Risk Factor questionnaire, to determine the patient's risk of incurring a hip fracture or a major osteoporotic fracture in the next ten years. This information is useful to health care professional as they manage diseases or conditions relating to bone health. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment. The SIRI Table Option uses the SIRI UWE % Fat results of the Norland DXA bone densitometer to classify the patient as Underfat, Healthy, Overfat, or Obese, based on the industry standard Body Fat Charts developed by Tanita from the work done by D. Galligher. It also calculates the industry standard BMI based on the patient height and weight information entered by the operator. This information is useful to health care professionals as they manage diseases or conditions relating to or affected by the patient's relative amount of fat tissue. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment.
Device Story
Software options for Norland DXA bone densitometers; provide additional clinical information to healthcare professionals. Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option: inputs femoral neck T-score and clinical risk factor questionnaire; uses WHO FRAX algorithm to estimate 10-year hip/major osteoporotic fracture probability. SIRI Table Option: inputs DXA-derived % body fat and operator-entered height/weight; plots % fat against age/gender-matched charts to classify body fat status; calculates BMI. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals to manage bone health and body fat-related conditions. Does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment. Output provided as risk probabilities and body composition classifications to assist clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only. Ten-Year Fracture Risk: software values compared to FRAX website charts; 150 patient records used to generate probability scores, validated via linear regression against FRAX website outputs. SIRI Table: 150 patient records used to verify correct chart inclusion and proper plotting of % fat values.
Technological Characteristics

#### ರು. Device Description
The Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option and the SIRI Table Option for the Norland DXA Bone Densitometers are software options that use presently provided scan results and related industry standards to provide additional information to the medical professional as they diagnose and treat bone related and body fat related diseases and conditions.
#### 10. Intended Use
The Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option uses the femoral neck T-Score results of the Norland DXA bone densitometer, along with the results of a Clinical Risk Factor questionnaire, to determine the patient's risk of incurring a hip fracture or a major osteoporotic fracture in the next ten years. This information is useful to health care professional as they manage diseases or conditions relating to bone health. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment.
The SIRI Table Option uses the SIRI UWE % Fat results of the Norland DXA bone densitometer to classify the patient as Underfat, Healthy, Overfat, or Obese, based on the industry standard Body. Fat Charts developed by Tanita from the work done by D. Galligher. It also calculates the industry standard BMI based on the patient height and weight information entered by the operator. This information is useful to health care professionals as they manage diseases or conditions relating to or affected by the patient's relative amount of fat tissue. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment.
#### 11. Technological Characteristics
These options do not affect the technology of the Norland bone densitometers. No physical changes are required and the scanning and analysis functions are not impacted. They only require software modifications to add their additional features.
### 12. Non-Clinical Tests
/
#### Ten-Year Fracture Risk:
The chart values in the software were compared to the values in the charts on the FRAX website, by a person different from the one who entered the data. The clinical risk factors and the low, woderate, and high significance assigned to them, were verified to be the same as the FRAX publication.
Previously acquired data from 150 patients was used by the new software to generate their Ten-Year Probability of a hip fracture and of a Major Osteoporotic Fracture. These values were then compared to the values given by the charts on the FRAX website for the same demographics. The results correlated well and a linear regression analysis was carried out on the resulting data.
### SIRI Table Option.
Previously acquired data from 150 patients was used by the new software to generate their bone exam report, to verify the proper chart was included in the report, and to verify the SIRK UWE % Fatu value was properly plotted on the chart.

### 13. Clinical Tests
Clinical testing was not required for cither of these options to establish safety or effectiveness. because they do not cause changes to the scanning or analysis processes. Instead, they just use the values presently generated to produce their results.
However, proper operation of both options with real patient data was tested, using sets of clinical data available from Norland customers. See bench testing above. However, no subjects were scanned solely to test these new options.
### 14. Test Conclusions
Testing confirms the performance of the Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option and the SIRI Table Option is consistent with the indications for use; and that these options are substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices with respect to safety and efficacy.

Ten-Year Fracture Risk and SIRI Table Options for Norland DXA Bone Device Name: Densitometers
Indications for Use: .
#### Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option
The Ten-Year Fracture Risk Option for the Norland DXA Bone Densitometeters uses the femoral neck T-Score, along with certain clinical risk factors, to estimate the patient's len-year risk of a hip fracture and/or a major osteoporodic fracture, based on the FRAX algorithm developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). This information is useful to health care professional as they manage diseases or conditions relating to bone health. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment.
#### SIRI Table Option
The SIRI Table Option for the Norland DXA Bone Densitometers uses the SIRI UWE % Fat value, and plots it on the industry standard body fat charts. The chart used depends on the patient's gender and age, and it indicates whether the patient is Underfat, Healthy, Overfat, or Obese. These charts are the result of work done by the National Institute of Health (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute), who assigned underfat to obese classifications to the BMI value; and by Tanita Corporation, who related BMI to % body fat based on DXA bone densitometry. This ontion also calculates the patient's Body Mass Index (BMI) based solely on the height and weight data inputted by the operator, as a convenience. This information is useful to health care professional as they manage diseases or conditions relating to or affected by the patient's relative amount of fat tissue. This option does not diagnose disease or recommend treatment.
Prescription Use YES AND/OR (Part 21 CFR 801 Subpart D)

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
