## 9.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:

The LUNAR Report Generator is provided as a software accessory to Lunar Corporation DPX and EXPERT bone mineral densitometers. The Report Generator assists the physician in communicating densitometer results to the patient and the patient’s referring physician.

The reports are generated with data received from the densitometer and physician comments. The Report Generator includes a dedicated word processing program so the physician may add comments to the data provided. The densitometer data is not modified by the Report Generator.

The report is used under the complete and absolute control of the physician. The report does not:

- interpret or advise the physician,
- diagnose osteoporosis,
- assign a level of risk for fracture based upon bone density,
- make treatment recommendations.
