Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
This device is a software accessory for bone densitometers, classified as a densitometer under FDA regulation 892.1170. It evaluates fracture risk by applying World Health Organization (WHO)-defined criteria to patient T-score values derived from bone density scans, aiding in osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk assessment.
The Fracture Risk Assessment Option is designed for use in clinical radiology settings and operates as a supplementary tool to existing Pixi bone densitometers. It is a non-sterile, reusable software solution, supplied as part of the densitometer system. The device holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K983262) under the Radiology Advisory Committee, with no third-party involvement. Compliance is governed by FDA regulation 892.1170, and the product code is KGI.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What clinical setting is the Fracture Risk Assessment Option designed for, and how does it integrate with existing equipment?
The Fracture Risk Assessment Option is specifically designed for use in clinical radiology settings. It functions as a supplementary software tool that integrates directly with existing Pixi bone densitometers, enhancing their capability to evaluate fracture risk by applying WHO-defined criteria to T-score data from bone density scans.
Is this software reusable or single-use, and what are its sterility and supply details?
The Fracture Risk Assessment Option is a non-sterile, reusable software solution. It is supplied as part of the densitometer system, meaning no additional packaging or sterilization is required—it is already integrated and ready for use with compatible Pixi bone densitometers.
How is the regulatory status of this device determined, and which advisory committee was involved in its clearance?
This device holds FDA 510(k) clearance (K983262) under the Radiology Advisory Committee (RA). The clearance was granted as substantially equivalent to a predicate device, following review by the FDA’s Radiology Advisory Committee, with no third-party involvement in the process.
What types of bone densitometers is this software compatible with, and how does it assist in clinical decision-making?
The Fracture Risk Assessment Option is compatible with Pixi bone densitometers, as indicated by the listed registration numbers. It aids clinical decision-making by analyzing T-score values from bone density scans and applying WHO-defined criteria to assess fracture risk, helping clinicians diagnose osteoporosis and evaluate patient risk more effectively.
