Intended Use
The Optasia Medical SpineAnalyzer™ is intended for the visualization or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities between levels T4 and L4 of the thoracic and lumbar spine in adult patients at risk of osteoporotic fracture. The qualified medical practitioner uses the device to calculate vertebral deformity ratios derived from the interactive placement of morphometry markers. Deformity grades are then calculated using criteria published by Genant. Additionally, the qualified medical practitioner can record a manual Genant Semi-Quantitative score based on visual assessment. The qualified medical practitioner may use the deformity ratios and deformity grades to assist in the diagnosis of vertebral fracture and may, along with knowledge of patient history, apply medical expertise and best practice clinical judgment to determine if therapeutic intervention is indicated.
Device Story
SpineAnalyzer is stand-alone software for PCs; processes lateral spine X-ray or DXA images. Clinician identifies vertebrae; software suggests vertebral body contours and 6-point morphometry markers. Clinician reviews and adjusts markers/contours; software calculates vertebral heights and deformity ratios (wedge, biconcavity, crush). Output includes annotated images, deformity percentages, and Genant-based deformity grades. Used by clinicians to assess vertebral deformities and incident fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Facilitates comparison of baseline and follow-up images to track condition progression. Supports clinical decision-making regarding therapeutic intervention.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data, animal, or laboratory performance testing included. Equivalence established via descriptive comparison of technological characteristics and intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Stand-alone software for Windows XP Professional; requires Pentium IV-class processor, 1 GB RAM, 1024x768 display. Inputs: DICOM or TIFF images. Processing: 95-point contour detection, 6-point morphometry, height/ratio calculation. Connectivity: Standalone. Software: Windows-based application, .NET Framework 2.0.
Indications for Use
Indicated for visualization or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities (T4-L4) in adult patients at risk of osteoporotic fracture. Used by qualified medical practitioners to calculate deformity ratios and grades (Genant criteria) and record manual Genant Semi-Quantitative scores to assist in vertebral fracture diagnosis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

## Establishment Registration Number
The SpineAnalyzer was manufactured by: Optasia Medical Limited Haw Bank House High Street Cheadle Cheshire SK8 1AL United Kingdom Establishment Registration Number: "to be applied for"
## Substantial Equivalence
Optasia Medical believes that its SpineAnalyzer is substantially equivalent in design, use and materials to the GE LUNAR Dual-energy Vertebral Assessment View Software, K023554.
## Description of Product
The Optasia Medical SpineAnalyzer is a stand-alone software package which can be installed and used on any "personal computer" meeting the minimum specification requirements defined in Tab 16, section 16.6. SpineAnalyzer is designed with context sensitive menus to guide the qualified medical practitioner through the vertebral assessment workflow of lateral spine xpractionel images from patients at risk of, or suffering from, osteoporosis.
The SpineAnalyzer allows visualization of the spine from lateral spine x-ray or DXA images, and hence identification of vertebral deformities. The SpineAnalyzer can then suggest points that represent the vertebral bodies in the image using a "6-point morphometry" protocol, for the vertebrae the image asing a - These points are then reviewed by a suitably qualified beedical practitioner who can adjust them using his/her clinical expertise to medical practicity.

improvement or deterioration in the condition of the area of interest of the spine.
The Optasia Medical SpineAnalyzer guides the qualified medical practitioner's workflow in the objective assessment of the vertebrae T4 through L4 captured in the image. In osteoporosis, a vertebral deformity may indicate an osteoporotic fracture. A qualified medical practitioner can use the information provided by SpineAnalyzer, together with other clinical information, to make a diagnosis.
In patients who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, a change in vertebral deformity over time may indicate an incident vertebral fracture. SpineAnalyzer facilitates the comparison of baseline and follow-up spine xray or DXA images which the qualified medical practitioner, together with other clinical information, can use to diagnose incident vertebral fracture.
The intended use of SpineAnalyzer™ is to facilitate the visual or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities in lateral DXA or digital/digitized X-ray images.
The indications for use are defined as:
- The Optasia Medical SpineAnalyzer™ is intended for the visualization . or quantitative assessment of vertebral body deformities between levels T4 and L4 of the thoracic and lumbar spine in adult patients at risk of osteoporotic fracture. The qualified medical practitioner uses the device to calculate vertebral deformity ratios derived from the interactive placement of morphometry markers. Deformity grades are then calculated using criteria published by Genant . Additionally, the qualified medical practitioner can record a manual Genant Semi-Quantitative score based on visual assessment.
- The qualified medical practitioner may use the deformity ratios and . deformity grades to assist in the diagnosis of vertebral fracture and may, along with knowledge of patient history, apply medical expertise and best practice clinical judgment to determine if therapeutic intervention is indicated.

Dear Mr. Holmes:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting of
