The results should not be relied upon alone to make diagnostic decisions. The images shall be without any major bone deformity and without excessive image postprocessing (edge enhancement). ## Device Story BoneXpert is DICOM-based software for pediatric hand radiographs; operates on Windows PC/virtual machine within hospital networks. Inputs: 2D PA hand radiographs (left or right) from PACS or X-ray modality. Processing: machine learning algorithms analyze images to estimate bone age per Greulich-Pyle method; includes image validation step for anatomical appropriateness/quality. Outputs: annotated DICOM image returned to PACS; includes bone contours, individual bone scores, chronological age, sex, Greulich-Pyle bone age, carpal bone age, standard deviation scores, and percent mature height. Usage: pediatric radiologists review output alongside clinical data to inform diagnostic decisions; device does not replace clinical judgment. Benefits: provides consistent, automated bone age quantification with accuracy comparable to or better than human rater variability; reduces manual assessment time. ## Clinical Evidence Primary evidence: Stanford multicenter study (1,285 images, 5 U.S. sites). Performance: RMSE 0.55 years vs. 0.76 years for single manual rater (vs. 3-rater reference). Large deviations (≥1.5 years) in 1.7% of BoneXpert assessments vs. 6.4% for manual raters. Estimated true accuracy 0.41 years vs. 0.65 years human variability. Additional studies: carpal bone age validation, self-validation rejection rate, precision/repeatability, reference curve construction, and robustness to image quality/artifacts. ## Technological Characteristics Software-only DICOM image processing system. Machine learning-based algorithm for bone age estimation per Greulich-Pyle method. Operates on Windows PC/virtual machine. Features: automated bone localization, image quality self-validation, annotated image output, and secondary metrics (standard deviation scores, percent mature height). Connectivity: DICOM destination within hospital network. ## Regulatory 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 results should not be relied upon alone to make diagnostic decisions. The images shall be without any major bone deformity and without excessive image postprocessing (edge enhancement). # Device Description BoneXpert is DICOM image processing software that analyzes pediatric hand radiographs. The software is installed on a Windows PC or Windows virtual machine within the hospital network and is configured as a DICOM destination. Images may be sent from PACS or directly from the X-ray Page 1 {5} modality. BoneXpert analyzes each image and returns an annotated DICOM image into the same study in PACS for review by the radiologist. BoneXpert determines bone age according to the Greulich-Pyle method and displays which bones were used for the assessment. The result box includes chronological age, patient sex, Greulich-Pyle bone age and carpal bone age (for younger children). The result box may also include bone age standard deviation scores, bone age standard deviation, and percent mature height. ## Substantial Equivalence ### Indications for Use Comparison BoneXpert and the predicate device, EFAI Bonesuite XR Bone Age Pro Assessment System (BAP-XR-100), have the same intended use and similar indications for use. Both devices quantify bone age from 2D hand radiographs in pediatric patients and are intended to aid radiologists in bone age assessment without replacing clinical judgment. The differences in age range, algorithm type, and hand laterality do not change the intended use. These differences reflect routine clinical use and device-specific implementation, and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, BoneXpert has the same intended use as its predicate device. ### Technological Comparison BoneXpert and the predicate have similar technological characteristics. Both are software-only devices that analyze pediatric posterior-anterior hand radiographs according to the Greulich-Pyle method to provide an estimated bone age. - Predicate device uses deep learning-based algorithms, while the subject device uses machine learning-based algorithms to analyze the input images. - Predicate device accepts images of the left hand only, while the subject device can accept images of either left or right hands. - Subject device provides an annotated image that displays the contours of the bones and their individual scores that contributed to the primary average bone age estimation output, while the predicate provides a JSON message with structured information on estimated bone age. - Subject device provides secondary interpretative outputs, such as carpal bone age, bone age standard deviation, percent mature height, and bone age standard deviation scores. - Subject device includes an image validation step to ensure analyzed images are anatomically appropriate and of adequate image quality. The devices differ in certain technological characteristics, including the underlying algorithm approach, accepted hand laterality, output format, availability of secondary outputs, and BoneXpert's image validation step. These differences do not alter the clinical workflow or the fundamental information provided to the radiologist. Page 2 {6} The secondary outputs and annotated image provide supplementary context for interpretation of the primary bone age result. They do not introduce a new clinical application or replace radiologist review. Clinical and bench testing support that BoneXpert performs as intended and that these differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. ## Principles of Operation Both devices operate within the standard radiology workflow, provide an estimated bone age based on an established clinical standard, and require radiologist review of the device output. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary Clinical and bench testing was conducted to demonstrate BoneXpert performance. The primary clinical evidence is the Stanford multicenter study, which evaluated 1,285 images from five U.S. clinical sites and assessed BoneXpert performance using interchangeability and model-based variance-decomposition analyses. BoneXpert demonstrated a lower RMSE than a single manual rater when compared against a three-rater reference, fewer large deviations, and estimated true accuracy comparable to or better than human rater variability. Although the subject and predicate performance studies used different statistical methods, both demonstrate agreement between device output and expert radiologist ground truth established using the Greulich-Pyle method. Additional evidence provided includes: - Supplementary Accuracy Studies: summary of independent, peer-reviewed studies comparing BoneXpert with at least one other automated bone age method. - Validation of carpal bone age. - Evaluation of whether the self-validation mechanism appropriately prevents bone age output when the input image is outside the device's valid scope. - Efficiency: evaluation of BoneXpert's self-validation rejection rate. - Precision Study: demonstration of high repeatability of BoneXpert's GP bone age output across longitudinal measurements. - Reference Curve Study: construction of bone age reference curves and bone age standard deviation score interpretation. - Additional bench studies evaluated BoneXpert's robustness to image transformations, reproducibility under clinically relevant image-quality variation, performance with atypical image features or artifacts, and accuracy of bone localization. Page 3 {7} Together, these studies support the safety, effectiveness, and robustness of BoneXpert under clinically representative conditions in relation to the predicate device. ## Conclusion BoneXpert and EFAI Bonesuite XR Bone Age Pro Assessment System (BAP-XR-100) have the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation. The differences between the devices do not change the intended use or raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Clinical and bench testing demonstrate that BoneXpert performs as intended and supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
