It provides separate values for the inner core of the bone (trabecular region), the outer ring of the bone (cortical region), and the entire bone (Total). It also provides Axial SSI and Polar SSI values as an aid to physicians in evaluating fracture risk and bone strength. These bone density estimates can also be used as an aid to physicians in determining fracture risk. ## Device Story XCT 2000 L pQCT bone densitometer performs CT scans at user-selectable skeletal sites (heel, forearm, knee, tibia); measures volumetric bone density (mg/cm3) for trabecular, cortical, and total bone regions. Device calculates Axial SSI and Polar SSI values from raw CT data to assist physicians in evaluating fracture risk and bone strength. System features 140 mm measurement diameter, 0.2-0.8 mm selectable resolution, 80-second scan time, and 40 mRem dose. Operated by clinical staff; output used by physicians to assess bone health and fracture risk based on WHO T-score criteria. Benefits include non-invasive bone strength evaluation without additional scan time or patient dose. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Device precision reported as < 3 mg/cm3 for trabecular region and < 9 mg/cm3 for cortical region. Accuracy calibrated to COMAC phantom within 2%. ## Technological Characteristics Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) system. Measurement diameter: 140 mm. Resolution: 0.2-0.8 mm. Calibration: COMAC phantom. Output: Volumetric bone density (mg/cm3), Axial SSI, Polar SSI. Software includes WHO-based T-score fracture risk assessment. ## Regulatory Identification A bone densitometer is a device intended for medical purposes to measure bone density and mineral content by x-ray or gamma ray transmission measurements through the bone and adjacent tissues. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories. ## Predicate Devices - Norland XCT 960 pQCT bone densitometer ([K922286](/device/K922286.md)) - Fracture Risk Assessment for Norland bone densitometers ([K980569](/device/K980569.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Contact Person: W6340 Hackbarth Road Mr. Terry Schwalenberg Fort Atkinson, WI 53538 Director Regulatory Affairs Reg. # 2124648 920-563-8456 Device Trade Name: Model XCT 2000 L pQCT Bone Densitometer Common Name: Peripheral quantitative computed tomography bone densitometer Classification: Bone densitometer, (21 CFR 892.1170), product code 90KGI: Class II Predicate Devices: Norland XCT 960 pQCT bone densitometer (K922286). Fracture Risk Assessment for Norland bone densitometers (K980569). Description of The XCT 2000 L performs a Computed Tomography (CT) scan at various Device: user selectable skeletal sites and measures volumetric bone density in mg/cm3. It provides separate values for the inner core of the bone (trabecular region), the outer ring of the bone (cortical region), and the entire bone (Total). It also provides Axial SSI and Polar SSI values as an aid to physicians in evaluating fracture risk and bone strength. These values are calculated from the raw data taken during the CT scan and do not require additional scan time or patient dose. The XCT 2000 L has a 140 mm measurement diameter, a selectable resolution range of 0.2 to 0.8 mm, a typical scan time of 80 seconds, and a typical dose of 40 mRems. It can do multiple scans at selectable spacing. The XCT 2000 L measures a wide variety of skeletal sites, including the Heel (os calcis), Forearm, Knee, and Tibia. The XCT 2000 L has an in vivo precision of < 3 mg/cm3 for the trabecular region and < 9 mg/cm3 for the cortical region. It is calibrated to the COMAC phantom with an accuracy of 2 % The XCT 2000 L also includes Fracture Risk assessment based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. In general, this means that patients with T- Scores above -1 are considered to be normal; with T-Scores from -1 to -2.5 are considered to be osteopenic and have an increased risk of fracture; and T-Scores below -2.5 are considered to be osteoporotic and have a high risk of fracture. Safety and The XCT 2000 L is comparable to other pQCT bone densitometers Effectiveness: currently in the market. It does not raise any new safety or effectiveness issues. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
