Intended Use
The intended use of the CTXA Hip Extence Data accessory for the CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometry module is to provide a context for the clinical interpretation of a patient's proximal femur BMD estimates. T-scores are calculated relative to a US normal female Caucasian reference population age 20-39 years, and Z-scores are calculated relative to a US normal female Caucasian reference population age 20-79 years. The use of a reference data set and the interpretation of parameters derived by the CTXA Hip module when comparing patient-specific BMD estimates to the installed and selected reference data set is at the discretion of the physician.
Device Story
CTXA Hip Extended Reference Data is a software accessory for the CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometer. It functions by applying an expanded reference database to existing BMD estimates generated by the CTXA Hip module. The device transforms patient-specific BMD inputs into comparative T-scores and Z-scores. Used in clinical settings by physicians to interpret bone density data; the output serves as an aid in identifying patients with low bone mineral density and determining fracture risk. The device does not alter the underlying BMD measurement process but provides a broader normative context for clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparison of BMD estimates and T-scores between the subject device and the predicate CTXA Hip module. Results showed identical BMD estimates and a non-significant difference of 0.1-0.2 T-score units.
Technological Characteristics
Software accessory for CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometer. Operates as a reference database module for calculating T-scores and Z-scores from BMD estimates. No hardware components; software-based calculation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for clinical interpretation of proximal femur bone mineral density (BMD) estimates in patients. Provides T-scores (relative to US Caucasian females age 20-39) and Z-scores (relative to US Caucasian females age 20-79) to aid physicians in identifying low BMD and assessing fracture risk.
Regulatory Classification
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.

K002113: CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometer
#### Device Description
The CTXA Hip Extenced Reference Data is an accessory to the CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometer. The CTXA Hip Extended Reference Data is used within the CTXA Hip module to calculate T-scores and percent young normal for any patient, and Z-scores for patients age 20-80 for BMD estimates made using the CTXA Hip module.
#### Intended Use
The intended use of the CTXA Hip Extence Data accessory for the CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometry module is to provide a context for the clinical interpretation of a patient's proximal femur BMD estimates. The use of a reference data set and the interpretation of parameters derived by the CTXA Hip module when comparing patient-specific BMD estimates to the installed and selected reference data set is at the discretion of the physician.
#### Summary of Technological Characteristics and Comparison with Predicate Devices
The predicate K002113 CTXA Hip Bone Mineral Densitometer Module (CTXA Hip) provides estimates of bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) values similar to those obtained from DXA devices. These BMD estimates from the predicate device are compared to a reference database of age 20-39 US Caucasian females to calculate T-scores and percent young normal for patient BMD estimates and Z-scores for patient BMD estimates for ages 20-39. The current CTXA Hip Extence Data is an accessory to CTXA Hip that also is used to calculate T-scores and percent young normal, and also is used to calculate Z-scores for ages 20-80. The CTXA Hip BMD estimates referenced to the CTXA Hip Extence Data reference population are used as an aid to the physician in identifying patients with low bone mineral density and as an aid in determining a patient's fracture risk.
{1}------------------------------------------------
### Summary of Clinical Performance Data
BMD estimates obtained with CTXA Hip with Extended Reference Data accessory are identical to BMD estimates obtained with the predicate CTXA Hip. T-scores calculated with CTXA Hip with Extended Reference Data accessory are slightly less negative than those calculated with CTXA Hip, approximately 0.1-0.2 Tscore units. This difference is not significant clinically.
# Conclusions
The CTXA Hip Extended Reference Data is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate device. The clinical interpretation of BMD estimates made with CTXA Hip Extence Data is comparable to that associated with the predicate device.
