The DPX Series Bravo, Duo Bone Densitometer provides an estimate of BMD at the spine, proximal femur and forearm regions. This BMD value can then be compared to a reference population at the sole discretion of the physician. The DPX Duo has mechanical features to allow use as an exam table when bone densitometry is disabled and the scan arm is rotated and locked parallel to the table. The use of the DPX Series Bravo, Duo Bone Densitometer is restricted to prescription use only. The operator's manual for the DPX Series Bravo, Duo system contain the following statement: "United States Federal Law restricts this device to the sale, distribution, and use by or on the order of a physician."
Device Story
The DPX Series Bravo, Duo Bone Densitometer is a diagnostic imaging system used to estimate Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in the spine, proximal femur, and forearm. The device utilizes ionizing radiation to perform a 90-second scan. The system processes scan data to calculate BMD (g/cm²), which clinicians use to compare against reference populations for bone health assessment. The DPX Duo model includes a mechanical feature allowing the scan arm to rotate and lock parallel to the table, enabling the device to function as a standard exam table when not in use for densitometry. Operated by trained personnel in clinical settings, the device provides quantitative outputs that assist physicians in clinical decision-making regarding bone health. The system is intended for prescription use only.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evidence includes in vivo comparison of 45 subjects. BMD estimations at the spine showed a correlation of r>0.983 with the predicate Prodigy device. Average BMD values were similar between the subject and predicate devices. Precision metrics (%CV) were reported as <0.27% in vitro, and in vivo short-term precision was approximately 1.2% for spine, 0.80% for total proximal femur, and 1.7% for forearm sub-regions. These results are comparable to currently marketed devices.
Technological Characteristics
Bone densitometer utilizing ionizing radiation (2.0 mrem per measurement). Performs 90-second scans. Features a rotatable scan arm for dual-use as an exam table. Connectivity and software architecture details are not specified beyond standard densitometry processing. No specific materials or ASTM standards provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at the spine, proximal femur, and forearm regions in patients requiring bone density assessment. Restricted to prescription use only.
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.

### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE: 11.1
The DPX series Bravo, Duo Bone Densitometer provides an estimation of Bone Mineral Density (BMD in g/cm²) of the spine, femur and forearm. This BMD value can then be compared to a reference population at the sole discretion of the physician.
The DPX Duo has mechanical features to allow use as an exam table when bone densitometry is disabled and the scan arm is rotated and locked parallel to the table.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## SUMMARY OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 11.2
The DPX series Bravo. Duo Bone Densitometer performs a 90 second scan, with a total skin exposure dose of 2.0 mrem per measurement. The radiation exposure of 2.0 mrem is comparable to the predicate Prodigy and DPX-L bone densitometers.
The BMD spine estimations in vivo provided by the DPX series Bravo, Duo correlate r>0.983 with the Prodigy. The average BMD values obtained in 45 subjects in vivo were very similar with Prodigy and DPX series Bravo, Duo. The average short-term precision (%CV) in vitro was <0.27%. The short-term %CV in vivo was approximately 1.2% for spine, 0.80% for total proximal femur and 1.7% for forearm sub regions BMD. These values are comparable to those shown on currently marketed devices.
#### 11.3 CONCLUSION
The DPX series Bravo, Duo Bone densitometer is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices. No new safety and effectiveness questions are raised with the DPX series Bravo, Duo Bone Densitometer.
