The Pronosco X-posure System™ is intended for use to estimate BMD in the forearm and to assess increased risk of osteoporotic fractures according to World Health Organization (“WHO”) criteria. The device is specifically indicated for use to: (1) assist the physician in diagnosing subjects who have already been identified to be at risk of suffering from osteoporosis, together with other known risk factors (i.e., prior history of fractures, advanced age, low body weight, lack of physical exercise, lack of exposure to sunlight, insufficient dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D, and smoking); and (2) compare the BMD estimate with reference populations of young normals and age matched normals to compute T-scores and Z-scores, respectively.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
