1/6/2000

McCue CUBAClinical Ultrasonic Bone Sonometry System with CUBAplus+V4.2.0 Software

McCue Corporation, Inc.

Sarasota, FL 34242

Approval for the McCue CUBAClinical Ultrasonic Bone Sonometry System to perform a quantitative ultrasound measurement of the calcaneus (heel bone), the results of which can be used in conjunction with other clinical risk factors as an aid for the diagnosis of osteoporosis and other medical conditions leading to reduced bone density and, ultimately, for the determination of fracture risk. The CUBAClinical measures two parameters, Broadband Ultrasound Attenuation (BUA in dB/MHz) which is used for the clinical measurement and Velocity of Sound (VOS in m/s) which is used for QA purposes only. The BUA output is expressed both as an absolute value and, with reference to the embedded Normative Data, as a T-Score, Z-score, and the percent expected (age-matched).

Omnisense Ultrasound Bone Sonometer

Sunlight Ultrasound Technologies, Ltd.

c/o Hogan & Hartson, Washington, DC 20004-1100

Approval for the Sunlight OmnisenseÔ (Omnisense) Ultrasound Bone Sonometer is a non-invasive device that is designed for the quantitative measurement of the velocity of ultrasound waves ("Speed of Sound" or "SOS in m/sec") propagating along the distal one-third of the radius bone. SOS provides a measure of skeletal fragility. The output is also expressed as a T-score and Z-score and can be used in conjunction with other clinical risk factors as an aid to the physician in diagnosis of osteoporosis and other medical conditions leading to reduced bone strength and, ultimately, in the determination of fracture risk. The SOS measured by Omnisense has a precision error low enough in comparison with the expected annual change in a patients’ measurement to make it suitable for monitoring bone changes which occur in the early years following menopause (i.e., age range approximately 50-65 years).

P990066
