Convenient and Affordable Peripheral DXA Bone Mineral Density Screening Device Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

June 7, 2012 By AxoGen, Inc.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa./PRNewswire/ — Lone Oak Medical Technologies,
Doylestown, PA,
is pleased to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved
its ACCUDXA2 Bone Mineral Density Assessment System for the U.S. market. Unlike
Central DXA devices that measure the bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip and spine,
the ACCUDXA2 Peripheral DXA (pDXA) device accurately measures the bone density of
the finger — a site with over 50 years of clinical acceptance.

The ACCUDXA2 BMD Assessment System features an enhanced form
of x-ray technology to measure bone density. Called Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry
(or DXA), this noninvasive technology is considered to be the gold standard in bone
densitometry screening of Osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss.

The ACCUDXA2 employs a very low radiation dosage (0.0003 uSv),
or 1/150,000th of a typical chest x-ray, to produce its screenings.

BMD is an appropriate parameter by which to monitor changes in
bone mineral density effected by drug therapy or aging. Physicians are encouraged
to compare results of BMD tests taken on a patient over a period of time with the
reported ACCUDXA2 precision (repeatability).

“The ACCUDXA2 offers an aging population a convenient and
affordable alternative to time-consuming hospital visits for Central
DXA testing,” said Alan Keim, President of Lone Oak Medical Technologies.
“Screenings can now take place in neighborhood clinics and doctor offices.
Scan times are less than ten seconds, and the complete exam can be completed in
two minutes,” he added.

Other benefits include:

  • Cost Effective — The ACCUDXA2 is highly affordable.
  • Data Archive — ability to store patient test records.
  • Clinically Proven — The ACCUDXA2 BMD Assessment System analyzes
    the finger. A 2009 Rancho Bernardo Study indicated the importance of measuring BMD
    of the phalanges by comparing BMD obtained with ACCUDXA2 with BMD of the total hip
    obtained by DXA, as well as comparing the association of phalange BMD with osteoporotic
    fractures.
