ABMD Software

HeartLung Corporation

The Automated Bone Mineral Density Software Module measures bone mineral density from existing CT by averaging Hounsfield units in trabecular vertebral bone and can calculate age- and sex-referenced Z and T scores.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Output and human action
Vertebral segmentation, trabecular Hounsfield-unit measurements, calculated BMD, Z and T scores, snapshots, and measurements for human review.
  • FDA source
  • Exact FDA submission
  • Checked 2026-09-04
Limitations
The FDA labeling states that the module is not a replacement for DXA or another dedicated BMD examination. Results are opportunistic CT measurements and require review of scan quality, calibration, anatomy, and clinical context.

Deployment and data flow
Not established in reviewed sources
  • Reviewed sources checked
  • Exact FDA submission

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.

Evidence summary
K213760 FDA decision material establishes the labeled use, workflow, inputs, outputs, and limitations for Automated Bone Mineral Density Software Module. No exact-submission clinical performance metric is promoted without a complete source table and version-scoped endpoint.

No evidence was promoted. The records concern generic bone-mineral-density topics or the unrelated Abiomed brand and do not identify the HeartLung ABMD software, tested version, or K213760. The current discovery snapshot contains 20 PubMed and 10 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
