OMNISENSE 7000S/8000S
RDB
| Exclusive Reference Database |
| Omnisense 7000S includes male and female reference databases, making it the only bone sonometer in the United States to offer an approved male reference database collected in North America. Each database includes reference curves for each of the recommended skeletal sites; the distal 1/3 radius, the proximal third phalanx, and the fifth metatarsal. |
| The Omnisense North American male and female reference databases were collected in various geographic regions in the United States and Canada. All subjects were between the ages of 20 - 90 and met strict eligibility criteria. Each skeletal site was measured in accordance with Omnisense's strict measurement methodology. |
WHO Compliant |
| The Omnisense reference curve meets the WHO definition for osteoporosis, crossing the -2.5 T-score threshold at an age range similar to that of vertebral DXA. |
Proven |
| Much discussion has been devoted to the appropriate sample size needed to establish a statistically significant reference database. Sunlight researchers have taken the initiative to gather measurement data from over 6000 subjects measured at 14 different centers from around the world. These subjects were not pre-selected nor were there any special qualification criteria applied to them. Both the system curve and the new curve were then compared by their mean and standard deviation, and no statistical differences were found to exist, reinforcing the validity of the Omnisense reference curve. |
