2.1 Device Description
The Sunlight Omnisense
®
7000S/8000S (Omnisense) Ultra-
sound Bone Sonometer is a non-invasive ultrasound device
capable of measuring bone speed of sound (SOS) at one or
more skeletal sites. It is comprised of a main unit and small
hand held probes, each designed to measure SOS at one or more
specific skeletal sites. The basic system is offered with one
probe, capable of measuring SOS of the distal one-third radius.
Additional probes may be added, capable of measuring SOS at
the proximal phalanx III or metatarsal V. Reference databases
are provided for measurements at each of the skeletal sites and
for different genders. See 2.11, "How Supplied‚" page 2-24 for
a complete list of accessories.
Omnisense measures SOS utilizing a technology based on well-
established laws of physics applied to the transmission of sig-
nals along the bone. The measurements are performed while the
subject and the operator are comfortably seated.
A brief description of SOS measurements at the distal one-third
radius, proximal phalanx III, and the metatarsal V are provided
Caution
: U.S. Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or
on the order of a physician (or properly licensed
practitioner).
