How precise is Omnisense?
Omnisense’s precision at the radius is 0.4%, one of the highest precision ratings in the industry. Precision is important because it gives the system the ability to monitor bone changes due to aging, treatment and other disorders. Based on the Omnisense’s high precision levels, the FDA approved its indication for use in monitoring bone changes in the relevant age groups (50-65, peri & post-menopause). The precision values at both the radius and phalanx sites are close to the annual rate of change for the early post menopausal years. Therefore, when monitoring normal healthy women in the early post-menopausal range who are not being treated with bone-affecting drugs, there should be a two to four year time interval between SOS measurements.
