Jiangsu Yikang Medical Ultrasound Bone Densitometer EK-8800: Tibial and Radial Detection, Unlocking New Advantages in Precise Bone Density Screening
Skeletal health is the foundation of the human body. Osteoporosis is known as the "silent killer", and accurate bone density detection is the key to prevention and intervention. As a leading enterprise in the industry, Jiangsu Yikang Medical independently develops ultrasound bone densitometers. With precise detection capabilities for the tibia and radius, integrating advanced technology and user-centric design, it provides efficient and safe bone density detection solutions for medical institutions worldwide.
Centered on ultrasound technology, the device overcomes the limitations of radiation, optimizes adaptability for tibial and radial detection, and accurately captures bone density values by leveraging technical strengths and physiological characteristics of the measurement sites. Its core advantages are as follows:
1. Complementary Dual-Site Detection, Meeting Precise Screening Needs for All Populations
The complementary physiological characteristics of the tibia and radius, combined with the device’s high-precision detection technology, enable accurate screening for all age groups and scenarios, resolving the limitations of single-site detection.
The distal 1/3 of the radius is rich in cancellous bone and sensitive to bone loss, making it an ideal site for early osteoporosis screening and therapeutic efficacy monitoring, suitable for high-risk groups. Equipped with a handheld broadband focused probe, the device avoids soft tissue interference, with SOS measurement accuracy ＜0.5% and repeatability CV ≤0.4%, far exceeding industry standards for stability.
The tibia features thick cortical bone and a superficial location, ensuring easy positioning and high stability. It reflects overall skeletal strength, suitable for growth monitoring in children and adolescents, as well as initial screening in the elderly, with low postural requirements for examinees. The built-in professional analysis software for all age groups automatically matches reference curves for accurate skeletal condition assessment.
Flexible switching between the two sites achieves the dual goals of "early screening + comprehensive evaluation", adapting to diverse application scenarios.
2. Non-Invasive and Radiation-Free for Enhanced Safety, Suitable for Long-Term Monitoring and Special Populations
Compared with radiation-based detection methods, the device adopts 0.5–1.5 MHz low-frequency ultrasound technology, calculating bone density by measuring SOS and BUA with no ionizing radiation throughout the process, fundamentally ensuring examinee safety.
Its non-invasive nature suits long-term monitoring for special populations: repeated detection for skeletal growth in children and adolescents, calcium supplementation guidance for pregnant and lying-in women, and bone mass change monitoring for middle-aged and elderly people. The painless procedure improves examinee compliance.
3. High Efficiency, Convenience and Ease of Operation, Suitable for Batch Screening and Primary Care Applications
The device optimizes operational procedures with an integrated design and intelligent positioning function, requiring no professional examination room. Operators can master use after simple training, adapting to primary care and batch screening scenarios.
Single detection takes ＜25 seconds, supporting 20–30 batch examinations per hour for "test-and-go" efficiency. With a multi-language system and built-in printer, it automatically generates visual reports and supports data export, meeting the information management needs of primary care institutions.
4. High Accuracy and Reliability, Strong Data Reference and Clinical Adaptability
Equipped with multi-frequency sensors and advanced algorithms, and calibrated by dual phantoms, the device has a measurement error ≤2%. The correlation between radial/tibial detection data and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) reaches above 0.92, with accuracy clinically recognized.
It contains a multi-ethnic reference database, automatically matching reference ranges to provide targeted evaluation reports and health recommendations. With an EMC test report, it can operate alongside ward equipment, reducing clinical detection pressure.
5. Quality and Compliance Assurance, Empowering Global Skeletal Health Management
Adhering to the philosophy of "Technology First, Safety Supreme", Jiangsu Yikang’s devices have obtained international medical device safety certifications and multiple qualifications, meeting global regulatory requirements.
Currently exported to many regions, the device has won overseas recognition with its core advantages, contributing Chinese technological strength to global osteoporosis prevention and control. The enterprise will continue R&D and optimization in the future to promote the global popularization of bone density detection services.
