NORA Study Recommends Primary Care
Osteoporosis Management; Sunlight Omnisense™ 7000S
Gains Popularity in Primary Care Setting
New York, New York, U.S.A.
(April 15, 2002) - Osteoporosis testing in the
doctor's office found strong support recently in
the National Osteoporosis Risk Assessment (NORA)
study, which concluded that osteoporosis diagnosis
should be implemented in primary care. The vast
numbers of undiagnosed osteoporotic and osteopenic
women found by the study - nearly half of the
post-menopausal women tested - confirm the urgent
need for wide primary care access to osteoporosis
diagnosis.
Recent trends have seen a
growing awareness of osteoporosis, both among
physicians and the population at large. Physicians
in sync with this trend are urging post-menopausal
women to be tested for osteoporosis, and concerned
patients are interested in finding the simplest
and most comfortable way to do this test. Sunlight
Omnisense™ 7000S, developed especially for
osteoporosis diagnosis in primary care, meets this
need. Omnisense is today being hailed by
physicians using the device across the United
States as the most effective method of managing
osteoporosis in the primary care setting.
Competitive advantages put Omnisense 7000S
at the forefront of the primary care field.
Omnisense provides the only available multi-site
ultrasound bone assessment, combining the higher
sensitivity of multi-site testing with the ease
and safety of ultrasound measurement. Using a
proprietary along-the-bone technology, it
eliminates soft tissue effects for a precise,
accurate diagnosis.
Markus Maritz,
President of Sunlight Medical Inc., explains,
"Physicians and patients are looking for a
solution for the management of osteoporosis in
primary care. Non-invasive, radiation-free and
user-friendly, Omnisense is the answer. Growing
sales of the device in the United States are
making this clearer and clearer."
