Product Information

Quantitative ultrasound bone densitometry engineered for exceptional diagnostic
precision and electrical stability in high-throughput Nigerian healthcare facilities.

Product Overview
The IGEA DBM Sonic Bone Profiler (Model BP01) is a specialized electronic diagnostic device
designed for non-invasive, radiation-free densitometric and structural bone evaluation. By
analyzing ultrasound signal transmission velocity (1.25 MHz) and wave absorption through the
bone tissue, the system measures structural parameters directly at the distal metaphysis of the
phalanx.
To guarantee authenticity, maximum operational life, and strict adherence to international
standardizations, every unit is sourced directly from our European logistics hubs in
Germany and Switzerland. Designed as an all-in-one Central Monitoring Unit (CMU), the
system features an integrated liquid crystal display, a spill-resistant silicone keyboard, an
internal hard disk database, and a dedicated precision calliper equipped with ultrasound
transducers.
The unit is currently available for immediate physical inspection and testing at our Lagos
showroom located at No 43 Ishaga Road, Surulere, Lagos.

Clinical Applications (PAS Framework)
● Problem: Traditional Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) systems present
substantial structural barriers for Nigerian clinics, including high ionizing radiation
exposure, ongoing licensing requirements, substantial capital expenditure, and reliance
on unstable local power grids that risk delicate X-ray tube assemblies.
● Agitation: These logistical constraints restrict routine bone density screening to major
tertiary hubs, leaving primary care clinics, gynecology practices, and pediatric centers
unable to screen early for bone mineral loss, age-related osteoporosis, or developmental
skeletal pathologies.
● Solution: The DBM Sonic Bone Profiler BP01 delivers a completely radiation-free
alternative that can be operated continuously in any clinical office setting. Operating on a
standard 110–230 V line with a low power draw (60 VA), it withstands variable power
conditions through robust fused internal circuitry.

Primary Diagnostic Fields

● Gynaecology & Endocrinology: Screening and monitoring for postmenopausal
osteoporosis, iatrogenic demineralisation, hyperparathyroidism, and renal
osteodystrophy.
● Rheumatology: Densitometric evaluation of skeletal integrity in rheumatoid arthritis,
vasculitis, and systemic bone erosion.
● Paediatrics & Neonatology: Non-invasive assessment of growth disorders, juvenile
arthritis, and malabsorption syndromes. Neonatal bone mineral status can be assessed
using the humerus measurement protocol.
● Radiology Outpatient Services: High-throughput screening that provides immediate
digital T-score/Z-score graph representations against reference population databases.
