MedSurf is authorized by the FDA to make Fracture Risk reporting available via the Internet. Breakthrough technology combined with the ease of use of the Internet's World Wide Web make Remaining Lifetime Risk reporting a practical telehealth service for physicians and diagnostic centers.

The RLFP software algorithm is intended to automate the mathematical operations that are currently performed manually by physicians for a calculation of remaining lifetime fracture probability. The algorithm is based on the Hawaii Osteoporosis Center (HOC) model for estimating an individual's lifetime fracture risk which is currently available in the published literature. The calculation may be used to aid physicians in the calculation of .absolute,. global fracture risk based upon the established, independent risk factors for fracture. The algorithm is not intended to diagnose disease, nor does it provide any therapeutic recommendation. The product is not actively regulated by the FDA but has been reviewed and approved for use on the Internet as a device as defined in Section 201 (h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
