Intended Use

The ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test is for the qualitative detection of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the early detection of pregnancy. It is for over-the-counter use.

Device Description

ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test is a modified device from the previously FDA-cleared ACON ACON +/- Mustleann Fregnancy Test is a The immunochemical formulation, which employs an Midsleam Tregnancy Color particle sandwich binding, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of hCG, remains the same for the modified device.

AI/ML Overview

ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Ability of laypersons to correctly read and interpret test results>99% accuracy (259/260 with 95% confidence interval of 97.9-99.9%)

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample size: 260 participants (referred to as "lay persons"). The origin of the participants (country) is not specified.
  • Data provenance: Prospective, as it involved participants actively using and interpreting the device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document does not explicitly state the number or qualifications of experts used to establish the ground truth for the layperson readability study. However, the study focuses on the layperson's ability to interpret predefined "positive" or "negative" signs (+ or -) on the test, rather than a clinical diagnosis. The ground truth for individual test results would likely have been established by performing the test and observing the expected chemical reaction (presence or absence of hCG) against a known standard.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

The document does not describe an explicit adjudication method for the layperson readability study. The study's focus was on the participants' interpretation of the displayed result, implying that each participant's interpretation was compared against the intended (correct) interpretation for that specific test result.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is a rapid diagnostic test, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool requiring human-in-the-loop assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This is not applicable, as the device is not an algorithm or AI. The "standalone" performance here refers to the device's ability to qualitatively detect hCG at a specific cutoff concentration, which is stated to be 25 mIU/mL. The document also states that urine samples with 0 mIU/mL hCG (negative) and 25 mIU/mL hCG (positive) did not interfere with correct reading.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the layperson readability study, the ground truth was the intended visual interpretation of the test result patterns ("+" for positive, "-" for negative).

For the device's analytical performance (hCG detection), the ground truth for establishing sensitivity was against World Health Organization Fourth International Standard for Chorionic Gonadotropin.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not mention a "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The clinical study described is a readability study, which serves as a validation of the device's ease of use for its intended over-the-counter user.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Common Name:

Pregnancy Test Kit, Over-the-Counter

Classification Number:

862.1155

Medical Specialty:

Clinical Chemistry

Intended Use:

The ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test is for the qualitative detection of human Chorionic The ACON 17- Midstrain Programs) - Fees to to to to to to to to of pregnancy. It is for over-the-counter use.

Device Description:

ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test is a modified device from the previously FDA-cleared ACON ACON +/- Mustleann Fregnancy Test is a The immunochemical formulation, which employs an Midsleam Tregnancy Color particle sandwich binding, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of hCG, remains the same for the modified device. With the incorporation of a proprietary moisture-sensitive dye pad within the test strip, an additional test line perpendicular to the regulation thoisture-sellsitive dyc pac willin the test bevice. The moisture-sensitive dye pack to treasur the test the will develop for the mounted test connect by urine sample. Regardless of the test result, this change from coloness to pinnered color with the user. While the un-modified device will have a colored test line developed in the result window for positive result and no colored line for negative colored test inte developed in the result willion to press. "+" pattern in the result window for positive result, and a colored "-" pattern for negative result.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Therefore, a colored "+" sign forms in the result window indicates a possive ers a presedured I nerelore, a colored - - sign in the result window indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural presence of a - - sigli in the result window indicating adequate sample volume and control, a red inte will always appeal in the control winessample. The absence of the redition proper wicking, regardless or the presence or the mind is "invalid". For the modified cost result avon control mic of a horizontal line in the result window also constitutes an "invalid" test result even there is a red line present in the control window.

The ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test qualitatively detects hCG in urine sample with a The ACON 7/- Midstrom Pregnancy - C mIU/mL. The cutoff concentration of this test has been designated colloir the World Health Organization Fourth International Standard for Chorionic Standardized to the World Treath Organized of LH (300 mIU/mL), FSH (1,000 mU/mL), or Ochadouvpll (NHDSC Code: 1970271 ve (0 mIUmL hCG) or positive (25 mIU/mL hCG) urine samples did not interfere in correctly reading of the expected test result.

Clinical Study:

A device readability study using the ACON +/- Midstream Pregnancy Test by participants with no A device readability study assilg the 1 Occuracy of over 99% (2.59/260 with 95% confidence interval of 97.9-99.9%), indicating that the vast majority of lay persons are able to correctly read and interpret the test results following the package insert's instructions.
