Intended Use

The QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test is intended to detect the presence of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in Urine for the women who suspect they may be pregnant. HCG is a well know and established analyte used to confirm pregnancy because of its early appearance in urine following conception followed by a dramatic increase in concentration.

Device Story

QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of hCG in urine. Device utilizes immunochemical sandwich assay principle; specific antibody-hCG-antibody complexes form upon contact with urine sample. Results are interpreted visually by user via color change. Intended for over-the-counter use by lay persons (ages 16-55) to confirm pregnancy. Provides rapid, qualitative diagnostic information to assist in pregnancy determination.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence includes a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked consumer study. Correlation study compared device to Quidel RapidVue and Syntron Bioresearch Be Sure, showing >99% correlation. Consumer study (n=123 samples) performed by lay users demonstrated 122/123 sensitivity, 122/123 specificity, and 244/246 accuracy using 0 mIU/mL and 40 mIU/mL hCG concentrations.

Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow immunoassay; immunochemical sandwich assay principle; visual colorimetric readout. Standalone, non-electronic, disposable test kit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative identification of hCG in urine for women suspecting pregnancy. Intended for over-the-counter use by lay persons.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for the early detection of pregnancy is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine. A human chorionic goadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for any uses other than early detection of pregnancy (such as an aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of treatment of persons with certain tumors or carcinomas) is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine.

HCG is a well know and established analyte used to confirm pregnancy because of its early appearance in urine following conception followed by a dramatic increase in concentration. Technology: The QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test, like many commercially available pregnancy test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of HCG by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the Unipath Clearview HCG (Mountainview, CA 94043), Abbot Laboratories' Fact Plus (Abbot Park, IL 60064) and the Syntron Bioresearch Be Sure Pregnancy Test (Carlsbad, CA 92008). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / HCG / antibody complexes. Performance: The product performance characteristics of the QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked HCG study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Phamatech QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available test for the qualitative detection of early pregnancy. Correlation studies, using clinical specimens, produced a >99% correlation when compared to the Quidel RapidVue (San Diego, CA 92121) and the Syntron Bioresearch Be Sure Pregnancy Test (Carlsbad, CA 92008). A blind labeled spiked consumer study was performed; the Phamatech QuickCard exhibited excellent sensitivity (122/123), specificity (122/123), and accuracy (244/246) in the hands of lay users. Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test is substantially equivalent to a variety of pregnancy tests currently in commercial distribution. {1}------------------------------------------------ # IV. Consumer Survey: Introduction: - A study was conducted at five geographically distinct locations using a panel . of coded specimens to demonstrate that lay people, not clinical professic nals, could perform the QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Test reprodicibly and obtain accurate results. The proficiency panel contained negative (0 mIU/mL) and low positive (40 mIU/mL) hCG urine specimens. - Individuals were instructed to follow the QuickCard HCG One Step Pregr ancy . Test package insert to perform and read the assay. In no case was them any verbal communication between the trial participant and Phamatech with regard to assay procedure or interpretation. Trial participants were sur plied with coded specimens and QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Tests. Most participants received a set containing 1 coded positive sample and 1 c >ded negative sample. One participant received 2 coded negative samples. ### Study Population: - . Trial participants ranged in age from 16 to 55 years of age. Respondents were of diverse occupational backgrounds, from students and housewivi s to accountants, chemists and pharmacists. Approximately 25% of the respondents were of Asian decent, 10% were Hispanic, while the rema nder were African American and Caucasian. ### Study Design: - Coded urine samples were prepared as follows: . Samples 1 and 3 were normal pooled male urine samples spiked o 40 mIU/mL hCG (WHO 1st IRP). Samples 2 and 4 were 0 mlU/mL hCG. - . Trial participants each were sent two (2) QuickCard HCG One Step Pregnancy Tests, two (2) coded samples, 1 pair of latex gloves and ge neral instructions (see page 39). Included in each "kit" was a survey explanati on, a questionnaire (see page 40) and a self-addressed, stamped envelope. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
