Intended Use
The QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test is a qualitative, one-step, midstream assay for the detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine as an aid in conception by reliably predicting ovulation. The QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test is intended for use by the lay consumer.
Device Description
The QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test is a midstream test used for the qualitative measurement of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and the detection of the LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in reliably predicting ovulation. The ovulation predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The QUIK-CHECK™ ass outside the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under that will be sold under the QUIK-CHECK™ brand and various private labels. The QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test employs a unique combination of monoclonal antibody-dye particle conjugates and polyclonal-solid phase antibodies to selectively identify human Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine. As the urine flows through the absorbent portion of the device, the antibody-dye particle conjugate binds to the LH, forming an antibodyantigen complex. This complex binds to the anti-LH antibody in the test zone and produces a pink-rose color band. The color intensity of this band is equal to or greater than that of the control band when the LH concentration is greater than 40 mIU/mL. In urine with LH concentrations of less than 40 mIU/mL, the band in the test zone will appear lighter than the control band. In the absence of LH in urine, no test band will show up in the test zone. The test has also incorporated a control system where a pink-colored band will always appear in the control zone, demonstrating that the test is functioning correctly.
More Information

No
The device description details a qualitative immunoassay based on antibody binding and color change, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes. The performance studies focus on comparing the accuracy of this chemical reaction to a predicate device.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test that aids in conception by predicting ovulation, and it does not treat or prevent any disease or condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is a qualitative assay for the detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine, which is used "as an aid in conception by reliably predicting ovulation." It aims to provide information about a physiological state (LH surge indicating ovulation) to aid in a medical goal (conception), which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, in vitro diagnostic test that uses chemical reactions and visual interpretation of color bands to detect LH in urine. It is not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine as an aid in conception." This is a diagnostic purpose performed on a biological sample (urine).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states it's "intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home." The term "in vitro diagnostic use" is a direct indicator.
  • Mechanism: The device works by analyzing a biological sample (urine) to detect a specific analyte (LH) to provide information about a physiological state (ovulation). This is the core function of an IVD.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

100 females tested the QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test to determine their respective LH surges over a period of ten consecutive days for one menstrual cycle. Each volunteer conducted the testing at home according to the package insert instructions. The urine samples were refrigerated and provided to the study coordinator. The study coordinator tested each sample using the OUIK CHECK™ and the ClearPlan Easy® Tests. The data obtained was recorded as Negative (no surge) or Positive (surge).

Summary of Performance Studies

A clinical trial was done to compare the performance of the QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test to a substantially equivalent product (ClearPlan Easy") manufactured by Unipath. Data clearly demonstrate that the performance of the QUIK-CHECK™ Ovulation Predictor Test is substantially equivalent to the ClearPlan Easy® Test.
