No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the user directly visualizes and interprets the dried saliva pattern. There is no mention of automated analysis, image processing, or any computational component that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is used for diagnostic purposes (indicating ovulation) and does not treat or cure any condition.
Yes
The device is intended to indicate when a woman is ovulating by visualizing dried saliva patterns, using the presence of "fern-like" patterns to identify ovulatory days. This determination of a physiological state based on a test output falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a microscope eyepiece, slide, body, battery, and light source. It is a physical microscope, not a software application.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended to indicate when a woman is ovulating by analyzing a biological sample (saliva) in vitro (outside the body). This directly aligns with the definition of an IVD.
- Device Description: It uses a biological sample (saliva) and a method of analysis (visualizing crystallization patterns) to provide information about a physiological state (ovulation).
- Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's results to a known IVD (urinary LH kit), further indicating its nature as a diagnostic tool.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device listed is an Ovulation Test, which is a common type of IVD.
The device performs a test on a biological sample to provide diagnostic information about a woman's fertility status, which is the core function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope is an over-the-counter device intended to detect the most fertile days of a woman's menstrual cycle by the direct visualization of the characteristic ovulatory ferning pattern seen in dried saliva. This feming occurs due to increased levels of ovulatory hormones.
The Maybe MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope is intended to be used only to indicate when a woman is ovulating by visualizing a woman's dried saliva on a lens. When a woman is ovulating, the increased secretion of estrogen is associated with a fern-like dried salivary pattern.

Device Description
The MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope identifies the most fertile day(s) of a woman's menstrual cycle using a direct saliva sample. The fertile day(s) are detected through the observation of distinctive crystallization or ferning patterns seen on a glass slide. The test is self-administered and is completely portable. It requires no reagents nor specific storage conditions and the testing can be performed with relative ease. The results may be interpreted as soon as saliva applied to the slide dries, usually within 2-6 minutes. The MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope is to be marketed for over-the-counter (OTC) use.
The MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope consists of:
- a black microscope eyepiece with a microscope slide .
- a rubber eye cup .
- a plastic cylindrical body .
- a battery .
- a light source. .
All of these parts are in place in the unit. The consumer does not do anything to the Mini Ovulation Microscope except to place a drop of saliva on the microscope eyepiece/slide, press the light source to illuminate the salivary feming pattern and focus the microscope to obtain the best view.
The Mini Ovulation Microscope is a hand-held, circular shaped mini microscope containing a miniaturized focusing lens and a miniaturized slide. The slide serves as the platform upon which the saliva is placed and for viewing the dried saliva pattern. The device also includes a miniaturized light source (light emitting diode - LED) that serves as the light source and electronic circuitry. The battery is operated with a replaceable 1.5-volt battery. The Mini Ovulation Microscope is completely reusable, and requires only the cleaning of the mini microscope slide to be reused.
The Mini Ovulation Microscope is designed to be used throughout the menstrual cycle. To perform the test, a small drop of saliva is placed on the slide. After the saliva air-dries (usually in 2-6 minutes), the eve piece is brought to close proximity to the eye for viewing. The black button on the bottom of the Mini Ovulation Microscope is pressed to activate the vellow light that allows viewing of the dried saliva pattern. The non-ovulatory (non-fertile) days are identified by "debris-like" substances, such as dots, circles, or random cells. Ovulatory days are characterized by distinct ferning patterns. Days when some ferning and some random "debris-like" patterns are seen are peri-ovulatory days during which some chance of pregnancy exists.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
In a consumer use study with 93 pre-menopausal women aged 13 to 53, the MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope was 97% accurate in identifying the imoending ovulation as compared to a urinary LH kit. Salivary ferning was identified within 48 hours pre or post of the first day of the LH surge in 92/95 cycles.
The readability of the MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope was validated in 28 untrained woman. The consumers were able to identify salivary ferning on at least one of the days when a trained reader identified ferning in 25 of 28 cycles.

Brief Discussion of Nonclinical and Clinical Data (21 CFR 807.92(b)(1.2)
In a consumer use study with 93 pre-menopausal women aged 13 to 53, the MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope was 97% accurate in identifying the imoending ovulation as compared to a urinary LH kit. Salivary ferning was identified within 48 hours pre or post of the first day of the LH surge in 92/95 cycles.
The readability of the MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope was validated in 28 untrained woman. The consumers were able to identify salivary ferning on at least one of the days when a trained reader identified ferning in 25 of 28 cycles.
Performance Data - Conclusions (21 CFR 807.02(b)(3)(
The MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope is substantially equivalent to the Clear Plan® Easy Ovulation Test. Both methods identify the most fertile days of a woman's menstrual cycle and impending ovulation. Clear Plan® Easy Ovulation Test is a urinary LH kit that identifies the mid-cycle LH surge, and the MAYBE? MOM® Mini Ovulation Microscope detects the characteristic ovulatory feming pattern seen in dried saliva. This ferning occurs due to increased levels of ovulatory hormones.
