Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VicTorch Meditek Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Urinary Pregnancy Test Card device (also The VicTorch hCG Test Card) is designed as a rapid in vitro diagnostic (IVD) qualitative lateral flow color-conjugated immuno-chromatographic (CCI) assay for the early detection of pregnancy, now bolor only gated "immal test for the placental hormone, hCG, at the required cut-off level of 20 mlU hCG/ml of human urine. VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are intended to meet all requirements for yielding rapid, easily read, qualitative results for the purpose of early pregnancy detection via CCI assay of hCG, a placental hormone that may be present in human plasma or urine, according to the requirements set forth in Title 21, section 862.1155 of the Code of Federal Regulation or CFR, and in subsequent federal Guidance Documents. VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are not intended for quantitative results, nor for over the counter (OTC) sales. VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are designed for professional use only, and provide only preliminary analytical data. For a final diagnosis of pregnancy, a more specific alternative clinical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result.

Summary of Performance Studies
(1) Sensitivity studies that includes 20% above and below 20 mlU hCG/ml cutoff concentration and other 0 to 100 mlU hCG/ml levels that indicated the VicTorch hCG Test Card can consistently detect 20 mlU hCG /ml or greater hCG in human urine as it claimed. (2) Specificity studies against other structurally related hormones such as 500 mlU/ml of LH, 1000 µlU/ml of TSH, and 1000 mlU/ml of FSH that shown that these hormones do not cross-react with the VicTorch hCG Test Card at the indicated test levels. (3) Interference studies against analytes commonly found in OTC, prescription and/or abuse drugs proved that those drugs, chemical analytes, and pH (varied within normal range for human urine) did not interfere VicTorch hCG Test Card performance, yielding no false positive or false negative results. (4) The Specimen Collection and Storage Studies on both hCG negative and hCG positive urine specimens validated the VicTorch hCG Test Card devices when tested for urine specimens refrigerated for up to three days. (5) Accuracy studies at an external OBGYN clinical center on 172 female patients (with 91 hCG positive and 81 hCG negative) gave complete agreement (accuracy = 100%) with the ABI's SureStep hCG Test, the predicate approved hCG assay device. (6) In house stability study for both accelerated and real time evaluations showed that the performance of VicTorch hCG Test Card was stable for at least one year from the time of being manufactured.
Key Metrics
Relative Accuracy = Total # of VicTorch hCG Test Card agreeing with SureStep / vs. Total # of ABI SureStep tested x 100% = 172/172 x 100% = 100%, with at 95% Confidence = 99.1-99.8%.

9. SUMMARY STATEMENT OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
The VicTorch hCG Test Card device is a lateral flow qualitative color-conjugated immunochromatographic (CCI) in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) on the cutoff level of 20 mlUml of human urine, for detection of early pregnancy as commonly used by professionals. Measurements obtained by the qualitative VicTorch hCG Test Cards are used to aid in the diagnosis of pregnancy. VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are classified as about II Devices, as described in Section 21 CFR 862.1155 Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Test Systems, having product code: 91 DHA.
These VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are IVD tests designed to give rapid, visual, qualitative results and are intended for professional use only. VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are not intended for quantitative results, nor for over-the-counter sales. The VicTorch hCG Test Cards provide only preliminary analytical data. A more specific alternative clinical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result.
In order to determine if the VicTorch hCG Test Card devices can function as effectively as other FDA approved and currently marketed similar hCG test devices (such as ABI's SureStep hCG Test Card devices), a number of evaluation studies were done with the VicTorch hCG Test Cards as listed herein. These studies included: (1) Sensitivity studies that includes 20% above and below 20 mlU hCG/ml cutoff concentration and other 0 to 100 mlU hCG/ml levels that indicated the VicTorch hCG Test Card can consistently detect 20 mlU hCG /ml or greater hCG in human urine as it claimed. (2) Specificity studies against other structurally related hormones such as 500 mlU/ml of LH, 1000 µlU/ml of TSH, and 1000 mlU/ml of FSH that shown that these hormones do not cross-react with the VicTorch hCG Test Card at the indicated test levels. (3) Interference studies against analytes commonly found in OTC, prescription and/or abuse drugs proved that those drugs, chemical analytes, and pH (varied within normal range for human urine) did not interfere VicTorch hCG Test Card performance, yielding no false positive or false negative results. (4) The Specimen Collection and Storage Studies on both hCG negative and hCG positive urine specimens validated the VicTorch hCG Test Card devices when tested for urine specimens refrigerated for up to three days. (5) Accuracy studies at an external OBGYN clinical center on 172 female patients (with 91 hCG positive and 81 hCG negative) gave complete agreement (accuracy = 100%) with the ABI's SureStep hCG Test, the predicate approved hCG assay device. (6) In house stability study for both accelerated and real time evaluations showed that the performance of VicTorch hCG Test Card was stable for at least one year from the time of being manufactured. Support data collected from the above evaluation and accuracy studies (i.e., Relative Accuracy = Total # of VicTorch hCG Test Card agreeing with SureStep / vs. Total # of ABI SureStep tested x 100% = 172/172 x 100% = 100%, with at 95% Confidence = 99.1-99.8%) indicate substantial equivalence of this newly designed VicTorch hCG Test Card with the predicate approved hCG assay device.
We can conclude that VicTorch hCG Test Card devices are substantial equivalent to currently marketed ABI's SureStep hCG pregnancy rapid tests devices for professional use qualitative urinary assay of hCG at the required cut-off of 20 mlU/mL.
