Intended Use
The Instant-View™ LH Ovulation Predicting Test is a qualitative immunoassay for the detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (hLH) in human urine to predict the occurrence of ovulation. This device is intended for professional and laboratory use only. The Instant-View™ LH Ovulation Predicting Test is a qualitative immunoassay for the detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (hLH) in human urine to predict the occurrence of ovulation. It is for health care professional use, including at the point of care (physician's office labs, doctor's offices).
Device Description
This test is a one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. Instant-View™ LH Ovulation Predicting Test has two formats, cassette test and dip-strip test. The cassette test contains the dip-strip in a plastic housing.
More Information

No
The description details a lateral flow immunoassay, which is a chemical test, and there is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data training/testing.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to predict ovulation by detecting Luteinizing Hormone. It is not designed to treat or prevent a medical condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is a "qualitative immunoassay for the detection of human Luteinizing Hormone (hLH) in human urine to predict the occurrence of ovulation," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay" with "two formats, cassette test and dip-strip test," indicating it is a physical test kit, not software.

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 (hLH) in human urine to predict the occurrence of ovulation." This involves testing a biological sample (urine) in vitro (outside the body) to gain diagnostic information (predicting ovulation).
  • Device Description: It's described as a "qualitative immunoassay," which is a common type of test used in IVD devices to detect specific substances in biological samples.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: While it's for professional and laboratory use, and healthcare professionals at the point of care, this doesn't preclude it from being an IVD. Many IVDs are used in these settings.
  • Performance Studies: The description includes performance metrics like sensitivity, correlation, and reproducibility, which are typical evaluations for IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K981271; CLEARPLAN Easy™ One-Step Ovulation Predictor) is a strong indicator that this device is being compared to another legally marketed IVD.

The core function of analyzing a human biological sample (urine) in vitro to provide diagnostic information (predicting ovulation) aligns perfectly with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The sensitivity of the device is 20mIU hLH/ml (WHO standards, LH 1st IRP 68/40).
The correlation between the Instant-View ™ Ovulation Predicting Test and the legally marketed test compared is 99%. The negative results agreed 97.4% (37/38). The positive results agreed 100% (62/62).
The reproducibility of this device was studied at three Physician's Office Laboratories (POL) and one reference laboratory. Evaluations were performed by personnel with diverse educational backgrounds and working experiences. Only one discrepancy was observed, that was within the range of 25% below the cutoff, and all other results obtained were as expected. The results from the four evaluation sites agreed 97.5%, indicating a high reproducibility of the device.

Both devices are intended to use for a detection of hLH surge in human urine. Technological characteristics:
Both devices are one step, qualitative, visual lateral flow immuno-Chromatographic test in a sandwich complex format. Interpretation of results:
The presence of C line serves as an internal quality control, and the presence of the T line indicates a positive result.
Intended UseThe Instant-View™ LH Ovulation Predicting Test is a
