Intended Use
The FIRST RESPONSE® 1-Step Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device intended for the early detection of pregnancy by the lay user up to four (4) days prior to the expected menses
Device Description
The device detects the presence of hCG in the urine of a pregnant woman by a series of immunochemical reactions via component reagents striped onto a chromatographic strip contained within plastic housing.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard immunochemical reaction on a chromatographic strip, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis beyond the chemical reaction itself.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test for pregnancy, not a therapeutic device.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The FIRST RESPONSE® 1-Step Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device intended for the early detection of pregnancy..."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical test device with a chromatographic strip contained within plastic housing, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states it is an "in vitro diagnostic test device".
  • Mechanism: The "Device Description" explains that it detects hCG in urine through "immunochemical reactions via component reagents". This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test, which analyzes samples (in this case, urine) outside of the body.

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

The sponsor has reinterpreted the same data provided in K992232 and revised the labeling to reflect the percentage of women in which the device detected the hormone 4 days before-, 2 days before-, and 1 day before their expected period. Additionally, although there were no changes to the data set, the percentages for 3 days before-, 2 days before-, and 1 day before the expected period differ from those previously provided in the labeling. This is because the predicate test's claims were based on the percentage of cycles having quantitative hCG levels approximating the claimed sensitivity level or greater, even though hCG was detected days earlier in many of the conceptive cycles.

(a)
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test system intended for the early detection of pregnancy —(1)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.(2)

Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test system intended for any uses other than early detection of pregnancy —(1)Identification. 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.(2)
Classification. Class III.(3)
Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of the enactment date of the amendments, May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before the device described in paragraph (b)(1) may be commercially distributed. See § 862.3.

the predicate version of the FIRST RESPONSE® Pregnancy Test are identical. They differ only in the number of days prior to the expected menses the device can be used. The subject device is also very similar to the Clearblue Easy®. Both have the same intended use, both are immunochromatographic assays, both have similar test procedures, and both have similar performance (per analytical and consumer study data previously provided).

(8) Other Relevant Information

The sponsor submitted this 510(k) to modify the number of days prior to the expected menses the device could be used. The FIRST RESPONSE® Pregnancy Test predicate version may be used as early as three (3) days before the expected menses and the Clearblue Easy® Early Result Pregnancy Test (predicate) may be used as early as four (4) days before the expected period. The subject device is proposed for use as early as four (4) days before the expected period.

As discussed on August 6, 2002 in a meeting between Church & Dwight Co., Inc. and FDA and in subsequent conversations, the sponsor has reinterpreted the same data provided in K992232 and revised the labeling to reflect the percentage of women in which the device detected the hormone 4 days before-, 2 days before-, 2 days before-, and 1 day before their expected period. Additionally, although there were no changes to the data set, the percentages for 3 days before-, 2 days before-, and 1 day before the expected period differ from those previously provided in the labeling. This is because the predicate test's claims were based on the percentage of cycles having quantitative hCG levels approximating the claimed sensitivity level or greater, even though hCG was detected days earlier in many of the conceptive cycles.
