Intended Use
The ACON Quik-Check II Midstream Home Pregnancy Test is a qualitative test for the detection the elevated level of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the determination of pregnancy. It is intended for non-professional, over-the counter use.
Device Description
The test utilizes a combination of mouse monoclonal and goat polyclonal antibody in conjunction with a proprietary strepavidin-biotin ligand-binding system to qualitatively detect elevated levels of hCG in urine sample. The assay is conducted by applying urine sample through urination, or dipping test device into collected urine sample, and observing for the formation of colored lines. The specimen migrates via capillary action along the components of the test device to react with the colored conjugate. During migration, hCG molecules in the positive urine sample react with the hCG-specific antibodies, which were conjugated with colored particles, and form a colored line on the "Test Region" of the membrane. A colored line forms in the test (T) region indicates a positive result; while absence of this colored line indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line at the control (C) region will always appear, indicating adequate sample volume and proper wicking, regardless of the presence of hCG. Absence of this control line in the C region indicates that the test result is "invalid". The ACON Quik-Check II Midstream Home Pregnancy Test qualitatively detects hCG in urine with a designated cutoff hCG concentration of 25 mIU/ml. This test has been standardized to the World Health Organization Third International Standard. The addition of hLH (300 mIU/ml), hFSH (1,000 mIU/ml), and hTSH (1,000 IU/ml) to negative (0 mIU/ml hCG) and positive (25 mIU/ml hCG) urine showed no crossreactivity.
More Information

No
The device description details a qualitative immunoassay based on antibody reactions and visual interpretation of colored lines, with no mention of computational analysis or learning algorithms.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool for detecting pregnancy, not a device used for therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device is described as a "qualitative test for the detection of the elevated level of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the determination of pregnancy," which directly aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical test strip that utilizes chemical reactions and capillary action to produce a visual result. There is no mention of any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "qualitative test for the detection the elevated level of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the determination of pregnancy." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (urine) to provide diagnostic information (pregnancy).
  • Device Description: The description details the use of antibodies and a ligand-binding system to detect hCG in a urine sample. This is a typical mechanism for an in vitro diagnostic assay.
  • Sample Type: The test uses urine, which is a biological specimen.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to "aid in the determination of pregnancy," which is a diagnostic purpose.

The fact that it's intended for "non-professional, over-the counter use" doesn't change its classification as an IVD. IVDs can be intended for use by healthcare professionals or lay users.

Clinical studies were conducted to compare the results of ACON Quik-Check II Midstream home Pregnancy Test to the current ACON Midstream Pregnancy Test (K983090). The consumer field study included 113 female participants and demonstrated an accuracy of over 99% correlation between the two midstream hCG tests. The retrospective focus group study on reproducibility and precision included 35 female participants and demonstrated an accuracy of over 99% correlation between the two midstream hCG tests.

Summary of Performance Studies

Clinical studies were conducted to compare the results of ACON Quik-Check II Midstream home Pregnancy Test to the current ACON Midstream Pregnancy Test (K983090). The consumer field study included 113 female participants and demonstrated an accuracy of over 99% correlation between the two midstream hCG tests. The retrospective focus group study on reproducibility and precision included 35 female participants and demonstrated an accuracy of over 99% correlation between the two midstream hCG tests. The results also showed that the vast majority of the participants found ACON Ouik-Check II Midstream Home Pregnancy Test very easy to use, and that they had no trouble understanding the labeling, reading the instructions, or interpreting the results. Additional laboratory study results on performance include specificity, interference substances, urinary pH, urinary specific gravity, and does hook effect. These results indicate that the ACON Quik-Check II Midstream Home Pregnancy Test is robust and will give accurate results under many adverse conditions. The overall performance data indicate that ACON Quik-Check II Midstream Home Pregnancy Test (Home Tests) is safe, effective and substantially equivalent to ACON Home Pregnancy Test (K983090) currently on the U. S. OTC market.
