Intended Use
The Moments Menopause Check is an in-vitro diagnostic screen for the detection of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine. Change in FSH levels may be associated with stages in menopause. This kit provides a preliminary result for the detection/presence of FSH in urine. It is intended for over-the-counter sales.
Device Description
Immunoassay for the qualitative detection FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine. The Moments Menopause Check, like many commercially available FSH screening test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of FSH by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology.

No
The summary describes a standard immunoassay with visual interpretation and does not mention any AI/ML components or processes.

No
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic test for detecting FSH levels, not a device used for therapy or treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is an "in-vitro diagnostic screen" and that "This kit provides a preliminary result for the detection/presence of FSH in urine." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device is an in-vitro diagnostic kit that uses immunoassay technology to detect FSH in urine, which involves physical components and chemical reactions, not solely software.

Yes, based on the provided information, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The Moments Menopause Check is an in-vitro diagnostic screen for the detection of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine." This directly identifies it as an in-vitro diagnostic device.
  • Device Description: The "Device Description" further clarifies that it's an "Immunoassay for the qualitative detection FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine." Immunoassays performed on biological samples like urine are a common type of in-vitro diagnostic test.
  • Sample Type: The test is performed on urine, which is a biological sample collected from the body but tested outside the body (in vitro).

The other sections like "Mentions image processing," "Mentions AI," "Input Imaging Modality," "Anatomical Site," "Indicated Patient Age Range," "Description of the training set," "Description of the test set," "Summary of Performance Studies," "Key Metrics," "Predicate Device(s)," and "Reference Device(s)" provide additional details about the device and its performance, but the core identification as an IVD comes from the explicit statement in the intended use and the nature of the test described.

Device Description

Immunoassay for the qualitative detection FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine

The Moments Menopause Check, like many commercially available FSH Technology: screening test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of FSH by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the Synova Menocheck and the Applied Biotech SureStep FSH (San Diego, CA 92121). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / target analyte / antibody / complexes.

Summary of Performance Studies

The product performance characteristics of the TBD Menopause Check Performance: were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Moments Menopause Check to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of the FSH in urine. Laboratory studies, using clinical specimens, produced a 98% correlation when compared to the predicate devices. A consumer study was also performed. In it the Moments Menopause Check exhibited excellent overall accuracy (97%) in the hands of lay users.

ldentification: Moments Menopause Check (Models 9111 and 9112)

Description: Immunoassay for the qualitative detection FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) in urine

Name Of Manufacturer:

Phamatech 10151 Barnes Canvon Road San Diego, California 92121, USA

Intended Use: The Moments Menopause Check is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of the FSH in urine. The minimum detectable concentration for this test is 25 mIU/ml. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in the early detection of menopause.

The Moments Menopause Check, like many commercially available FSH Technology: screening test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of FSH by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the Synova Menocheck and the Applied Biotech SureStep FSH (San Diego, CA 92121). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / target analyte / antibody / complexes.

The product performance characteristics of the TBD Menopause Check Performance: were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Moments Menopause Check to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of the FSH in urine. Laboratory studies, using clinical specimens, produced a 98% correlation when compared to the predicate devices. A consumer study was also performed. In it the Moments Menopause Check exhibited excellent overall accuracy (97%) in the hands of lay users.

Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech Moments Menopause Check is substantially equivalent to a variety of detection tests currently in commercial distribution and is safe in the hands of the lay user.
