No
The summary describes a standard over-the-counter urine pregnancy test and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.
No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is a diagnostic pregnancy test, not a treatment.
Yes
The device is described as a "Pregnancy Test," which is a type of diagnostic test designed to detect a specific physiological condition (pregnancy) by analyzing a biological sample (urine for hCG).
No
The 510(k) summary describes a urine hCG test, which is a physical diagnostic test kit, not a software-only device. The lack of any mention of software, image processing, AI, or imaging modalities further supports this conclusion.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "urine hCG test which is intended for the detection of pregnancy." This involves testing a biological sample (urine) outside of the body to gain information about a physiological state (pregnancy).
- Over-the-Counter Use: While it's for over-the-counter use, this doesn't preclude it from being an IVD. Many IVDs are designed for home use.
- Predicate Device: The presence of a predicate device (K050930) strongly suggests it's being compared to another device that is also likely an IVD, as this is a common regulatory pathway for IVDs.
The definition of an IVD generally involves devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This description fits the e.p.t CertaintyTM Pregnancy Test.

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.
