The summary describes a simple over-the-counter urine test and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
This device is a diagnostic test for pregnancy, not a therapeutic device. It detects a condition but does not treat or alleviate it.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a pregnancy test, which detects a specific analyte (hCG) in urine to determine a physiological state (pregnancy). This falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it provides information for the detection of a condition.
No
The description clearly states it is a urine hCG test, which is a physical test strip and not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly 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 diagnose a condition (pregnancy).
- Over-the-counter urine hCG test: This further confirms it's a test performed on a biological sample.
These are key characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Roberts:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device, can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895.
