No
The device description and performance studies describe a standard lateral flow immunoassay, which relies on chemical reactions and visual interpretation, not AI/ML. There are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is a diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of fecal occult blood (FOB), which aids in identifying gastrointestinal disorders, but it does not directly treat or prevent a medical condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "useful as an aid to detect human blood in stool as found in a number of gastrointestinal disorders, e.g. diverticulitis, colitis, polyps and colorectal cancer." This clearly indicates its purpose is to provide information for the detection or diagnosis of diseases or medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay" with a "test strip" and "plastic housing," indicating it is a physical, hardware-based device, not software only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "qualitative immunoassay for the detection of Fecal Occult Blood... as a self-test product." This involves testing a biological sample (feces) outside of the body to gain information about a medical condition.
- Device Description: The description details a "lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay" that detects a specific analyte (human hemoglobin) in a sample. This is a common format for IVD tests.
- Anatomical Site: The test is performed on "Stool," which is a biological specimen.
- Performance Studies: The document describes studies evaluating the device's accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting the target analyte in fecal samples. These are standard performance metrics for IVD devices.
- Predicate Device: A predicate device (Hemoccult® test) is listed, which is another IVD device used for the same purpose.
All of these factors align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Accuracy: One hundred (100) samples of hemoglobin free feces extraction specimens collected in-house were divided into 5 groups of 20 each. The five groups of extraction samples were spiked with human hemoglobin at five different concentrations (0, 37.5, 50, 62.5 and 2000 ng/ml. Those 100 specimens were tested in house with FOB and predicate device. The correlation between the FOB and the predicate device was 100%.
Reproducibility: This study was carried out at four (4) sites outside Alfa, three Physician's Office Laboratories (POL) and one Medical Laboratory. Evaluations at the POL sites were performed by personnel with different educational backgrounds and working experience and agreed 97.7% with the expected results. The results obtained from the Medical Laboratory agreed 99% with the expected results. FOB was also tested by 120 professional and non-professional lay individuals of different education, age and backgrounds 95% of which were able to follow the package insert instructions and obtain accurate results obtained by professionals.
Consumer study: The results of the consumer study demonstrated that it is compatible and similar to the results obtained by professionals and as a result INSTANT-VIEW® Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Self-Test is safe and effective device for over the counter use. Professional results agreed 100% with the expected results whereas consumer results agreed 95% with the expected results (four false negatives and two false positives). Consumer results are within the accepted range. The responses from consumers are very positive. Over 98% of the consumers found the INSTANT-VIEW® Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Self-Test to be simple, fast, convenience and accurate.

| Common Name: | Immunoassay, FOB Test | |
| Classification: | Occult Blood Test | |
| Product Code: | NGK | |
| Date of Summary | ||
| Preparation | December 25, 2006 | |
| Predicate Device | 510K Number: K880499 | Hemoccult® test by Beckman Coulter, Inc. |
| Device Description | Device is a one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. | |
| The test strip in the device consists of 1) a burgundy-colored | ||
| conjugate pad containing colloidal gold coupled with mouse anti- | ||
| human hemoglobin monoclonal antibodies, and 2) nitrocellulose | ||
| membrane containing a test line (T line) and a control line (C line). | ||
| The T line is coated with anti-human hemoglobin antibodies, and the | ||
| C line is coated with goat anti-mouse IgG antibodies. | ||
| Intended Use | The Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Self-Test is a qualitative | |
| immunoassay for the detection of Fecal Occult Blood by non- | ||
| professional, lay individuals as a self-test product. Measurement | ||
| of FOB is useful as an aid to detect human blood in stool as | ||
| found in a number of gastrointestinal disorders, e.g. diverticulitis, | ||
| colitis, polyps and colorectal cancer. It is intended for over the | ||
| counter use. | ||
| Similarity to the | ||
| Predicate Device | Both are one-step rapid tests. Both are intended to provide qualitative detection of human | |
| hemoglobin in the fecal specimen. Both are in-vitro diagnostic devices. The proposed device has a built-in quality control feature but | ||
| predicate does not. Since FOB is an immunologically based rapid test for the | ||
| detection of human hemoglobin in the fecal samples, it has | ||
| inherent advantages compared to the currently marketed | ||
| chemically based fecal occult blood rapid tests including the | ||
| predicate Hemoccult®. FOB is more specific than Hemoccult® since it is specific for | ||
| human hemoglobin and unlike Hemoccult® does not give false | ||
| positive results due to consumption of red meats, etc. | ||
| Sensitivity and | ||
| Specificity | The sensitivity of the proposed device is 50 ng/ml and it is specific | |
| for human hemoglobin. | ||
| Accuracy | One hundred (100) samples of hemoglobin free feces extraction | |
| specimens collected in-house were divided into 5 groups of 20 | ||
| each. The five groups of extraction samples were spiked with | ||
| human hemoglobin at five different concentrations (0, 37.5, 50, | ||
| 62.5 and 2000 ng/ml. Those 100 specimens were tested in | ||
| house with FOB and predicate device. The correlation between | ||
| the FOB and the predicate device was 100%. | ||
| Reproducibility | This study was carried out at four (4) sites outside Alfa, three | |
| Physician's Office Laboratories (POL) and one Medical | ||
| Laboratory. Evaluations at the POL sites were performed by | ||
| personnel with different educational backgrounds and working | ||
| experience and agreed 97.7% with the expected results. The | ||
| results obtained from the Medical Laboratory agreed 99% with the | ||
| expected results. FOB was also tested by 120 professional and non- | ||
| professional lay individuals of different education, age and | ||
| backgrounds 95% of which were able to follow the package insert | ||
| instructions and obtain accurate results obtained by professionals. | ||
| Stability | The test device is stable when stored in controlled environment at | |
| 15-30° C 59-86° F) for up to two years following the | ||
| manufacturing or until the expiration date printed on the label, | ||
| whichever comes first. | ||
| Formats of the | ||
| Device | The proposed device has only cassette format. The cassette is a | |
| device that contains a dip-strip in a plastic housing. | ||
| Conclusion | The results of accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, reproducibility, | |
| cross reactivity, and interference studies demonstrate that the | ||
| proposed test is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. | ||
| Consumer study | Conclusion of the comparison between professionals and | |
| consumer studies: Professional results agreed 100% with the | ||
| expected results whereas consumer results agreed 95% with the | ||
| expected results (four false negatives and two false positives). | ||
| Consumer results are within the accepted range. The responses | ||
| from consumers are very positive. Over 98% of the consumers | ||
| found the INSTANT-VIEW® Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Self-Test | ||
| to be simple, fast, convenience and accurate. | ||
| The results of the consumer study demonstrated that it is | ||
| compatible and similar to the results obtained by professionals | ||
