The device description details a chemical reaction based on pH levels and ammonium concentration, resulting in a color change. There is no mention of algorithms, data processing, or learning capabilities.
No.
The device is intended to detect the leakage of amniotic fluid, indicating a pH level change but not directly treating or alleviating a disease or condition. It is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.
Yes.
Explanation: The device is intended to detect possible leakage of amniotic fluid, which is a condition/disease. It provides information (pH level indicating blue-green color) that aids in determining the presence of this condition, and patients are instructed to report results to their healthcare provider for interpretation and medical care. This aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device, which is used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device is a physical kit containing a panty-liner and a drying tray with a chemical indicator strip. It relies on a chemical reaction and visual interpretation, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended to detect possible leakage of amniotic fluid by indicating pH level. This involves testing a biological sample (vaginal fluid) in vitro (outside the body).
- Mechanism: The device uses a chemical reaction (pH indicator) to analyze the composition of the vaginal fluid. This is a characteristic of IVD devices.
- Purpose: The results are used to provide information about a physiological state (possible amniotic fluid leakage during pregnancy) to aid in diagnosis and medical care.
The fact that it's a home-use test doesn't change its classification as an IVD. Many IVDs are designed for use by patients in a home setting.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AmniScreen Home Detection Liner Kit is intended to detect possible leakage of amniotic fluid when vaginal wetness is experienced during pregnancy by indicating pH level. pH levels greater than or equal to 5.2 produce a blue-green color. Patients are instructed to report or show test results to their healthcare provider for interpretation and medical care.

Device Description
The AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit contains a Testing Panty-Liner (TPL) and a Drying Tray (DT). The TPL comprises a regular panty-liner and an indicator strip assembled into the panty-liner, covered with two layers of one-way perforated film. The indicator strip is removed after use and placed in the DT for 30 minutes before reading the test results. When the indicator strip has been in contact with amniotic fluid, the user will observe a blue-green stain on the yellow background of the strip. An elevated pH level of the fluid causes the stain. The stains on the strip are caused by the sensitivity of a proprietary polymer, which coats the strip and contains the traditional indicator - Nitrazine Yellow, to pH levels above 5.2 units. The proprietary polymer is also sensitive to certain concentrations of ammonium in the tested fluid, and when the color changes are created by fluids with a certain concentration level of ammonium, and pH levels up to 7.0 units, these color changes are reversible and during a drying period of 30 minutes the blue-green stains fade back to yellow.

Summary of Performance Studies
Clinical tests: 339 pregnant participants, arriving at hospitals at three different test sites sensing unexplained wetness, were enrolled in a clinical study to test AmniScreen™. Two of the participants reported of being very uncomfortable when performing the test. The users or the trained staff encountered no safety issues. Two of the participants reported they had a problem using the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit or reading the results. The correlation between the result readings by the participants and trained staff exceeded 97.4%, and there was no significant effect of the result-reading source on the performance of the AmniScreen™ (i.e., sensitivity and specificity achieved by both are almost identical). The sensitivity and specificity of the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit in the study were substantially equivalent to predicate device performance, which was demonstrated by a Nitrazine Paper test performed by clinicians.

510(k) Summary Performance data:
5.1.7. Non-clinical tests: Lab tests to prove efficacy and pH cutoff were performed in the developer's labs and are performed on every batch as part of the manufacturing QC. Reference safety tests were performed by laboratories holding certificates to test for cvto-toxicity, irritation and sensitization (see section 15). Biological bio-burden tests were performed in the developer's labs and are performed as part of the manufacturing OC. Shelf life, storage, temperature limits and transportation tests were performed in the developer's labs.
5.1.8. Clinical tests: 339 pregnant participants, arriving at hospitals at three different test sites sensing unexplained wetness, were enrolled in a clinical study to test AmniScreen™. Two of the participants reported of being very uncomfortable when performing the test. The users or the trained staff encountered no safety issues. Two of the participants reported they had a problem using the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit or reading the results. The correlation between the result readings by the participants and trained staff exceeded 97.4%, and there was no significant effect of the result-reading source on the performance of the AmniScreen™ (i.e., sensitivity and specificity achieved by both are almost identical). The sensitivity and specificity of the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit in the study were substantially equivalent to predicate device performance, which was demonstrated by a Nitrazine Paper test performed by clinicians.
5.1.9. The conclusions drawn from the non-clinical and clinical tests: From the biocompatibility tests it can be concluded that the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit complies with the required safety standards regarding cyto-toxicity, irritation and sensitization. The AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit may be mechanically safer to the user than AMNIOTEST™ as it is not inserted into the vagina. From the pivotal clinical study it can be concluded that the sensitivity and specificity of the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. From the comparison of staff result reading to patient readings, it can be concluded that the AmniScreen™ Home Detection Liner Kit is acceptable to be used as a home test.
