More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on a standard immunofluorescence-based lateral flow assay for detecting hCG. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text.

No
The device is intended for the qualitative detection of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine specimens to aid early detection of pregnancy, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as an assay "designed to aid early detection of pregnancy" through the "qualitative detection of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine specimens," which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states the test kit consists of physical components like test Cassettes and specimen transfer pipettes, indicating it is a 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 for the "qualitative detection of human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine specimens and is designed to aid early detection of pregnancy." This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes a biological sample (urine) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information (pregnancy status).
  • Device Description: The description details a "qualitative immunofluorescence-based assay used to detect concentrations of 20 mIU/mL hCG or more in urine." This describes a laboratory or point-of-care test that analyzes a sample.
  • Clinical Performance: The description of the clinical study, where "fresh urine specimens from patients presenting for pregnancy testing were evaluated," further confirms its use in a diagnostic context.
  • Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" which is another hCG test (QuickVue+ One-Step hCG Combo test) indicates that this device is being compared to other devices used for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

All of these points 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)

Numerous studies were undertaken to document the performance characteristics and substantial equivalence of the test to the predicate device. These studies included the following:

  • a. Analytical Performance
      1. Reproducibility
        The reproducibility of the Sofia hCG FIA was evaluated at three (3) different laboratories. Three (3) different operators at each site tested a series of coded, contrived samples, prepared in negative urine, ranging from a low negative (5 mlU/mL) to a moderate positive (25 mlU/mL) hCG. For each level a total of 90 replicates were tested over five (5) different days at each site. The results at each site agreed 100% with the expected results for these levels. There were no significant differences observed within run, between runs, or between sites.
  1. High Dose Hook Effect
    A high dose hook effect study was performed by spiking high levels of hCG concentrations 0 to 500,000 mlU/mL into negative urine and evaluating the test results. Positive results were observed up to 500,000 mlU/mL hCG. Therefore no hook effect was observed for urine samples with hCG concentrations up to 500,000 mIU/mL.
    1. Detection Limit
      The sensitivity of the device was tested by spiking pooled male urine with varying concentrations (0 to 100 mlU/mL) of hCG traceable to WHO International 4th Standard. The positive/negative threshold at which 100% of the samples tested positive was confirmed at 20 mIU/mL hCG.
    1. Analytical Specificity
      Interference and cross-reactivity studies were performed by adding known amounts of chemical substances, urine analytes, hormones, and microorganisms to pooled negative urine. No cross-reactivity or interference was observed for the substances and microorganisms listed below:

b. Clinical Performance:
A multi-center clinical study was conducted to establish the performance of the Sofia hCG FIA compared to results obtained from another commercially available qualitative test. This study was conducted by health care personnel at five (5) distinct sites in various geographical regions within the United States. In this multi-center, point-of-care (POC) field trial, 974 fresh urine specimens, collected from patients presenting for pregnancy testing, were evaluated.

Test Principle:

The Sofia hCG FIA is an immunofluorescence-based lateral flow test for use with the Sofia Analyzer. The test uses a pair of monoclonal murine antibodies specific to the beta subunit of hCG to capture and detect hCG. The beta subunit was chosen to ensure specificity as the alpha subunit is nearly identical to the alpha subunit found in LH, FSH and TSH.

To perform the test, a urine specimen is collected and dispensed into the Sample Well on the Test Cassette. The Cassette is placed inside of the Sofia Analyzer for an automatically defined development time. The Sofia Analyzer then scans the test strip and analyzes the fluorescent signal, using method-specific algorithms. The Sofia Analyzer then displays the test result (Positive, Negative, or Invalid) on the screen, and optionally prints the results on an integrated printer.

Summary of Performance Data:

Numerous studies were undertaken to document the performance characteristics and substantial equivalence of the test to the predicate device. These studies included the following:

Conclusion:

These studies demonstrated the substantial equivalence of the Sofia hCG FIA for use with the Sofia Analyzer to the existing product already marketed, QuickVue+ One-Step hCG Combo test, K973858. They further demonstrated the suitability of the product for point-of-care use. Such studies are a critical element in establishing the fundamental safety and effectiveness of the product and its appropriateness for commercial distribution.
