The device description and performance studies indicate a standard lateral flow immunoassay, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any computational analysis of the results. The results are interpreted visually based on the presence or absence of lines.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device used for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to aid in the early detection of pregnancy, not for treating any condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use" states that the device is "as an aid in early detection of pregnancy," which signifies its role in providing diagnostic information.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device contains physical components such as a plastic housing, nitrocellulose test strips, and a dropper, indicating it is a hardware-based immunoassay test, not software only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is for the "qualitative detection of human chorionic (hCG) in urine, as an in aid in 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 lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of hCG". Immunoassays are a common type of IVD test.
- Performance Studies: The document describes numerous performance studies, including analytical sensitivity, specificity, method comparison with a predicate device, and clinical studies using urine samples. These types of studies are required for the regulatory approval of IVD devices to demonstrate their accuracy and reliability.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K123436) is a strong indicator that this device is being submitted for regulatory review as an IVD, as predicate devices are used for comparison in the regulatory process for new IVDs.
The information provided clearly aligns with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
TrueDx™ hCG Early Result Pregnancy Test (Cassette and Midstream format) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid in early detection of pregnancy, in some cases as early as five (5) days before the expected period, i.e., as early as six (6) days before the day of the missed period.
Important note regarding negative result:
Some pregnant women will not be able to detect hCG in their urine 5 days before the expected period. If you test negative before your missed period, but think you may still be pregnant, you should test against a few a few days after you missed period.
Important note regarding positive results:
Because this test detects low levels of hCG, it is possible that this test may give positive results even if you are not pregnant. If you test positive, but think you may not be pregnant, you should check with your doctor.
All results should be confirmed by your healthcare provider, especially when making decision about future medical care.

High dose hook effect study: Negative urine samples spiked with hCG at concentrations ranging from 20,000 mIU/ml to 450,000 mIU/ml. Three lots of the device for each format were tested by 2 different operators.
Effect of hCG B-core fragment: Negative urine hCG (0 mIU/ml and 5 mIU/ml) and positive urine samples (containing 10 mIU/ml, 25 mIU/ml and 20,000 mIU/ml) were spiked with hCG beta core fragment at concentrations of 50,400, 102,000 and 408,000 p mole/L.
Method comparison with predicate device: Urine samples collected from 166 women (age 19 to 41 years) at physician offices for pregnancy testing. 65 were suspected to be pregnant. Samples were masked and randomized. 166 samples were tested for each format (Midstream and Cassette) by two different healthcare professionals. Each person tested two different lots of each format device at the same time. For the midstream format, one lot was tested by simulate stream method, another by dip method.
Detection of hCG in Early Pregnancy Clinical Samples: A total of 616 urine samples were collected from 56 different women (25-45 years old) who planned to become pregnant. These women were followed throughout their conception cycles with urine collected from day -9 to day +1 of their expected period. The Candidate device (both formats) was used.
Lay user study: A total of 218 females with diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ages ranging from 18 to 63 years. 110 lay users tested with midstream devices and 108 lay users tested with cassette format devices. Lay users were provided only the package insert. The same lay users also tested spiked urine samples around the cut-off level at 3.0 mIU, 7.0 mIU/ml, 8.5 mIU/ml and 10 mIU/ml hCG concentrations. 53 samples at each hCG level were tested on Midstream, 57 samples on Midstream using dip method, and 110 samples on Cassette format. One lot of each of the two test formats was used. An aliquot of each urine sample was also tested by a professional.
Specificity study to determine false-positive result rate: A total of 320 subjects provided urine samples: 100 from pre-menopausal (18-41 years), 111 from peri-menopausal (42-55 years), and 109 from post-menopausal (>55 years) subjects. Three lots of each test format of the candidate devices were used. An ELISA quantitative analyzed hCG level test kit was used. Subjects with a positive test result on the new device or hCG threshold levels >5.00 MIU/ml on ELISA were referred for clinical confirmation.

L. Test Principle:
TrueDX™ hCG Early Result Pregnancy Test and VeriClear™ Early Result Pregnancy Test are sandwich immunoassays employing mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for hCG, which are immobilized on the membrane as test line, with Goat anti-mouse IgG immobilized as control line. After the urine specimen applied to the device, the analyte hCG present in the specimen will react with the mouse anti hCG monoclonal antibodycolloidal gold conjugate. The complex moves via toward to the testing and control zones. Two lines (both Test and Control) showed on test window 3 minutes after the urine application if hCG is present indicating pregnancy. If Test line is absent and only Control line showed color on the test window after 3 minutes indicating the test works but no hCG present in the specimen. In case the Control line does not show any color 3 minutes after application of the specimen, the test is invalid and the specimen should be retest.

Lay user study
A lay user study was performed at intended use sites with a total of 218 females with diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ages ranging from 18 to 63 years. 110 lay users tested with midstream devices and 108 lay users tested with cassette format devices. Lay users were only provided the package insert prior to perform the study.
Lay user results compare to professional user results are listed below.
Pregnancy Result | Lay user/professional | ||
---|---|---|---|
Midstream | Midstream-Dip | Cassette | |
Pregnant | 9/9 | 9/9 | 6/6 |
Non-pregnant | 101/101 | 101/101 | 102/102 |
Total | 110 | 110 | 108 |
Besides testing their own urine samples, the same lay users also tested spiked urine

samples around the cut-off level at 3.0 mIU, 7.0 mIU/ml, 8.5 mIU/ml and 10 mIU/ml hCG concentrations. A total of 53 samples at each hCG level were tested on Midstream. 57 samples were tested on Midstream using dip method and 110 samples were tested on Cassette format. One lot of each of the two test formats were used in the study. An aliquot of each of the urine samples was also tested by a professional using the candidate device. The results are summarized below.

All the lay users participated the study were given a questionnaire to rate how well they understand the instruction in the package insert. A Flesch-kincaid reading analysis was performed to determine that the OTC package insert content is appropriate for a reading Grade level of 7.9. The result of the questionnaire reflect that the consumers found the test easy to use and they did not have trouble understanding the labeling or interpreting results.
Specificity study to determine false-positive result rate
A study was performed to determine the incidence of positive test results from True Diagnostic Early Result Pregnancy Test Device among non pregnant women in three age groups, 18 - 41 years of age (Pre-menopausal), 42-55 years of age (peri-menopausal) and >55 year of age (post- menopausal). A total of 320 subject provided urine samples with 100 from the pre-menopausal subjects, 111 from the peri-menopausal subjects, and 109 in the post-menopausal subjects. Three lots of each test format of the candidate devices were used for this study. ELISA quantitative analyzed hCG level test kit was used in the study. Subject s with a positive test result on the new device or hCG threshold levels >5.00 MIU/ml on ELISA test procedure were referred to clinical confirmation of positive. The results are summarized in table below:
