The device description and performance studies indicate a standard immunoassay for detecting hCG, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for interpretation or analysis.
No.
The device is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of hCG in urine as an aid in early detection of pregnancy, not to treat or cure a medical condition.
Yes
The device is intended for the "qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid in early detection of pregnancy," which is a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical test device (Strip, Cassette, Midstream) that measures hCG in urine. It includes physical components like a test device sealed in a pouch and a dropper. This is not a software-only device.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid in early detection of pregnancy." This involves testing a biological sample (urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information (detection of pregnancy).
- Device Description: The device measures the presence of a hormone (HCG) in human urine. This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing urine samples from individuals to evaluate the device's ability to detect hCG and compare its performance to a predicate device and professional testing. This is typical for IVD validation.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K043443, WONDFO One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Tes) which is also a pregnancy test, further confirms its classification as an IVD.
The device fits the definition of an IVD as it is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Analytical performance
- Precision/Reproducibility/Sensitivity: Negative urine was spiked with hCG standard (traceable to the 5th WHO) to hCG concentrations of 0, 12.5, 18.75, 22.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200mIU/mL. The spiked samples were measured in replicates using 3 different lots for each format. Tests were performed by three different operators for each sample concentration in 10 runs per day for 5 days.
- Strip format:
- At 0, 12.5, 18.75 mIU/mL hCG concentration, 100% negative results (150 total for each concentration).
- At 22.5 mIU/mL, 47.33% negative (71 total) and 52.67% positive (79 total) results.
- At 25, 50, 100, 200 mIU/mL, 100% positive results (150 total for each concentration).
- Cassette format:

- Hook effect test: Negative urine samples were spiked with varying hCG concentrations (3125, 6250, 62500, 125000, 250000, 500000, 1000000 and 2000000 mIU/mL). All tested concentrations gave a positive result. No hook effect was observed at hCG concentrations ranging from 3125 to 2000000 mIU/mL.
- Specificity and cross reactivity: Negative and positive urine samples (10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL) were spiked with various concentrations of glycoprotein hormones LH, FSH, TSH and hCG ß-core fragment. No interference was observed at 500 mIU/mL LH, 1000 mIU/mL FSH, 1000 mIU/L TSH and 2,000,000 pmol/L hCG ß-core fragment for both negative and positive urine samples.
- Interfering substance: Various interfering substances were tested with urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG. No interferences were observed from exogenous compounds at specified concentrations. pH values from 4-9 and specific gravity values from 1.002-1.032 also showed no interference.
Method comparison study
- Method comparison with predicate device: Urine samples from 120 women were collected and tested by ten different health professionals at 3 OB/GYN Physician's offices with the proposed and the predicate devices.
- Strip Format: 57 Positive, 62 Negative (Predicate Device). 1 Discrepant (Predicate Positive, HIGHTOP Negative).
- Cassette Format: 56 Positive, 62 Negative (Predicate Device). 2 Discrepant (Predicate Positive, HIGHTOP Negative).
- Midstream Format: 57 Positive, 62 Negative (Predicate Device). 1 Discrepant (Predicate Positive, HIGHTOP Negative).
The results indicate an over 96% agreement between the proposed and the predicate.
Lay person study
- 300 women, with varying educational and occupational backgrounds from three sites, self-tested their urine samples using the candidate device according to the package insert. Each subject also provided a sample for professional testing with the candidate device.

8. Substantial Equivalence Information
9. Test Principle
The test uses colloidal gold immunochromatography assay to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine at cut-off 25 mIU/ml. When hCG concentration is higher than the cut-off, it will bind to rat anti ß-hCG monoclonal antibody which is labelled by colloidal gold. As the sample migrates on the nitrocellulose matrix of test strip by tomographic action, the complexes of detector antibody with B-hCG are separately captured to a-hCG antibody that has been immobilized on test strip, a red line appears in test zone (T) and the test result is positive. When hCG concentration is lower than the cut-off, there is no red line shows in test zone (T) and test result is negative. There is goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody immobilized in nitrocellulose filter membrane control zone (C) that bind to mouse anti a-hCG monoclonal antibody labelled by colloidal gold. When proper amount sample is applied a red line will appear in control zone (C).

Based on the above results, the sensitivity of HIGHTOP Pregnancy Rapid Test is demonstrated to be 25 mIU/mL.
b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity is not applicable since this is a qualitative test.
c. Hook effect test:
Negative urine samples were spiked with varying hCG concentrations (3125, 6250, 62500, 125000, 250000, 500000, 1000000 and 2000000 mIU/mL). All tested concentrations gave a positive result. The results demonstrated that no hook effect was observed at hCG concentrations ranging from 3125 to 2000000 mIU/mL.
d. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods): HIGHTOP Pregnancy Rapid Test is calibrated against reference material traceable to WHO International Standard 5th edition.
A shelf-life stability test of the devices was performed by accelerated testing. The results showed that the devices were stable for 24 months when stored at 4~30℃ in the sealed foil pouch. Real time stability studies are ongoing.
e. Specificity and cross reactivity
To evaluate specificity and cross-reactivity, negative and positive urine samples (10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL) were spiked with various concentrations of glycoprotein hormones LH, FSH, TSH and hCG ß-core fragment. The results showed that there is no interference at 500 mIU/mL LH, 1000 mIU/mL FSH, 1000 mIU/L TSH and 2,000,000 pmol/L hCG ß-core fragment for both negative and positive urine samples.
f. Interfering substance
To evaluate the potential for interference by certain exogenous compounds, each interfering substance was prepared by diluting stock interfering material to the desired concentration. Urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were spiked with the interfering substance to obtain the desired test concentration. No interferences were observed from exogenous compounds at the following concentrations for both negative and positive hCG urine samples.

To evaluate potential interference from changes in pH, urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were tested at pH values of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The results indicated that changes in pH range of 4~9 do not interfere in the results that were either positive or negative for hCG.
To evaluate potential interference from changes in specific gravity, urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were tested at density values ranging from 1.002, 1.009, 1.012, 1.018, 1.028 and 1.032. The results indicated that changes in specific gravity do not interfere in the results that were either positive or negative for hCG.
B. Method comparison study
Method comparison with predicate device
The performance of the new device was compared to the predicate test. Urine samples were collected from 120 women presenting to test for pregnancy at OB/GYN Physician's offices. Approximately half of the 120 women were suspected to be pregnant and most of them are in the early stage of less than 5 weeks. All samples were stored in refrigerators after collection and prior to testing by health professionals. All samples were tested by ten different health professionals at the 3 OB/GYN Physician's offices with the proposed and the predicate devices.
