Device Description
The iHealth® Early Pregnancy Test is a lateral flow immunoassay technique device designed for the qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) concentration in human urine samples, and is indicated for use as an aid in early detection of pregnancy. The iHealth® Early Pregnancy Test is designed to detect as early as six (6) days before the day of the missed period, i.e., as early as five (5) days before the day of the expected period. Test result is displayed to the user as two lines for a 'Pregnant' result and one line for a 'Not Pregnant' result.
The iHealth® Early Pregnancy Test are in two different formats: Stick and Strip format. Two test formats use identical strips and each test strip in the device consists of: Sample pad, colloidal gold binding pad, nitrocellulose membrane, absorbent paper and PVC board, colloidal gold binding pad coated with hCG monoclonal antibody 1, test line(T Line) coated with hCG-monoclonal antibody 2 and control line(C Line) coated with goat anti-mouse IgG antibody.
Two formats have the same performance specifications. The difference is that Stick format is designed to be tested in dip or midstream method, and Strip format is tested in dip method only.
