Intended Use
The Evidence Pregnancy Test is a qualitative, one-step assay for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. The Evidence Pregnancy Test is intended to be used by the lay consumer.
Device Description
Evidence Pregnancy Test is a pregnancy test to be used for detecting human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. The presence of hCG usually appears about the eighth or ninth day after fertilization. The Evidence Pregnancy Test will detect hCG in urine as early as the first day after a missed menses. The Evidence Pregnancy Test will be made available to the lay consumer. The Evidence Pregnancy Test employs a unique combination of monoclonal-dye conjugate and polyclonal-solid phase antibodies to selectively identify human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. As the urine flows through the absorbent portion of the device, the antibody-dye conjugate binds to the hCG forming an antibody-antigen complex binds to the anti-hCG antibody in the positive reaction zone and produces a pink-rose color band if hCG concentration is greater than 25 mIU/ml. In the absence of hCG, there is no line in the positive reaction zone. Unbound conjugate binds to the reagents in the control zone, producing a pink-rose color band, demonstrating that the reagents are functioning correctly.

No
The device description details a chemical assay based on antibody binding and color change, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes. The performance studies are standard clinical trial results comparing the device to predicates, not evaluating an AI/ML model.

No
The device is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of hCG for pregnancy, not to treat or cure a medical condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine to determine pregnancy. This detection is a qualitative assessment used to identify a physiological condition, which falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, chemical-based assay for detecting hCG in urine, involving absorbent material, antibodies, and color bands. This is a hardware-based diagnostic test, not a software-only device.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's a "qualitative, one-step assay for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine." This describes a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a biological sample (urine) to provide diagnostic information (presence of hCG, indicating pregnancy).
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanism of action, which involves chemical reactions with components in the urine sample to detect hCG. This is characteristic of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies evaluate the device's ability to accurately detect hCG in urine samples, using metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. These are standard evaluations for IVD devices.

The fact that it's intended for use by the "lay consumer" (over-the-counter) doesn't change its classification as an IVD. Many IVDs are designed for home use.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A clinical trial was done to confirm the performance of the Evidence Pregnancy Test. These data clearly demonstrate that the performance of the Evidence Pregnancy Test is substantially equivalent to the Hoffman La-Roche Pregnosis Pregnancy Test.

  • Note: False positive results were tested with Pacific Biotech Cards + Q.S. and were confirmed positive. Both the Evidence Pregnancy Test and the Cards + Q.S. detect levels of hCG in urine at 25 mIU/ml. The Pregnosis Pregnancy Test will detect only 1.5 to 2.5 IU/ml of hCG in urine which is approximately 42 days after conception. The Evidence Pregnancy Test is more sensitive than the Pregnosis Test.
