No
The summary describes a traditional in vitro diagnostic test strip read by a chemistry analyzer, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

No.
This device is an in-vitro diagnostic test strip used for the qualitative measurement of hCG to detect pregnancy, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as "for the qualitative measurement of Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine for the early detection of pregnancy," which directly indicates it is used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is "unitized reagent strips" used with "Urine Chemistry Analyzers," indicating it is a physical test strip and not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the qualitative measurement of Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine for the early detection of pregnancy." This is a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample (urine) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: It describes "reagent strips" used with "Urine Chemistry Analyzers," which are typical components of in vitro diagnostic systems.
  • Performance Studies: The document mentions performance studies conducted according to FDA guidance for "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) In Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVD's)."
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices are also IVDs (pregnancy tests).

All of these points strongly indicate that the CLINITEK® hCG Test Strips are an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The performance of CLINITEK® hCG Test Strips was assessed according to the FDA Reviewer's Guidance Review Criteria for Assessment of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) In Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVD's) and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guideline Chorionadotropin Testing: Nomenclature, Reference Preparations, Assay Performance, and Clinical Application Studies were performed in-house and in external field evaluations utilizing clinical urine specimens.

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

The results of the internal and external studies demonstrate that CLINITEK® hCG Test Strips are equivalent in performance to predicate devices currently in interstate commerce and suitable for use in point-of-care locations.

Technological Characteristics:

The CLINITEK® hCG Test Strip uses immunochromatographic assay methods for detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine. It is intended to be read instrumentally on the CLINITEK 50 and CLINITEK 100 Urine Chemistry Analyzers. The first zone of the test strip contains antibody to hCG (monoclonal anti-beta hCG) coupled with red dye. The urine rehydrates this zone and mobilizes the antibody-dye. Any hCG present will bind with the antibody-dye conjugate. Another zone of hCG specific antibodies (polyclonal anti-alpha hCG) is bound to the strip. As the hCGantibody-dye moves along the strip it will bind to this zone producing a red line (positive result). A similar migration pattern occurs with the built-in procedural control feature. A blue line appears which indicates that a sufficient amount of urine has saturated the test strip. If there is no hCG present in the urine only the blue line will appear (negative result). The CLINITEK 50 and CLINITEK 100 Urine Chemistry Analyzers are relectance photometers that analyze the color and intensity of the light reflected from the test strip. The algorithm in the instruments converts the measured reflectance and displays the results as either "positive" or "negative" on the instrument display panel. No calculations are required by the user.

Assessment of Performance:

The performance of CLINITEK® hCG Test Strips was assessed according to the FDA Reviewer's Guidance Review Criteria for Assessment of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) In Vitro Diagnostic Devices (IVD's) and the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) guideline Chorionadotropin Testing: Nomenclature, Reference Preparations, Assay Performance, and Clinical Application Studies were performed in-house and in external field evaluations utilizing clinical urine specimens.

Conclusion:

The results of the internal and external studies demonstrate that CLINITEK® hCG Test Strips are equivalent in performance to predicate devices currently in interstate commerce and suitable for use in point-of-care locations.
