Intended Use
The QuickVue® Semi-Q hCG-Combo is a one-step immunoassay intended for the semi-quantitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum and the qualitative detection of hCG in urine for the early detection of pregnancy. The QuickVue Semi-Q hCG-Combo is intended for use by health care professionals.
Device Description
The test is a rapid immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of hCG in serum and the qualitative detection of hCG in urine. This test is to be used for the early detection of pregnancy. Serum or urine is added to the Sample Well on the Test Cassette. Shortly after addition of the sample, a blue procedural Control Line will appear in the Result Window. If hCG is present in the sample, a pink-to-purple Test Line will also appear. If hCG is not present, only the blue procedural Control Line will appear. Serum results are interpreted by comparing the color development of the Test Line with a Reference Line. Serum results are reported as negative, positive less than 25 mIU/ml or positive greater than 25 mIU/mL. Urine results are interpreted as negative or positive.

No
The description details a rapid immunoassay based on chemical reactions and visual interpretation of color lines, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is an immunoassay for detecting hCG, indicating pregnancy, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The device is described as an "immunoassay intended for the semi-quantitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum and the qualitative detection of hCG in urine for the early detection of pregnancy," which directly falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it detects a physiological state (pregnancy) by measuring a specific biomarker (hCG).

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical immunoassay test kit involving a Test Cassette, Sample Well, and visual interpretation of color lines. This is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "for the semi-quantitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum and the qualitative detection of hCG in urine for the early detection of pregnancy." This involves testing biological samples (serum and urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state (pregnancy).
  • Device Description: The description details a "rapid immunoassay" that analyzes serum or urine samples to detect the presence of hCG. This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes studies using "serum and urine samples obtained from women presenting for pregnancy testing" and comparing the results to a "commercially distributed in vitro test." This further confirms its use in analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Reference Device: The mention of a "Reference Device" which is another "ImmunoConcentration™ Assay for hCG detection" reinforces that this device is intended for the same diagnostic purpose as other IVDs.

The core function of the device is to analyze biological samples in vitro to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition (pregnancy), which is the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The device, QuickVue Semi-Q hCG-Combo, is similar to other FDA-cleared devices used for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum or urine. The test is used in the early detection of pregnancy and is intended to measure hCG, a placental hormone, in serum, plasma or urine (21 CFR 862.1155). The FDA has proposed that hCG test systems be classified as Class II.

Serum or urine is added to the Sample Well on the Test Cassette. Shortly after addition of the sample, a blue procedural Control Line will appear in the Result Window. If hCG is present in the sample, a pink-to-purple Test Line will also appear. If hCG is not present, only the blue procedural Control Line will appear.

Serum results are interpreted by comparing the color development of the Test Line with a Reference Line. Serum results are reported as negative, positive less than 25 mIU/ml or positive greater than 25 mIU/mL. Urine results are interpreted as negative or positive.

Physician's Office Laboratory studies were conducted to show that doctor's office personnel with diverse educational backgrounds and work experience could perform the test accurately and reproducibly. Testing was performed at three geographically distinct sites in the United States. The results obtained at each site agreed 100% with the expected results.

Such studies are a critical element in establishing the fundamental safety and effectiveness of the product and its appropriateness for commercial distribution.

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

Numerous studies were undertaken to document the performance characteristics and the substantial equivalence of the test to other commercially available products for the detection of hCG in serum or urine. These studies included the following:

  • The test was shown to be similar to other commercially distributed in vitro tests in terms of features and intended use.
  • The test was shown to have excellent intra- and inter-assay precision.
  • Lot-to-lot consistency analyses showed the test to be reproducibly manufacturable.
  • Common drugs, chemicals, and biologicals were shown not to interfere with the test's performance.
  • Using serum and urine samples obtained from women presenting for pregnancy testing, a direct comparison of the test to the Hybritech® ICON® II HCG ImmunoConcentration™ Assay for hCG detection was conducted. An accuracy exceeding 99% was observed.
  • Physician's Office Laboratory studies were conducted to show that doctor's office personnel with diverse educational backgrounds and work experience could perform the test accurately and reproducibly. Testing was performed at three geographically distinct sites in the United States. The results obtained at each site agreed 100% with the expected results.

These studies demonstrated the substantial equivalence of the QuickVue Semi-Q hCG-Combo to existing products already marketed.

510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS XI.

Product:

QuickVue® Semi-Q hCG-Combo

Manufacturer:

OUIDEL Corporation 10165 McKellar Court San Diego, CA 92121 U.S.A.

Device Classification:

The device, QuickVue Semi-Q hCG-Combo, is similar to other FDA-cleared devices used for the detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in serum or urine. The test is used in the early detection of pregnancy and is intended to measure hCG, a placental hormone, in serum, plasma or urine (21 CFR 862.1155). The FDA has proposed that hCG test systems be classified as Class II.

Intended Use:

The test is a rapid immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of hCG in serum and the qualitative detection of hCG in urine. This test is to be used for the early detection of pregnancy.

Physiologic Basis for the Assay:

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the trophoblastic cells of the developing placenta as early as 7 to 8 days after ovulation. This hormone stimulates the production of progesterone and estradiol which are required to sustain pregnancy. In normal pregnancy, serum levels of hCG continue to rise during the first trimester to levels as high as 100,000 mIU/mL. Serum hCG is rapidly cleared in the urine and the concentration of hCG in serum is approximately equal to the concentration in urine. HCG is an excellent indicator of pregnancy early in the gestational period.

1

Principle of the Test:

Serum or urine is added to the Sample Well on the Test Cassette. Shortly after addition of the sample, a blue procedural Control Line will appear in the Result Window. If hCG is present in the sample, a pink-to-purple Test Line will also appear. If hCG is not present, only the blue procedural Control Line will appear.

Serum results are interpreted by comparing the color development of the Test Line with a Reference Line. Serum results are reported as negative, positive less than 25 mIU/ml or positive greater than 25 mIU/mL. Urine results are interpreted as negative or positive.

Safety and Effectiveness:

Numerous studies were undertaken to document the performance characteristics and the substantial equivalence of the test to other commercially available products for the detection of hCG in serum or urine. These studies included the following:

  • · The test was shown to be similar to other commercially distributed in vitro tests in terms of features and intended use.
