Intended Use
BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Home predicator test is a solid phase immunoassay in vitro diagnostic test kit. It is intended for over the counter use for the qualitative determination of leutinizing hormone (LH) in urine. This test kit is utilized to determine when the female body will ovulate, the most likely time for conception to occur.
Device Description
BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Prediction test is a Syntron Bioresearch, Inc. name for OTC use of solid phase immunoassay in vitro diagnostic test kit for the qualitative determination of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine. BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Prediction test is based on comparative data with BeSure OneStep Ovulation Predictor test, a qualitative test for the determination of Luteinizing hormone currently being marketed by Syntron Bioresearch, Inc. The BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Prediction Test is a sandwich solid phase dye-conjugate non-enzyme immunoassay. As the urine specimen is added to the reaction device, the gold-sol-anti-B LH antibody conjugate binds to the LH that exists in the urine specimen forming an antibody-antigen complex. This complex then migrates to the positive reaction zone and a LH antibody that is immobilized there by forming an antibody-antibody dye conjugate sandwich, which produces a rose-pink color band. In the absence of LH, there is no rose-pink color band that appears in the positive reaction zone. The remaining dye continues to flow up the absorbent device by passing through the positive reaction zone. This produces a rose-pink color band in the control reaction zone as immobilized antibody captures the unbound dye conjugate, demonstrating that the reagents and device are functioning correctly. This working principle can also be applied for the BeSure OneStep Ovulation Prediction test.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies describe a standard immunoassay test kit that relies on chemical reactions and visual interpretation of color bands, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test for determining when ovulation will occur, not a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a condition.

Yes

The Intended Use section clearly states that the device is "an in vitro diagnostic test kit" and is used for the "qualitative determination of leutinizing hormone (LH) in urine" to "determine when the female body will ovulate," which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "solid phase immunoassay in vitro diagnostic test kit" and describes a physical test strip with chemical reactions and color bands, indicating it is a hardware-based device.

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

The document explicitly states in the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section:

"BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Home predicator test is a solid phase immunoassay in vitro diagnostic test kit."

And again in the "Device Description" section:

"BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation Prediction test is a Syntron Bioresearch, Inc. name for OTC use of solid phase immunoassay in vitro diagnostic test kit for the qualitative determination of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine."

These statements clearly identify the device as an in vitro diagnostic test kit.

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

Test results obtained by 100 consumers using BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation home test. The results were further confirmed by having the laboratory technicians assay the patient's urine to determine the amount of LH for every testing day by using Syntron's Quantitative LH EIA test (K871602/A). In this study, the laboratory technicians did not know the outcome of the consumer's test results.

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

Test results obtained by 100 consumers using BeSure Plus OneStep Ovulation home test showed a 99% correlation with results independently obtained by laboratory technicians using other commercially available onestep ovulation test. The results were further confirmed by having the laboratory technicians assay the patient's urine to determine the amount of LH for every testing day by using Syntron's Quantitative LH EIA test (K871602/A). The data obtained from the LH EIA test (Syntron) indicated that LH concentration equal or greater than 30 mIU/ml exhibits LH concentration less than 30 mIU/ml exhibits no surge in BeSure Plus OneStep ovulation test, which is comparable to other commercially available onestep ovulation test kit (K951538). These results show that nontechnical users of BeSure Plus OneStep home Ovulation Predictor Kits are able to detect the onset of the LH surge with precision comparable to that obtained by a reference immunoassay performed by trained laboratory technicians.
