Intended Use
The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, an under various private labels as One Step Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor.
Device Description
The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, an under various private labels as One Step Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor. The technological characteristics are the same because both devices are One-step urine tests that measure LH immunochromatographically, and have the same safety and effectiveness.
More Information

No
The description focuses on immunochromatographic measurement of LH and does not mention any computational or learning-based methods.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test used to predict ovulation, which aids in conception. It does not directly treat or cure any medical condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation," and that it is an "in vitro diagnostic use" device. The "Device Description" also reiterates that it is "used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation" and is for "in vitro diagnostic use." These phrases confirm its role in diagnosing or aiding in the prediction of a biological state (ovulation).

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "One-step urine test" and mentions "immunochromatographically," indicating a physical test strip or similar hardware component is involved in the measurement of LH. This is not a software-only device.

Yes, based on the provided text, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home."
  • Definition of IVD: An IVD is a medical device used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device analyzes urine to detect LH, which fits this definition.
  • "In vitro diagnostic use" mentioned multiple times: The phrase "in vitro diagnostic use" is repeated in both the "Intended Use" and "Device Description" sections, reinforcing its classification.

Summary Prepared:

April 19, 1999

Name of the device:

Early Ovulation Predictor (stick) One Step Ovulation Predictor (stick) Ovulation Predictor (stick)

Classification name(s):

Ovulation Predictor (stick) is a Class I device (21 CFR § 862.1485) for home use

Classification of predicate device(s):

The Ovulation Predictor test is not materially different from the predicate ClearPlan® Easy ovulation tests that are manufactured by Unipath. Ltd., Bedford, UK. and were cleared for use in the United States by K981271 and K894579. Section 6 contains information comparing the new device Ovulation Predictor , to the predicate device, ClearPlan® Easy.

Description of the device/intended use(s):

The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, an under various private labels as One Step Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor.

Statement of How the Technological Characteristics of the Device Compare to the Predicate device:

The technological characteristics are the same because both devices are One-step urine tests that measure LH immunochromatographically, and have the same safety and effectiveness. They have the same intended use, i.e. use by women as an aid in conception. The new device is intended to be used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine. The Ovulation Predictor is intended for use by women outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) as an aid to conception.

Summary of Performance Data:

Laboratory and clinical studies tests demonstrate that Ovulation Predictor (stick) provides equivalent performance to the ClearPlan® Easy ovulation test.

Both devices are 99% accurate.

Dear Ms. Adiletto:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
