The device description and performance studies focus on a traditional immunochromatographic assay and do not mention any AI or ML components.
No.
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) device intended to aid in diagnosis, not to provide therapy.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to aid in the presumptive diagnosis of pneumococcal pneumonia." This directly indicates its role as a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical immunochromatographic assay with a test strip, swab well, and reagent, indicating it is a hardware-based diagnostic test, not software only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is "for the detection of S. pneumoniae antigen in urine specimens from patients with symptoms of pneumonia." This indicates it is used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a "rapid immunochromatographic assay" that detects "S. pneumoniae antigen in human urine." This is a laboratory test performed on a biological sample outside of the body.
- Performance Studies: The document includes detailed performance studies (Analytic Sensitivity, Analytic Specificity, Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity) which are characteristic of IVD devices demonstrating their analytical and clinical performance.
- Key Metrics: The inclusion of metrics like Sensitivity, Specificity, and Accuracy are standard for evaluating the performance of diagnostic tests.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K854852; Wellcogen Bacterial Antigen Kit) strongly suggests this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, a common practice in the regulatory pathway for IVDs.
All of these elements align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Binax Now Streptococcus pneumoniae: The Antigen Test is a urinary immunochromatographic membrane assay used to detect pneumoniae (S. Streptococcus detect pneumoniae) antigen in human urine. A test containing gold-conjugated and strip, immobilized anti-S. pneumoniae antibodies, and a swab well are mounted on opposite sides of a cardboard, book-shaped hinged test device. A swab is dipped into the urine to be tested and then inserted into the swab well. A single reagent is added to the swab well from a dropper bottle before device. Pneumococcal the test closing antigen present in the urine sample reacts bind anti-S. pneumoniae conjugated to antibody. The resulting antigen-conjugate complexes are captured by immobilized anti-S. pneumoniae antibody, forming the Sample Line. Immobilized goat anti-rabbit IgG captures excess visualizing conjugate, forming the Control Line.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Analytic Sensitivity:
Forty-four (44) isolates representing 23 known Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes were grown in culture and assayed in the Binax NOW test at a concentration of 10^6 organisms/mL. 100% were positive, indicating that the Binax NOW test detects the most pathogenic S. pneumoniae serotypes.
Analytic Specificity (Cross-Reactivity):
144 potential cross-reactants were grown in culture and tested in the Binax NOW® test. The cross-reactant panel included organisms associated with pneumonia as well as those likely to be found in the urogenital tract. The Binax NOW test does not cross-react with 143 of the 144 organisms when tested at concentrations of 10^6 to 10^8 CFU/mL. The single positive organism was Streptococcus mitis, an expected cross-reactant.
Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity:
- Retrospective Study: 35 urine specimens from blood culture positive pneumococcal pneumonia patients and 338 urine specimens from presumed S. pneumoniae negative patients were evaluated.
- Sensitivity = 86% (70.9% - 93.9% CI)
- Specificity = 94% (90.9% - 96.0% CI)
- Overall Accuracy = 93% (89.9% - 95.1% CI)
- Multi-center Prospective Study: 215 urine specimens from hospitalized or out-patients with lower respiratory symptoms or sepsis suspected of pneumococcal pneumonia. Confirmatory blood specimen collected within 24 hours of NOW test, then cultured.
- Sensitivity = 90% (74.6% - 96.4% CI)
- Specificity = 75% (69.3% - 81.5% CI)
- Overall Accuracy = 77% (71.9% - 83.0% CI)
Interfering Substances:
Nineteen (19) urine specimens were found not to cross-react with potentially interfering substances. 20 specimens with elevated levels of white blood cells, protein, and/or glucose, 3 with high turbidity, and 5 normal specimens were tested. 28 specimens with elevated red blood cells could not be interpreted due to extreme coloration.
Pneumococcal Vaccine:
The impact of S. pneumoniae vaccine on Binax NOW test performance was evaluated with Lederle Pnu-Immune® vaccine. All study participants tested negative before vaccination. 13% (133 participants) tested positive within 30 hours of being vaccinated, but again tested negative within 48 hours of vaccination.
Reproducibility:
A blind study conducted at 3 separate sites using a panel of coded specimens (negative, low positive, moderate positive and high positive urine controls). 99.4% of the participants performed and correctly interpreted the test over two different days.
Quality Control:
The ability of the Binax NOW® Test procedural control to indicate test failure was evaluated by 3 operators running 200 kit controls in a panel of 20 devices where failure had been rendered but the defect was not apparent to the operator.
Preliminary Stability:
Preliminary Stability studies of the Binax NOW Streptococcus pneumoniae Urinary Antigen Test and kit controls are ongoing. Results are consistent with other 510(k) cleared ICTs.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
Retrospective Study:
- Sensitivity = 86% (70.9% - 93.9% CI)

Analytic Sensitivity:
Twenty-three (23) of 83 known Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes are responsible for at least 90% of serious pneumococcal infection worldwide. I Forty-four (44) isolates representing these 23 serotypes and one additional serotype were grown in culture and assayed in the Binax NOW test at a concentration of 10° organisms/mL. One hundred percent (100%) were positive, indicating that the Binax NOW test detects the most pathogenic S. pneumoniae serotypes.
Analytic Specificity (Cross-Reactivity) :
To demonstrate the immunologic specificity of the Binax NOW test, 144 potential cross-reactants were grown in culture and tested in the Binax NOW® test. The cross-reactant panel included organisms associated with pneumonia as well as those likely to be found in the urogenital tract as normal flora or as a result of urinary The Binax NOW test does not cross-react with 143 tract infection. of the 144 organisms when tested at concentrations of 10° to 10° The single positive organism, Streptococcus mitis, is an CFU/mL. expected cross-reactant as is shares the antigen against which the Binax NOW test is directed. Streptococcus mitis is associated with endocarditis, not pneumonia, and is not likely to appear with any frequency in the population intended to be tested with the NOW test.la
Clinical Sensitivity and Specificity:
The Binax NOW Streptococcus pneumoniae Urinary Antigen Test was evaluated in both prospective and retrospective clinical studies.
In the retrospective study, 35 urine specimens from blood culture positive pneumococcal pneumonia patients and 338 urine specimens from presumed S. pneumoniae negative patients were evaluated in the NOW test. Of the presumed negative urines, 28 were collected from bacteremic patients, 4 from patients with empyema, 53 from patients with pneumonia, 153 from patients with urinary tract infections, and 100 from patients with no known infection. Binax NOW test performance, calculated using standard methods, was 86% sensitivity, 94% specificity, and 93% overall accuracy. Ninetyfive percent (95%) confidence intervals are listed below.
