Device Description
ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip (Urine) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid for the early detection of pregnancy. The test utilizes a combination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of hCG. The assay is conducted by immersing the test strip in the urine sample and observing for the formation of colored lines. The specimen migrates via capillary action along the membrane to react with the colored conjugate. Positive specimens react with the specific antibody-hCG-colored conjugate and form a colored line in the Test Area of the membrane. Absence of this colored line suggests a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a colored line in the Control Area will always appear regardless of the presence or absence of hCG.

No
The device description details a traditional immunoassay based on antibody reactions and visual interpretation of colored lines, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or machine learning.

No
The device is a diagnostic tool for pregnancy detection, not a treatment or therapeutic intervention.

Yes
The device is described as an "immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid for the early detection of pregnancy." This directly indicates its use in diagnosing pregnancy, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical test strip that utilizes chemical reactions and capillary action to detect hCG. This involves hardware components (the strip itself, membrane, antibodies, etc.) and is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid for the early detection of pregnancy." This is a test performed on a biological sample (urine) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state (pregnancy).
  • Device Description: The description details a "rapid chromatographic immunoassay" that utilizes antibodies to detect a substance (hCG) in a biological specimen (urine). This is a common method used in IVD tests.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing urine specimens and comparing the results to another commercially available urine test. This is typical for validating the performance of an IVD.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue, taken from the human body, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip fits this definition perfectly.

A multi-center clinical evaluation was conducted comparing the results obtained using ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip (Urine) and another commercially available urine membrane test. The study included 150 urine specimens tested with both assays.

Summary of Performance Studies

A multi-center clinical evaluation was conducted comparing the results obtained using ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip (Urine) and another commercially available urine membrane test. The study included 150 urine specimens tested with both assays. ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip (Urine) showed a 100% concordance with the other commercially available test. ACON™ One Step Pregnancy Test Strip (Urine) detects hCG concentrations of 25 mIU/ml and greater. The test has been standardized to the World Health Organization Third International Standard. The addition of hLH (300mUl/ml, hFSH (1000 mIU/ml), and hTSH (1000μIUml) to negative and positive serum and urine specimens showed no cross-reactivity.
