Device Description
ACON™ hCG One Step Pregnancy Test Device (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 adding specimen to the test device 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 rapid chromatographic immunoassay based on antibody reactions and capillary action, with no mention of computational analysis, algorithms, or learning processes.

No
A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is purely diagnostic, as it only detects hCG for early pregnancy detection and does not provide any treatment.

Yes
The device is described as an "aid for the early detection of pregnancy," which involves detecting the presence of hCG to diagnose a biological condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical test device that utilizes chromatographic immunoassay and involves adding a specimen to the device and observing for colored lines. This indicates a hardware component is essential to the device's function.

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 involves testing a biological sample (urine) in vitro (outside the body) to gain 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 specimen (urine). This is a classic description of an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing urine specimens and comparing the results to another commercially available urine test. This further confirms its function as a diagnostic tool analyzing biological samples.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device generally includes reagents, instruments, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. Detecting hCG in urine to aid in the early detection of pregnancy fits this definition.
