Nitrite identification is used for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. ## Device Story Reagent strip test for detection of nitrite in urine; indicates presence of organisms associated with urinary tract infections. Principle: chemical reaction where nitrite in urine reacts with arsanilic acid to form a diazonium salt, which couples with N-1-naphthylethylendiamine dihydrochloride to produce a pink-red color change. Used by professional clinicians and lay users (home/point-of-care). Visual color comparison against a reference chart provides qualitative results. Positive result suggests presence of nitrite-producing bacteria, aiding clinical decision-making for UTI diagnosis. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical trial compared UriTest to Bayer Multistix. Professional user study (n=101): 100% sensitivity, 91.76% specificity, 93.07% accuracy. Lay user study (n=101): 100% sensitivity, 89.41% specificity, 91.09% accuracy. Spiked sample study (n=33) showed 100% agreement with predicate. ## Technological Characteristics Reagent strip impregnated with 25% w/w Arsanilic Acid, 10% w/w N-1-Naphthylethylendiamine Dihydrochloride, and 65% w/w Tartaric Acid. Colorimetric detection principle. Manual visual interpretation. ## Regulatory Identification A nitrite (nonquantitative) test system is a device intended to identify nitrite in urine. Nitrite identification is used in the diagnosis and treatment of uninary tract infection of bacterial origin. ## Predicate Devices - MULTISTIX- Reagent Strip for Urinalysis (Bayer Diagnostics) - CHEMSTRIP - Urine Test Strip (Boehringer Mannheim) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

POMPANO BEACH, FL 33069 **CORRESPONDENT:** MDC ASSOCIATES Fran White Regulatory Consultant 15 Oak Street Beverly Farms, Ma 01915 **SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT DEVICES:** Product: MULTISTIX- Reagent Strip for Urinalysis Manufactured by: Bayer Diagnostics Product: CHEMSTRIP - Urine Test Strip Manufactured by: Boehringer Mannheim **PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:** UriTest - Nitrite in Urine is a reagent strip test used to measure the presence of Nitrite in urine. Nitrite is produced by most organisms commonly associated with urinary tract infection. Nitrite is used to detect urinary tract infection. **INTENDED USE:** UriTest- Nitrite in Urine is a nonquantitative test to identify nitrite in urine. Nitrite identification is used for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. {1} # SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY: Like the predicate device, UriTest Nitrite in Urine test strips are impregnated with the appropriate chemicals (25% w/w Arsanilic Acid, 10% w/w N-1-Naphthylethylendiamine Dihydrochloride, 65% w/w Tartaric Acid). Nitrite if present in patient urine reacts with amine to give an diazonium salt, which couples sulfanilamide to yield a positive pink - red reaction. # PERFORMANCE DATA: A clinical trial was done to compare the performance of the UriTest to the Bayer Multistix. These data clearly demonstrate that the performance of the Uritest is substantially equivalent to the predicate device; Bayer Multistix. Bayer vs. UriTest (Professional User) | | Bayer + | Bayer - | | --- | --- | --- | | TCPI + | 16 | 7 | | TCPI - | 0 | 78 | Sensitivity = 100.00% Specificity = 91.76% Accuracy = 93.07% Bayer vs. UriTest (Lay User) | | Bayer + | Bayer - | | --- | --- | --- | | TCPI + | 16 | 9 | | TCPI - | 0 | 76 | Sensitivity = 100.00% Specificity = 89.41% Accuracy = 91.09% {2} To assure a sufficient number of positive specimens, a urine sample was spiked with bacteria. Spiked specimens were tested with both the UriTest - Nitrite in Urine and the Bayer Multistix. 100% agreement was observed. ## Spiked Samples | | Bayer + | Bayer - | | --- | --- | --- | | TCPI + | 33 | 0 | | TCPI - | 0 | 0 | Sensitivity = 100.00% Specificity = Not Valid Accuracy = 100.00% ## STATEMENT OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY: When compared to a Bayer Multistix and performed by untrained consumers, the product performance was as follows: Sensitivity - 100% Specificity - 89% Accuracy - 90% These data clearly demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Uri-Test-Nitrite in Urine.
