The FIRST RESPONSE® One-Step Digital Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device that incorporates a digital read out of the test result for the early detection of pregnancy (hCG in urine) by the lay user prior to the expected menses

The FIRST RESPONSE® One-Step Digital Pregnancy Test is a human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test system. It is a device intended for use by the lay user in the early detection of pregnancy by the detection of hCG, a placental hormone in urine. The FIRST RESPONSE® One-Step Digital Pregnancy Test labeling provides for the use of the test as early as three (3) days before the expected period. [Refer to K992232.] The device detects the presence of hCG in the urine of a pregnant woman by way of a series of immunochemical reactions via component reagents that are striped onto a chromatographic strip contained within a plastic housing, which is integral with the digital component that reads and displays. the result of the immunochemical reaction on the Display Screen of the device housing, as opposed to an analog display of the predicate device. The immunochemical reagents that are striped onto a chromatographic strip are unchanged from the predicate FIRST RESPONSE® One-Step Pregnancy Test.

Following the instructions for use provided with the device, the test is performed by placing the Absorbent Tip into the urine stream (alternatively a cup of urine may be used) for 5 seconds, then allowing the test to continue for 3 minutes. During this time, a blinking clock icon appears on the Display Screen of the device housing to indicate that the test is working. After the elapse of 3 minutes, a digital display of the result appears on the Display Screen: a "YES+" test result indicates that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was detected (pregnant); a "-- NO" test result indicates that the pregnancy hormone (hCG) was not detected (not pregnant). A " ? " (question mark) appears when a test error has occurred.

This document describes the FIRST RESPONSE® One-Step Digital Pregnancy Test (K040866). While it provides details on the device, its intended use, and technological characteristics, it does not contain the specific acceptance criteria or the study data that proves the device meets those criteria.

Therefore, I cannot directly provide the requested table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, nor can I answer questions about sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set details from the provided text.

The document mainly focuses on the 510(k) summary, which outlines the device's substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and the FDA's clearance letter. This type of regulatory submission summarizes the device and its intended use but typically does not include the detailed study protocols, results, and acceptance criteria that would be found in a full clinical or performance study report.

To answer your request, I would need access to the actual performance study report, which is not included in the provided snippets.

Ask a specific question about this device

The FIRST RESPONSE® 1-Step Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device intended for the early detection of pregnancy by the lay user up to four (4) days prior to the expected menses

The device detects the presence of hCG in the urine of a pregnant woman by a series of immunochemical reactions via component reagents striped onto a chromatographic strip contained within plastic housing.

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the FIRST RESPONSE® Pregnancy Test, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in the typical format of a performance study (e.g., "sensitivity must be > X%"). Instead, the acceptance criterion for this 510(k) essentially revolved around demonstrating that the device could reliably detect hCG earlier than its predicate while maintaining comparable performance.

The reported device performance is described in terms of its ability to detect hCG at various days before the expected period. While specific percentages are mentioned, they are presented as a revision/reinterpretation of existing data rather than new study outcomes against defined criteria.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

• Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state a sample size for a new test set in this 510(k) submission. It mentions that the sponsor "reinterpreted the same data provided in K992232." Therefore, the test set data originates from the studies performed for the predicate device, K992232.
• Data Provenance: The data is retrospective as it was previously acquired for K992232 and re-analyzed for the current submission. The country of origin is not specified in this document.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

• Number of Experts: This information is not provided in the document.
• Qualifications of Experts: This information is not provided in the document. Given the nature of a pregnancy test (detecting hCG in urine), ground truth would typically be established by confirmed pregnancy outcomes or quantitative laboratory hCG levels, rather than interpretation by clinical experts in the traditional sense.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

• The document does not specify an adjudication method. For a qualitative pregnancy test, ground truth is usually established by objective criteria (e.g., quantitative hCG levels, subsequent pregnancy confirmation), rather than subjective expert adjudication of the test result itself.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

• No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done as described in this document. The device is an in vitro diagnostic test, not an imaging or interpretive device that typically involves human readers in the same way clinical algorithms do. The "consumer study data" mentioned from the predicate (K992232) might refer to usability or non-expert interpretation, but not a formal MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance:

• Yes, this submission describes standalone performance. The device itself is a standalone, over-the-counter diagnostic test that provides a result without requiring human interpretation beyond reading the result line(s). The performance data cited relates directly to the device's ability to detect hCG. There is no "human-in-the-loop" aspect to its primary function of detection.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

• The ground truth used was based on quantitative hCG levels and likely confirmed pregnancy outcomes (as implied by "percentage of women in which the device detected the hormone X days before... expected period" and "conceptive cycles"). The predicate test's claims were based on "the percentage of cycles having quantitative hCG levels approximating the claimed sensitivity level or greater."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

• The document does not provide a specific sample size for a training set. Since this submission reinterpreted data from a prior 510(k) (K992232), any "training" or development data would have originated from that earlier submission, and its details are not present here.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

• Similar to the test set, the ground truth for any underlying development/training from the K992232 submission would have been established by quantitative hCG levels and/or confirmed pregnancy outcomes. The text specifically mentions "hCG levels approximating the claimed sensitivity level or greater."

The TROJAN® MINT TINGLE™ Latex Condom is used for contraception and for prophylactic purposes (to help reduce the risk of pregnancy and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, STDs).

The TROJAN® MINT TINGLE™ Brand Latex Condom is a male condom consisting of a sheath of natural rubber latex with a colored pigment and a flavored water-based lubricant. The condom is a straight-walled, nipple-end condom with a nominal length of 180 mm and an approximate width of 52 mm.

This document is a 510(k) summary for a TROJAN® MINT TINGLE™ Brand Latex Condom, seeking clearance from the FDA. It does not include acceptance criteria or the study details you've requested. The 510(k) process is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, not for proving a device meets specific performance criteria through new studies in the same way a PMA (Premarket Approval) might require.

Therefore, I cannot provide the information you asked for based on the provided text, as it is not present in this 510(k) summary. I can only confirm that this document pertains to a condom and its intended uses for contraception and STD prevention, and that it was deemed substantially equivalent to a predicate device.

To give you the information you're looking for, the document would need to include details about:

1. Specific performance tests conducted (e.g., burst strength, leak test, freedom from holes, dimensions).
2. Quantitative acceptance criteria for these tests (e.g., "99.9% freedom from holes").
3. The actual results from testing the TROJAN® MINT TINGLE™ condom against these criteria.
4. Sample sizes used for these performance tests.
5. Ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, and details about MRMC or standalone studies are generally not relevant for 510(k) submissions of devices like condoms, as they typically don't involve algorithms or image analysis. Their performance is assessed through physical and mechanical property testing and adherence to standards like ASTM D-3492-97.

The TROJAN® PASSION BERRY™ Gel patient lubricant is a device intended for medical purposes that is used to lubricate a body orifice to facilitate entry of a diagnostic or therapeutic device. The TROJAN® PASSION BERRY™ Gel is principally designed to help enhance the sexual experience by providing supplemental vaginal lubrication during sexual intercourse. The TROJAN® PASSION BERRY™ Gel may be used with condoms.

The TROJAN® PASSION BERRYTM Gel personal lubricant is formulated as a clear, high viscosity gel with a pink color and lubricant is lonnalise as agrance and packaged in a clear plastic 2.5 oz. tube.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary and an FDA clearance letter for a personal lubricant. It does NOT contain information about a study with acceptance criteria and device performance as typically understood for AI/ML medical devices. The document explains that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, which is the basis for its clearance, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical or algorithmic study.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as it pertains to AI/ML device studies, acceptance criteria, and ground truth establishment, because the provided input document does not contain this information.

Specifically, the document focuses on:

• Predicate Device Equivalence: The primary method for clearance is demonstrating substantial equivalence to pre-amendment devices or previously cleared devices (H•R® Lubricating Jelly and TROJAN® FOR WOMEN Personal Lubricant). This typically involves comparing characteristics like intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and effectiveness profiles, rather than setting and meeting performance metrics from a new study.
• Device Description and Intended Use: Information is provided on the physical properties and intended use (supplemental vaginal lubrication during sexual intercourse, compatible with condoms).
• Regulatory Classification: The device is classified under 21 CFR §884.5300 as a Condom (later reclassified as Patient Lubricant [21 CFR §880.6375] in the summary).

The request's points, such as "sample size used for the test set," "number of experts used to establish the ground truth," "adjudication method," "multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study," and "standalone performance," are all highly relevant to the evaluation of AI/ML-driven medical devices. However, this type of data is not applicable to the clearance pathway described in the provided document for a personal lubricant.

The TROJAN® CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid is principally designed to help enhance the sexual experience by providing supplemental vaginal lubrication during sexual intercourse. The TROJAN® CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid may be used with condoms. The TROJAN CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid patient lubricant is a device intended for medical purposes that is used to lubricate a body orifice to facilitate entry of a diagnostic or therapeutic device.

The TROJAN® CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid personal lubricant is a water-soluble, greaseless, unscented, clear, colorless liquid, 2.1 oz of which is packaged in a clear plastic bottle.

The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a personal lubricant (TROJAN® CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid). This type of regulatory submission in the medical device field typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information required to answer your questions regarding acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, or MRMC studies.

Here's why the requested information is not present based on the provided text:

• Acceptance Criteria & Device Performance: For a personal lubricant, the primary "performance" relates to its physical and chemical properties (e.g., pH, viscosity, osmolality) and biocompatibility, as well as its ability to provide lubrication. The document states "There are no exceptional technological characteristics associated with TROJAN® CRYSTAL CLEAR Liquid." and compares its formulation to "conventional water-soluble lubricant bases" and predicate devices. It does not provide a table of performance metrics or acceptance criteria for these characteristics.
• Study That Proves Device Meets Acceptance Criteria: The submission is a 510(k) for substantial equivalence. This means the manufacturer is arguing their new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device (H·R® Lubricating Jelly and TROJAN® FOR WOMEN Personal Lubricant). It does not typically involve a clinical study designed to demonstrate performance against specific, pre-defined acceptance criteria.
• Sample Size, Data Provenance, Experts, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone, Ground Truth, Training Set: These are all elements typically found in clinical studies, particularly for diagnostic devices or those requiring complex performance evaluation. A lubricant does not necessitate such studies for a 510(k) submission. The "study" here is essentially a comparison of the new lubricant's formulation and intended use to existing, legally marketed lubricants, demonstrating similarity rather than novel performance.

The First Response® 1-Step Pregnancy Test is an at-home pregnancy test marketed over-the-counter (OTC) to lay consumers. The First Response® I-Step Pregnancy Test detects the presence of hCG in the urine as an aid in the carly diagnosis of pregnancy. The test, which can be used anytime of the day, can detect hCG as early as three days before the expected period.

The First Response®1-Step Pregnancy Test is a Class II in vitro diagnostic medical device product that functions by way of a double antibody immunochromatographic assay in detecting the presence of hCG in the urine as an aid in the early diagnosis of pregnancy. It consists of a plastic stick, which contains an absorbent tip that protrudes from the end of the device and collects and delivers urine to reagents on a chromatographic strip contained within the device. The test is performed by placing the absorbent tip of the device in the urine stream for 5 seconds or by immersing the absorbent tip into a container of urine for 5 seconds. The absorbent section of the strip allows the urine sample to move chromatographically along the reagent strip reconstituting the diffusible reagents placed strategically along the strip and delivering them to the appropriate capture zones for visualization of the test results. The detection of hCG (pregnant) in the urine sample is indicated by the appearance of two pink lines in the test window. If there is no hCG (not-pregnant) in the urine, one pink line will appear.

The acceptance criteria for the First Response® 1-Step Pregnancy Test and the studies proving it meets these criteria are described below:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size and Data Provenance

• Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in the provided text for individual studies.
• Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but the studies were conducted by Carter-Wallace, Inc., in the United States.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

• Not applicable as the ground truth was established through laboratory testing for clinical sensitivity and consumer studies for user performance and comprehension, rather than expert consensus on diagnostic images or conditions.

4. Adjudication Method

• Not applicable for the types of studies described. Clinical sensitivity would rely on laboratory reference methods, and consumer studies would involve direct observation and survey results.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

• No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned. The studies focused on the device's standalone performance and consumer interaction rather than comparing human readers with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

• Yes, standalone performance studies were done. The text describes a laboratory study to evaluate and confirm the clinical sensitivity of the First Response® 1-Step Pregnancy Test using samples collected prior to missed menses. This assesses the device's ability to detect hCG independently. Additionally, consumer accuracy in reading low levels of hCG suggests a standalone assessment of the device's output interpretation by users.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

• Clinical Sensitivity: Likely laboratory reference methods for hCG detection (e.g., quantitative serum hCG assays) or established clinical diagnosis of pregnancy.
• Consumer Accuracy/Performance/Comprehension: Actual presence or absence of hCG in urine samples (for accuracy) and direct observation or survey responses regarding user actions and understanding.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

• Not applicable. This device is an in-vitro diagnostic test, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires a training set.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

• Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

The TBD One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test is an at-home in vitro diagnostic use test to be marketed over-the-counter (OTC) to lay consumers. The test device product is intended for the detection of human luteinizing hormone (hLH) in urine as an aid in the prediction of ovulation.

The TBD One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test is a simple to use, plastic stick, in vitro device. The top of the stick is clear to allow the user to visualize the migration of the test reagents. The stick contains a chromatographic test strip which has all the necessary reagents to perform the test. An absorbent tip collects and delivers the urine sample to the reagents on the chromatographic strip. The test is performed by placing the absorbent tip into the urine stream for 5 seconds. Alternatively, the test may be performed by immersing the absorbent tip into a container of urine for 5 seconds. The urine sample from the absorbent tip migrates by capillary action along the chromatographic strip, reconstituting the reagents placed strategically along the strip. Visualization of the test results occurs when the appropriate reagents react producing one or two pink-purple lines which appear in a window in the hull of the test stick. The luteinizing hormone (LH) surge is indicated if the test line is similar to or darker than the reference line. If there is no test line or the test line is lighter than the reference line, then there has been no LH surge.

The provided text describes the TBD One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test and its similarity to a predicate device. However, it does not include detailed acceptance criteria or the specific study that would directly prove the device meets these criteria in the format requested.

Here's an analysis based on the information available in the text, highlighting what is missing for a complete answer to your request:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document broadly states that the TBD One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test was found to have "equivalent performance to that of the predicate device" in a direct laboratory comparison, and in consumer use studies, it was "at least as accurate as the predicate device with regard to consumers' accuracy in performing the test."

Missing Information:

• Specific quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy thresholds).
• Detailed quantitative performance metrics for the TBD One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test.
• Quantitative performance metrics for the predicate device to compare against.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document mentions "direct laboratory comparison" and "consumer use studies."

Missing Information:

• Sample Size: The number of participants or samples used in these studies is not specified.
• Data Provenance: The country of origin of the data is not mentioned. It is implied that the studies were conducted by Carter-Wallace, Inc., an American company. The description refers to "consumer use studies," which suggests prospective data collection, but this is not explicitly stated. It's unclear if any retrospective data was used.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

The document does not mention the involvement of experts in establishing ground truth for the performance studies. Since it's an at-home ovulation predictor test intended for lay consumers, the "accuracy in performing the test" likely refers to the consumers' ability to correctly interpret the results based on the package inserts, rather than expert interpretation of complex clinical data.

Missing Information:

• Details on expert involvement in establishing ground truth are entirely absent.

4. Adjudication Method:

Given the nature of an at-home ovulation test, the concept of an adjudication method as typically applied to expert review of medical images or complex diagnoses is not directly applicable or described.

Missing Information:

• No adjudication method is mentioned or implied.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

An MRMC study is not relevant to this type of device (an at-home diagnostic test for a single user).

Missing Information:

• An MRMC study was not conducted or described.

6. Standalone Performance:

The "direct laboratory comparison" and "consumer use studies" would likely represent the standalone performance of the device as it would be used by consumers, without human-in-the-loop assistance beyond the consumer following instructions.

Missing Information:

• While implied, the term "standalone performance" isn't explicitly used, and specific metrics for this are absent (as noted in point 1).

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth for an ovulation predictor test would typically involve confirming actual ovulation, likely through other clinical methods (e.g., daily blood hormone levels, ultrasound). However, the document focuses on the prediction of the LH surge and refers to "consumers' accuracy in performing the test." This suggests the ground truth for consumer studies might be tied to how well users followed instructions and achieved a correct reading. For the "direct laboratory comparison," the ground truth for LH levels would be laboratory-measured LH concentrations.

Missing Information:

• The exact method for establishing ground truth (e.g., comparison against a gold standard lab assay, confirmation of actual ovulation through other means) for the performance studies is not explicitly detailed.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The concept of a "training set" applies to machine learning algorithms. This device is a biochemical in-vitro diagnostic test, not an AI or machine learning product. Therefore, there wouldn't be a training set in that context.

Missing Information:

• Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

As above, this is not an AI/ML device, so a training set and its associated ground truth establishment are not applicable.

Missing Information:

• Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device.

In summary, the provided text serves as a 510(k) summary demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, focusing on technological characteristics and overall performance claims ("equivalent performance," "at least as accurate"). It lacks the granular detail about specific study designs, acceptance criteria, and quantitative results that would be expected in a comprehensive study report to fulfill all aspects of your requested information.

The detection of hCG (pregnant) in the urine sample is indicated by the appearance of two pink lines in the test window. If there is no hCG (not-pregnant) in the urine, one pink line will appear.

Here's an analysis of the provided 510(k) summary regarding the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the "Brand Name 1-Step Pregnancy Test":

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided document details various performance studies but does not explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria for sensitivity, specificity, or agreement. Instead, it describes general objectives and outcomes. However, it implicitly demonstrates that the device met the criteria for substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for the test sets in any of the described studies (laboratory accuracy, sensitivity, or consumer use).

Regarding data provenance, the studies are described as "laboratory studies" and "studies" evaluating consumer ability. Given the context of a 510(k) submission for a new product, these would almost certainly be prospective studies conducted specifically for this submission. The document does not mention the country of origin of the data, but
given the submitter is Carter-Wallace in Cranbury, New Jersey, it is highly probable the
studies were conducted in the United States.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

The document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth in the laboratory studies. For a hCG test, the ground truth for positive/negative results would typically be established by:

• Quantitative laboratory assays: Using a highly accurate reference method to measure hCG levels.
• Clinical assessment: In some cases, confirming pregnancy status through other clinical means (though less common for in vitro diagnostic ground truth).

For the consumer studies, the "ground truth" for the interpretation ability would be derived from comparison to the device's actual performance (i.e., whether the consumer's interpretation matched the correct result as determined by the laboratory).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test sets. For IVD devices like pregnancy tests, adjudication among human readers or experts is less common for establishing the analytical ground truth (presence or absence of hCG) as the results are typically objectively measured by quantitative methods. However, for the consumer interpretation studies, it's possible internal protocols were used to resolve discrepancies if consumers disagreed on the interpretation of a test result, but this is not detailed.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes laboratory studies comparing the new device to a predicate device, and consumer studies to assess user interpretation. These are not MRMC studies designed to assess the improvement of human readers with AI assistance, as this is a standalone diagnostic test, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, a form of standalone performance was assessed. The "Brand Name 1-Step Pregnancy Test" is an in vitro diagnostic device, not an algorithm. Its "standalone" performance refers to its ability to detect hCG accurately on its own. The laboratory studies ("evaluation of the laboratory accuracy" and "evaluate and confirm the sensitivity") directly assess this standalone performance – how well the device itself, without human interpretation of ambiguous signals, determines the presence or absence of hCG. The consumer studies then assess the "human-in-the-loop" aspect: whether lay users can correctly interpret the device's output.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for the analytical performance studies (laboratory accuracy and sensitivity) would be based on quantitative biochemical assays for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels in urine samples. This would be the definitive measure of hCG concentration, allowing for the determination of true positive and true negative samples.

For the consumer interpretation studies, the ground truth for correct interpretation would be established by comparing the consumer's visual reading of the test lines against the known analytical result (positive or negative for hCG) of the sample used.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The concept of a "training set" is typically associated with machine learning or artificial intelligence models. As the "Brand Name 1-Step Pregnancy Test" is an immunochromatographic device and not an AI algorithm, there is no training set in the conventional sense. The device's characteristics are inherent to its design and chemical reagents, not learned from data.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Since there is no training set for this type of device, this question is not applicable.
