The Genzyme Diagnostics Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum test is a rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum for the early detection of pregnancy. This test is for use in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories.
Device Story
Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum Test is a lateral flow, solid-phase, sandwich-format immunochromatographic assay. Device uses fixed-volume AccuPipette® to apply urine or serum sample to reaction pad. hCG in sample binds to monoclonal anti-hCG dye conjugate; complex migrates across membrane to test line containing immobilized monoclonal anti-α hCG. Control line captures excess conjugate to verify test validity. Results appear as gray or black bands in window. Used in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories by healthcare professionals. Provides qualitative pregnancy status; aids clinical decision-making regarding pregnancy confirmation.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation compared Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum Test against a currently marketed qualitative hCG assay using 201 urine and 319 serum samples. Results showed high agreement. Two discrepant samples (one urine, one serum) were further tested with a quantitative assay (Coat-A-Count® hCG IRMA); results confirmed the subject device's negative findings were accurate (2.6 mIU/mL and 0 mIU/mL respectively).
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunoassay; solid-phase sandwich format. Uses mouse monoclonal and goat polyclonal antibodies. Manual operation via fixed-volume AccuPipette®. Qualitative visual readout (gray/black bands). No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum for the early detection of pregnancy. Intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for the early detection of pregnancy is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine. A human chorionic goadotropin (HCG) test system is a device intended for any uses other than early detection of pregnancy (such as an aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of treatment of persons with certain tumors or carcinomas) is intended to measure HCG, a placental hormone, in plasma or urine.

#### 7. Device Description
## Intended Use
The Genzyme Diagnostics Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum test is a rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum for the early detection of pregnancy. This test is for use in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories.
# Principle of the Device
The Contrast® II Urine/Serum device is a solid phase, sandwich-format immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of hCG. Urine or serum is added to the sample well of the test device using the fixed volume AccuPipette® provided. The sample migrates through reaction pads where hCG. if present in the sample, binds to a monoclonal anti-hCG dye conjugate. The sample then migrates across a membrane towards the results window, where the labeled monoclonal antibody-hCG complex is captured at a test line region containing immobilized monoclonal anti-α hCG. Excess conjugate will flow past the test line region and be captured at a control line region containing an immobilized antibody directed against the anti-hCG dye conjugate (with or without hCG complexed to it).
The appearance of two gray or black bands in the results window indicates the presence of hCG in the sample. If a detectable level of the hCG is not present, only the control band will appear in the results window.
### 8. Comparison of Technological Characteristics of Genzyme Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum Test with Legally Marketed Device:
The similarities with, and differences between, the Contrast® II hCG Urine/Serum test and the Quidel One-Step device are described in Table 1.
#### Agreement with Predicate Device: 9.
A total of 201 urine samples and 319 serum samples were tested and compared to the results obtained with a currently marketed qualitative hCG assay. When tested according to the instructions and limits in the package inserts, the results obtained with the different assays were in agreement with the exception of two discrepant samples. One urine sample and one serum sample produced positive responses with the QuickVue® One-Step Combo hCG test while the Contrast® II Urine/Serum test produced negative results for those samples. The discrepant samples were tested
