The Bayer Healthcare Clinitest hCG Pregnancy Test is for in vitro diagnostic use as a qualitative method in the rapid detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine specimens. The test is utilized with the Clinitest Status analyzer and is intended for near patient (point of care) and centralized laboratory locations.
Device Story
Clinitest hCG Pregnancy Test is a qualitative sandwich-type immunochromatographic assay. Input: urine specimen applied to test cassette. Principle: anti-beta hCG antibodies coupled to colloidal gold particles bind hCG in sample; complex migrates to test line containing anti-alpha hCG antibodies, forming visible pink line. Control line uses goat anti-mouse IgG. Device is used with Clinitek Status analyzer; instrument reads reflectance of test line, reference line, and calibration bar. Output: qualitative result (positive, negative, or borderline). Borderline results prompt retest in 48-72 hours. Used in point-of-care or lab settings by professionals. Benefits: automated reading removes subjectivity of visual interpretation, providing standardized results based on 25 mIU/mL cutoff.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance data: precision/reproducibility (intra-instrument CV <10% weak, <4% moderate/strong; inter-instrument CV <11% weak, <4.6% strong) and method comparison study (n=3120) against visually read predicate. Agreement analysis showed 99.7% negative agreement and 99.1% positive agreement after resolving discrepancies with RIA.
Technological Characteristics
Qualitative sandwich-type immunoassay; monoclonal anti-alpha hCG antibodies (test line), goat anti-mouse IgG (control line), colloidal gold-labeled anti-beta hCG. Dimensions: test cassette. Connectivity: Clinitek Status analyzer. Calibration: internal self-calibration via white plastic bar and reference line. Standards: ISO 14971, ISO 13485, IEEE 1012, ISO/IEC 12207, AAMI/ANSI SW68, IEC 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine specimens to aid in the detection of pregnancy. Intended for use in near-patient (point-of-care) and centralized laboratory settings using the Clinitek Status analyzer.
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.
