Intended Use
The FIRST RESPONSE® GOLD™ Digital Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device intended for use by the lay user for the early detection of pregnancy prior to the expected menses. The test is indicated for use from four days before the expected period, that is, five days before the missed period.
Device Story
The FIRST RESPONSE® GOLD™ Digital Pregnancy Test is an OTC, battery-powered, single-use diagnostic device for home pregnancy detection. It utilizes an immunochromatographic assay with colloidal gold labeling to detect hCG in urine. The device integrates a chromatographic strip with electronic/optical components, a microprocessor, and algorithms. Upon urine application, the device performs immunochemical reactions; the internal optical system reads the reaction result, and the microprocessor interprets the data to display a clear 'YES+' or '-NO' on an integrated screen. This digital output replaces the traditional colored-line interpretation, simplifying results for the lay user. The device displays the result for at least 30 minutes post-reaction, aiding clinical decision-making by providing early, unambiguous pregnancy confirmation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided in the summary; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and performance comparisons to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Immunochromatographic assay; colloidal gold label; battery-powered; integrated electronic/optical components; microprocessor-based digital display; unitized stick housing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for lay users for early pregnancy detection via urine hCG testing, starting 5 days before the expected missed period.
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.

3.8 Description of Device: The FIRST RESPONSE® GOLD™ 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 device detects the presence of hCG in the urine of a pregnant woman by way of a series of immunochemical reactions on a chromatographic strip contained within a plastic housing, which is integral with the digital component that reads and displays the result of the immunochemical reactions on the Display Screen of the device in a manner similar to the predicate device.
3.9 Intended Use and Indication for Use of the Device: The FIRST RESPONSE® GOLD™ Digital Pregnancy Test is an in vitro diagnostic test device intended for use by the lay user for the early detection of pregnancy prior to the expected menses. The test is indicated for use from four days before the expected period, that is, five days before the missed period.

## 3.0 510(K) SUMMARY
3.10 Technological Characteristics: The subject 510(k) device and its analog counterpart First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test (K#030258) utilize the identical immunochemical principles for the assay of hCG: an immunochromatographic assay using colloidal gold as a direct label. The subject 510(k) device differs in that it provides a digital display of the test result for the consumer to read in place of the colored lines of the above referenced analog device. The digital version of the device incorporates into the stick housing electronic and optical components along with a microprocessor and specific algorithms capable of determining and correctly interpreting the reaction result and displaying a simple "YES+" or "-NO" on a Display Screen. The digital device is battery powered and will display the result for at least thirty minutes after completion of the reaction. All components are integrated and unitized into the stick housing.
