Based on the above results, the sensitivity of CLUNGENE HCG Pregnancy Rapid Test is demonstrated to be 25 mIU/mL.
# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
{6}------------------------------------------------
Linearity is not applicable since this is a qualitative test.
### c. Hook effect test:
Negative urine samples were spiked with varying hCG concentrations (62500, 125000, 250000, 500000, 1000000 and 2000000 mIU/mL). All tested concentrations gave a positive result. The results demonstrated that no hook effect was observed at hCG concentrations ranging from 62500 to 2000,000 mIU/mL.
#### d. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
CLUNGENE HCG Pregnancy Rapid Test is calibrated against reference material traceable to WHO International Standard 5th edition.
A shelf-life stability test of the devices was performed by accelerated testing. The results showed that the devices were stable for 24 months when stored at 4~30℃ in the sealed foil pouch. Real time stability studies are ongoing.
#### e. Specificity and cross reactivity
To evaluate specificity and cross-reactivity, negative and positive urine samples (10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL) were spiked with various concentrations of glycoprotein hormones LH, FSH, TSH and hCG ß-core fragment. The results showed that there is no interference at 500 mIU/mL LH, 1000 mIU/mL FSH, 1000 mIU/L TSH and 2000,000 pmol/L hCG ß-core fragment for both negative and positive urine samples.
### f. Interfering substance
To evaluate the potential for interference by certain exogenous compounds, each interfering substance was prepared by diluting stock interfering material to the desired concentration. Urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were spiked with the interfering substance to obtain the desired test concentration. No interferences were observed from exogenous compounds at the following concentrations for both negative and positive hCG urine samples.
| Substances | Concentration |
|----------------------|---------------|
| Acetaminophen | 20mg/dL |
| Acetoacetic Acid | 2000mg/dL |
| Asorbic Acid | 20mg/dL |
| B-hydroxybutyrate | 2000mg/dL |

| Thiophene | 20mg/dL |
| Ampicillin | 20mg/dL |
| Tetracycline | 20mg/dL |
| Ketone | 20mg/dL |
To evaluate potential interference from changes in pH, urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were tested at pH values of 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The results indicated that changes in pH range of 4~9 do not interfere in the results that were either positive or negative for hCG.
To evaluate potential interference from changes in specific gravity, urine samples containing 10 mIU/mL and 25 mIU/mL hCG were tested at density values ranging from 1.000 to 1.035. The results indicated that changes in specific gravity do not interfere in the results that were either positive or negative for hCG.
# B. Method comparison study
### Method comparison with predicate device
The performance of the new device was compared to the predicate test. Urine samples were collected from 120 women presenting to test for pregnancy. Approximately half of the 120 women were suspected to be pregnant and most of them are in the early stage of less than 5 weeks. All samples were tested by three different health professionals for each format at the 3 POC sites for a total of 12 POC operators with the proposed and the predicate devices.
| Strip Format | | Predicate device | |
|---------------------------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
| | | Positive | Negative |
| CLUNGENE HCG®<br>Rapid Pregnancy Test | Positive | 63 | 0 |
| | Negative | 0 | 57 |
| | | Predicate device | |
|---------------------------------------|----------|------------------|----------|
| Cassette | | Positive | Negative |
| CLUNGENE HCG®<br>Rapid Pregnancy Test | Positive | 63 | 0 |

Conclusion from the above table:
The average positive conformity rate of Rapid Pregnancy Test is 100%. The average negative conformity rate of Rapid Pregnancy Test is 100%
# C. Lay person study:
300 women's individual pregnancy status was self-tested, varying educational and occupational backgrounds from three sites were chosen for the study. Each subject tested her own urine sample using the device according to the package insert and provided a sample for professional testing.
