Intended Use

The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, and under various private labels as Early Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor.

Device Story

The device is an in vitro diagnostic cassette for home use; it detects the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in a woman's urine. The user applies a urine sample to the cassette; the device utilizes immunochromatographic technology to qualitatively measure LH levels. A visual indicator on the cassette informs the user of the presence of an LH surge, which helps predict ovulation and aids in conception. The device is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use by women without physician intervention.

Clinical Evidence

Laboratory and clinical studies demonstrate that the device provides equivalent performance to the predicate ClearPlan® Easy ovulation test, with both devices reporting 99% accuracy.

Technological Characteristics

The device is a urine-based immunochromatographic test cassette. It functions via qualitative measurement of LH. It is a standalone, non-electronic, OTC diagnostic device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for women at home for the qualitative measurement of LH and detection of LH surge in urine to aid in conception by predicting ovulation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A luteinizing hormone test system is a device intended to measure luteinizing hormone in serum and urine. Luteinizing hormone measurements are used in the diagnosis and treatment of gonadal dysfunction.

Predicate Devices

• ClearPlan® Easy ovulation tests (K981271)
• ClearPlan® Easy ovulation tests (K894579)

### Summary Prepared:

April 22, 1999

## Name of the device:

Early Ovulation Predictor (cassette) Ovulation Predictor (cassette)

## Classification name(s):

Ovulation Predictor (cassette) is a Class I device (21 CFR & 862.1485) for home use.

#### Classification of predicate device(s):

The Ovulation Predictor test is not materially different from the predicate ClearPlan® Easy ovulation tests that are manufactured by Unipath, Ltd., Bedford, UK,, and were cleared for use in the United States by K981271 and K894579.

## Description of the device/intended use(s):

The Ovulation Predictor test is used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine as an aid in conception by accurately and reliably predicting ovulation. The Ovulation Predictor test is intended for use outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) by women at home. The Ovulation Predictor test is an over the counter (OTC) device that will be sold under the name Inverness Medical Early Ovulation Predictor, and under various private labels as Early Ovulation Predictor or Ovulation Predictor.

{1}------------------------------------------------

## Statement of How the Technological Characteristics of the Device Compare to the Predicate device:

The technological characteristics are the same because both devices are urine tests that measure LH immunochromatographically, and have the same safety and effectiveness. They have the same intended use, i.e. use by women as an aid in conception. The new device is intended to be used for the qualitative measurement of LH and the detection of LH surge in a woman's urine. The Ovulation Predictor is intended for use by women outside the body (in vitro diagnostic use) as an aid to conception.

## Summary of Performance Data:

Laboratory and clinical studies tests demonstrate that Ovulation Predictor (cassette) provides equivalent performance to the ClearPlan® Easy ovulation test.

Both devices are 99% accurate.
