The cut-off concentration for this test is as follows: LH at 30mlU/mL. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in determining the ovulation cycle. ## Device Story At Home Ovulation Test (Model 9032) is a rapid, qualitative, one-step immunoassay for detecting luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine. Device utilizes immunochemical sandwich assay principle; specific antibodies bind to LH in urine sample to form colored complexes, providing visual readout. Intended for home use by lay users to assist in determining ovulation cycle. No external processing or instrumentation required; results interpreted visually by user. Benefits include convenient, rapid assessment of ovulation status to aid in fertility tracking. ## Clinical Evidence Clinical evidence includes a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. Correlation studies using clinical specimens demonstrated >99% correlation compared to the Syntron Be Sure Test. Clinical studies at two independent laboratories showed >98% overall accuracy in professional hands. A consumer study confirmed excellent overall accuracy for lay users. ## Technological Characteristics Qualitative visual color sandwich immunoassay. Detects LH in urine at 30 mIU/mL cutoff. Standalone test kit; no electronic components or software. ## Regulatory 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 - Phamatech OvuCard - Quidel OvuQuick LH Test ## Reference Devices - Syntron Be Sure Test ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Description: Phamatech Name of Manufacturer: 9530 Padgett Street Suite #101 San Diego, California 92126, USA Intended Use: The At HOME OVULATION TEST is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine. The cut-off concentration for this test is as follows: LH at 30mlU/mL. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in determining the ovulation cycle. Technology: The At HOME OVULATION TEST, like many commercially available ovulation test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of luteinizing hormone by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the Phamatech (San Diego, CA) OvuCard and the Quidel OvuQuick LH Test (San Diego, CA 92121). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / LH / colored (labeled) antibody complexes. Performance: The product performance characteristics of the At HOME OVULATION TEST were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Phamatech At HOME OVULATION TEST to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of luteinizing hormone in urine. Correlation studies, using clinical specimens, produced a >99% correlation when compared to the Syntron Be Sure Test. Clinical studies, performed at two independent laboratories, were also performed. In them the Phamatech At HOME OVULATION TEST exhibited excellent overall accuracy (>98%) in the hands of professional users. A consumer study was also performed, in it the At HOME OVULATION TEST exhibited excellent overall accuracy. Consumer interpretation of the LH test showed accuracy to be Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech At HOME OVULATION TEST is substantially equivalent to a variety of detection tests currently in commercial distribution and is safe in the hands of the lay user. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
