This kit provides a qualitative result for the detection of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine. ## Device Story OvuStick LH Test (dipstick) and OvuCard LH Test (cassette) are qualitative in vitro diagnostic devices for home use. The device detects Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine samples. The user performs the test at home to predict ovulation. The presence of LH is indicated by a visual color change on the test strip or cassette. The user interprets the visual result to identify the LH surge, which helps in timing intercourse to optimize the chance of conception. The device is intended for over-the-counter use. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided in the document. ## Technological Characteristics Qualitative lateral flow immunoassay for LH detection in urine. Available in dipstick (OvuStick) and cassette (OvuCard) formats. Visual readout based on colorimetric change. ## 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. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
