## Indications for Use

SASTM Blood/Serum/Urine hCG is a visual and rapid test for the qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in whole blood, serum or urine to aid in the early detection of pregnancy. The test is for professional use.

## Device Story

SAS Blood/Serum/Urine hCG is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative hCG detection. Input samples include whole blood, serum, or urine. Device incorporates red blood cell separation media to process whole blood samples. Operation involves applying sample to a test cassette; results are visually interpreted by a healthcare professional. For whole blood, plasma is separated from cellular components via integrated media. Output is a visual qualitative result indicating presence or absence of hCG. Used in clinical settings by professionals to aid in pregnancy diagnosis.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on bench testing and performance comparison of analytical sensitivity and test construction.

## Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow immunoassay; utilizes red blood cell separation media for whole blood samples; qualitative visual readout; manual operation; no electronic components or software.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Modified SAS Serum/Urine hCG Test

The SAS Blood/Serum/Urine Test utilizes the same antibodies and 90% of the same test construction of the Modified SAS Serum/Urine test. The most significant difference in the SAS Blood/Serum/Test is that it utilizes a red blood cell separation media that separates plasma from the whole blood cell component. These modifications do not affect the performance, safety or efficacy of the product. Please refer to the data included in this submission.

Dear Mr. Martinez:

Re:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
