We intend to market this product to physicians' office laboratories and clinical laboratories in the U.S.A. as well as in the foreign countries. ## Device Story AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine is an in vitro diagnostic test for qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human urine. Used in physicians' office laboratories and clinical laboratories to confirm pregnancy. The device utilizes a test strip format to detect hCG concentrations as low as 25 mIU/mL and as high as 1,000,000 mIU/mL. Healthcare providers perform the test by applying urine to the strip; results are interpreted visually. The test provides rapid confirmation of pregnancy, aiding clinical decision-making for patient management. ## Clinical Evidence Multicenter clinical study conducted in three physicians' office laboratories. Total of 208 urine specimens tested from female patients seeking pregnancy confirmation and post-menopausal women. Results showed 100% agreement (89 positive, 110 negative) between AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine and the predicate AccuTest™ hCG-Urine. Bench testing confirmed sensitivity at 25 mIU/mL to 1,000,000 mIU/mL. ## Technological Characteristics Qualitative lateral flow immunoassay test strip for hCG detection. Detects hCG in urine at concentrations between 25 mIU/mL and 1,000,000 mIU/mL. Standalone diagnostic device; 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 - Unotech AccuTest™ hCG-Urine ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Phone: (510) 352-3070 | JUN 25 1998 We conducted a multicenter clinical study in three physicians' offices laboratories. We provided each site with the Unotech AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine and the Unotech AccuTest™ hCG-Urine. A total of 208 urine specimens were tested in these physicians' office laboratories using both Unotech tests. Clinical subjects included female patients seeking confirmation of pregnancy, those who were confirmed pregnant, and 19 post-menopausal women. The test results show that the Unotech AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine has 100% agreement with the Unotech AccuTest™ hCG-Urine. | | Unotech

Urine samples with hCG concentrations of 0, 25, 50, 10°, 104, 105, 5x105 and 106 mIU/mL were tested. The results are presented below. | hCG (mIU/mL) | 0 | 25 | 50 | 102 | 103 | 104 | 105 | 5x105 | 106 | |--------------|----|----|----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-------|-----| | # of samples | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | | Positive | 0 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | | Negative | 10 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | The results demonstrate that the Unotech AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine Test can detect hCG in urine at levels as low as 25 mIU/mL and as high as 1,000,000 mIU/mL. These results establish that the Unotech AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine Test is substantially equivalent to the AccuTest™ hCG-Urine Test. The intended use of the Unotech AccuStrip™ hCG-Urine is for the early detection of pregnancy by the qualitative determination of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in human urine. Our intent is to market this product to physicians' office laboratories and clinical laboratories in the U.S.A. as well as in the foreign countries. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image contains the text "Public Health Service".
