Indications for Use
Wondfo One Step HCG Urine Pregnancy Test Strip is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine, as an aid in early detection of pregnancy, in some cases as early as five (5) days before the expected period, i.e., as early as six (6) days before the day of the missed period. Important note regarding negative results: Some pregnant women will not be able to detect hCG in their urine 5 days before the expected period. If you test negative before your missed period, but think you may still be pregnant, you should test again a few days after your missed period. Important note regarding positive results: Because this test detects low levels of hCG, it is possible that this test may give positive results even if you are not pregnant. If you test positive, but think you may not be pregnant, you should check with your doctor. All results should be confirmed by your healthcare provider, especially when making decisions about future medical care. This product is intended for both prescription use and over-the-counter use.

Device Story
Lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative hCG detection in urine; utilizes mouse monoclonal anti-beta-hCG antibody-colloidal gold conjugate on sample pad, mouse monoclonal anti-alpha-hCG antibody on test line, and goat anti-mouse IgG on control line. Sample migrates via capillary action; hCG-antibody-dye complex forms and is captured at test line, producing red band. Used in point-of-care or home settings; operated by healthcare professionals or lay users. Provides visual qualitative result (positive/negative) within 5 minutes. Assists in early pregnancy detection; results require confirmation by healthcare provider for medical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated using 585 urine samples from 65 pregnant women. Device detected 68% of pregnancies 5 days before expected period and 100% on the day of expected period. Lay-user study (n=300) demonstrated high consistency with professional testing (96-97% at 7.5-8 mIU/mL). False positive rate study (n=900) showed 0.3% false positive rate for strip/cassette and 0% for midstream. Analytical performance confirmed 10 mIU/mL sensitivity and no interference from common substances or glycoprotein hormones.
Indicated for qualitative detection of hCG in urine to aid in early pregnancy detection. Intended for use by women of childbearing age. No specific contraindications listed, though false positives possible in non-pregnant individuals.

# L. Test Principle:
The Wondfo One Step HCG Pregnancy Test (Strip, Cassette, Midstream) is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. When the absorbent end is immersed into a sample, the sample is absorbed into the device by capillary action and mixes with the antibody-dye conjugate (mouse anti-beta HCG monoclonal antibody), flowing across the pre-coated (Goat anti HCG polyclonal antibody) membrane. During the test, hCG in the urine specimen reacts with the dye conjugate and forms a complex. The complex migrates along the membrane to the $\alpha$ -hCG antibody line (T), and remains captured in the T line. As a result, a red colored band develops in the T line, indicating a positive result. If there is no hCG in the urine, there is no red band in the test zone, indicating a negative result. The control line should develop in the Control zone regardless of the result.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# 1. Analytical performance:
# a. Precision/Reproducibility:

Cross reactivity of similar compounds:
Negative and positive urine containing 10 mIU/mL hCG were spiked with various concentrations of the following potential cross reactants: hLH, hFSH, and hTSH. The samples were tested by three operators with three lots of the strip format device. The results from spiked samples demonstrated no cross reactivity at the following concentrations:
| Reactant | Concentration |
| --- | --- |
| hLH | 500 mIU/mL |
| hFSH | 1000 mIU/mL |
| hTSH | 1000 μIU/mL |
Effects of urine pH:
A study was performed to evaluate the effects of pH on the device. Negative urine and positive urine (containing 10 and 100 mIU/mL hCG) were adjusted to have pH values of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0. The negative and positive hCG samples with the different pH levels were tested on each format of the device. The positive and negative hCG results were not affected by urine pH levels between the ranges of 4.0 and 9.0.
Effects of urine specific gravity:
A study was performed to evaluate the effects of urine specific gravity on the device. The device was challenged with negative urine and positive urine (containing 10 and 100 mIU/mL hCG) with specific gravities of 1.000, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025, 1.030, and 1.035. The positive and negative hCG results were not affected by urine specific gravity concentrations between 1.000 and 1.035.
High dose hook effect study:
Negative urine samples were spiked with hCG at concentrations of ranging from 6,250 mIU/mL to 200,000 mIU/mL. Three lots of the device were tested by 3 different operators. The results demonstrated that no hook effect was observed at hCG concentrations ranging from 6,250 mIU/mL to 200,000 mIU/mL.
Effects of hCG β-core fragment:
Interference testing was performed to evaluate whether high levels of beta core fragment interfere with the device. Negative urine hCG and positive urine samples (containing 10 mIU/mL hCG) were spiked with hCG beta core fragment at concentrations of 63,000, 125,000 pmol/L, 250,000 pmol/L, and 500,000 pmol/L. Concentrations of hCG beta core fragment up to 250,000 pmol/L yielded correct results. Interference from hCG β-core fragment was demonstrated at concentrations of 500,000 pmol/L.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Urine samples were collected from 300 women at three different physician’s offices for pregnancy testing. Of the 300 women, 146 of them were suspected to be pregnant. Samples were randomly collected at various times throughout the day. Ages of these women ranged from 20 to 45 years. Samples were masked and randomized by people who labeled the samples but did not participate in the testing. A total of 100 samples were tested for each format (strip, cassette, and midstream). All samples were tested by nine different health care professionals at three different physician offices with proposed and the predicate device. Each person tested three different lots of each format device at the same time, but not sequentially. For the midstream format, 50 samples were tested by the dip method and the other 50 samples were tested by simulated stream method. The results are summarized in the tables below:

Detection of hCG in Early Pregnancy Clinical Samples
A total of 585 urine samples were collected from 65 different women (21-40 years old) who planned to become pregnant. These women were followed throughout their conception cycles with urine collected from day -8 to day 0 of their expected period. These 585 samples were then tested by laboratory technicians (one for strip, one for cassette format, and two midstream with one each for both dip and stream methods). Urine samples were masked and randomized by people who prepared samples but did not participate in the testing. One lot of each test device was used. The day of the expected period was based on the average number of menstrual cycle days reported for the previous 3 cycles. The pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasound scan. The results are summarized below:

## Lay user Study
A lay user study was performed at three intended use sites with a total of 300 females with diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ages ranging from 21 to >50 years. In this study, 100 lay users tested with the strip devices, 100 lay users tested with the cassette devices and 100 lay users tested with the midstream devices (60 by stream method, 40 by dip method). Of these 300 lay users, 146 of them were suspected to be pregnant. In addition to testing their own urine samples, lay users also tested urine samples at 5.0 and 10mIU/ml hCG concentrations (prepared by spiking hCG into negative pooled urine specimens). The results are summarized below.
Strip Format, lay user urine sample, lay user vs professional:

An additional lay-user study was performed using spiked samples around the cut-off level (7.5 and 8.0 mIU/mL hCG) which were tested by 100 lay-user with diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ages ranging from 20 to 45 years. The testing was performed at 3 intended use sites. One lot of each of the three test formats were used in the study. An aliquot of each of the urine samples was also tested by a professional using the candidate device. The results are summarized in the tables below:

A Flesch-Kincaid reading analysis was performed on each package insert and the score demonstrated a reading Grade Level of 7. The results of the questionnaire reflected that the consumers found the test easy to use and that they did not have trouble understanding the labeling or interpreting results.
## Specificity Study to Determine False-Positive Results Rate:
A study was performed to determine the incidence of false positive results in urine from 900 non-pregnant females when tested with the each of the three formats of the candidate device at three different physicians' offices. Urine samples from non-pregnant women in pre-menopausal (18-40 years, n=300), peri-menopausal (41-55 years, n=300), and post-menopausal (>55 years, n=300) age groups were evaluated. Three lots of each test format were used in the study and were randomly distributed among the participants. Non-pregnant females from each age group tested their own urine with each of the test formats based on package insert instructions. The results are summarized in the tables below:
Strip format
| Age Group | Lot I | Lot II | Lot III |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pre-menopausal (18 - 40 yrs) | 0+/34- | 0+/33- | 0+/33- |
| Peri-menopausal | 1+/32- | 0+/34- | 0+/33- |
