The OSOM® hCG Combo Test is a rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum as an aid in the early determination of pregnancy. This test is for professional use in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories.
Device Story
OSOM hCG Combo is a lateral flow, sandwich-format immunochromatographic assay for qualitative hCG detection. Input: urine or serum sample added to test device via fixed-volume pipette. Operation: sample migrates through reaction pads; hCG binds to monoclonal anti-hCG dye conjugate; labeled complex captured at test line by immobilized rabbit anti-α hCG; excess conjugate captured at control line. Output: visual interpretation of gray/black bands in results window (two bands = positive; one control band = negative). Used in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories by healthcare professionals. Results provide rapid pregnancy status confirmation to aid clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated by comparing OSOM hCG Combo results against a currently marketed qualitative hCG assay. Study included 634 urine samples and 691 serum samples. Results demonstrated >99% agreement for both urine and serum procedures on positive and negative samples.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Materials: membrane coated with rabbit polyclonal anti-alpha hCG; conjugate pad with mouse monoclonal anti-beta hCG. Qualitative visual readout. Analytical sensitivity: 20 mIU/mL (urine), 10 mIU/mL (serum). Calibrated against WHO 3rd I.S. 75/537. Standalone device; no instrumentation required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of hCG in urine or serum as an aid in early pregnancy detection. For use in physicians' offices and clinical laboratories.
Regulatory Classification
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.

## K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None referenced
## L. Test Principle:
The OSOM hCG Combo Test is a solid phase, sandwich-format immunochromatographic assay. Urine or serum is added to the sample well of the Test Device using the pipette provided. The sample migrates through reaction pads where hCG, if present in the sample, binds to a monoclonal anti-hCG dye conjugate. The sample then migrates across a membrane towards the results window, where the labeled hCG complex is captured at a test line region containing immobilized rabbit anti-hCG. Excess conjugate will flow past the test line region and be captured at a control line region containing an immobilized antibody directed against the anti-hCG dye conjugate (with or without hCG complexed to it).

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
WHO 3rd I.S. 75/537
d. Detection limit:
Ten samples of hCG spiked into negative (non-pregnant) urine/serum matrix was tested and read by three technicians following the procedure in the package insert. The OSOM hCG Combo Test will detect hCG concentrations of 20 mIU/mL or more in urine and 10 mIU/mL or more in serum, calibrated against WHO 3rd IS 75/537. Specimens containing 1,000,000 mIU/mL (spiked with purified hCG) will also give positive results.
e. Analytical specificity:
Luteinizing hormone (300 mIU/mL), follicle stimulating hormone (1000 mIU/mL), and thyroid stimulating hormone (1000 µIU/mL) were added to negative urine and serum specimens and gave negative results in the OSOM hCG Combo Test.
Various prescription and over-the-counter drugs and urine and serum metabolites were added to specimens containing 0 and 20 mIU/mL (urine) or 10 mIU/mL (serum) hCG. The substances at the concentrations listed in the package insert were not found to affect the performance of the test.
f. Assay cut-off:
See “Detection limit” above.
2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Urine specimens from 634 individuals were evaluated with the OSOM hCG Combo Test and the QuickVue®+ One-Step hCG-Combo Test. Samples were from patients seeking confirmation of pregnancy. The two assays were in agreement on 629 of the 634 samples. The DPC Coat-A-Count® hCG IRMA Kit was used to quantify the five discrepant results. Three of the discrepant
{4}
samples were found to have an hCG concentration greater than 0 but less than 20 mIU/mL, the stated analytical sensitivity of both assays, and thus were removed from the analysis. One sample contained 0 mIU/mL according to the IRMA and was scored negative by the OSOM test but positive by QuickVue+. The remaining sample contained >500 mIU hCG/mL according to the IRMA and was scored positive by the OSOM test but negative by QuickVue+.
The OSOM hCG urine procedure had greater than 99% agreement with the comparative test methods.

Serum specimens from 691 individuals were evaluated with the OSOM hCG Combo Test and the QuickVue®+ One-Step hCG-Combo Test. Samples were from patients seeking confirmation of pregnancy. The two assays were in agreement on 679 of the 691 samples. The DPC Coat-A-Count® hCG IRMA Kit was used to quantify the twelve discrepant results. Eleven of the discrepant samples were found to have an hCG concentration greater than 0 but less than 10 mIU/mL, the stated analytical sensitivity of both assays, and thus were removed from the analysis. The remaining sample contained 0 mIU/mL according to the IRMA and was scored positive by the OSOM test but negative by QuickVue+.
The OSOM hCG serum procedure had greater than 99% agreement with the comparative test methods.

c. Other clinical supportive data (when a. and b. are not applicable):
Urine and serum testing formats were also evaluated at three physician's offices and a clinical laboratory using a proficiency panel. A total of 80 samples were tested at each site. Purified hCG was spiked into horse serum as well as an artificial urine matrix. Each set (40 urine and 40 serum samples) contained negative, low positive, moderate positive, and high positive samples. Each set was tested at each site over the course of three distinct runs. One hundred percent (100%) of the positive and negative results obtained by the POL operators on both urine and serum samples were in agreement with the expected values and with the results obtained by the clinical laboratory operators.
