A rapid qualitative test designed to detect human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum, as an aid in the early detection of pregnancy. The ICON® Fx hCG test is for professional use.
Device Story
ICON® Fx hCG is a rapid, qualitative immunochromatographic assay for detecting human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in urine or serum samples. It utilizes two specific mouse monoclonal antibodies targeting alpha and beta subunits of the hCG molecule. The device is a single-step test card; the user applies the sample to a sample pad and closes the card to initiate the reaction. Results are determined via visual detection of color changes in the test window; no instrumentation is required. Internal controls include a procedural control, a negative control (to detect human anti-mouse antibodies), and a flow indicator. The device is intended for use by health professionals in clinical settings. It provides a qualitative result to aid in early pregnancy detection, offering a simplified, one-step procedure compared to multi-step predicate assays.
Clinical Evidence
Multi-center clinical trial testing compared the ICON® Fx hCG to the predicate device. Results showed an overall level of agreement greater than 99.5% for both urine and serum samples.
Technological Characteristics
Immunochromatographic assay; utilizes two specific mouse monoclonal antibodies for alpha and beta hCG subunits. Visual detection; no instrumentation. Internal controls: procedural control, negative control for human anti-mouse antibodies, and flow indicator. Limit of detection: 20 mIU/mL (urine), 10 mIU/mL (serum).
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional use to detect hCG in urine or serum as an aid in early pregnancy detection.
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.
