Indications for Use
OC-Light S FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test, also known as iFOBT, immunochemical fecal occult blood test) is a qualitative test intended for the immunochemical detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) by professional laboratories and physician office laboratories. Measurement of FOB is useful as an aid to detect blood in stool when gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding may be suspected. OC-Light S FIT is recommended for use in routine physical examinations.
Device Story
OC-Light S FIT is an in vitro diagnostic lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool. The device consists of a test strip and a sampling bottle containing 2.0 mL extraction buffer. The test strip features a nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized mouse monoclonal anti-hHb antibodies at the test region and rabbit anti-mouse antibodies at the control region; a conjugate pad contains colloidal gold-conjugated mouse monoclonal anti-hHb antibodies. When the sample end is dipped in fecal extract, hHb binds to the gold conjugate; the complex migrates to the test region, forming a visible reddish/pink line if hHb is present. A procedural control line confirms proper wicking and technique. The test is performed by healthcare professionals in laboratories or physician offices. Results are visually interpreted by the operator. A positive result indicates the presence of hHb above the 10 µg/g stool cut-off, aiding in the suspicion of GI bleeding. The device provides a non-invasive screening tool for GI disorders.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via repeatability and reproducibility studies across three sites (n=1764 total results), demonstrating high agreement. Analytical specificity confirmed against animal hemoglobins, meat/vegetable extracts, iron, sodium L-ascorbate, and toilet cleaners. No susceptibility to prozone/hook effect up to 2000 ng/mL. Method comparison against predicate (K041297) showed high overall percent agreement (99.7% in POLs, 100% in PMLs).
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. Components: nitrocellulose membrane, sample pad, conjugate pad (colloidal gold-conjugated mouse monoclonal anti-hHb), absorption pad, plastic backing. Sampling bottle contains 2.0 mL extraction buffer. Qualitative visual readout. No electronic components, software, or connectivity. Sterilization not specified. Cut-off: 10 μg hemoglobin/g stool (50 ng/mL).
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in routine physical examinations for the detection of fecal occult blood in stool specimens to aid in the identification of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients.

I. Device Description:
OC-Light S FIT is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device designed for the immunochemical detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool specimens.
1. Components of OC-Light S FIT: OC-Light S FIT consists of a test strip and a sampling bottle.
a. OC-Light S FIT test strip consists of a nitrocellulose membrane with immobilized mouse monoclonal antibodies specific to human hemoglobin at the test region and immobilized rabbit anti-mouse antibodies at the control region, a sample pad, a conjugate pad which contains human hemoglobin specific mouse monoclonal antibodies conjugated with colloidal gold, an absorption pad, and a plastic backing.
b. OC-Light S FIT sampling bottle is a plastic bottle for collecting fecal sample. It contains 2.0 mL of extraction buffer. The sampling bottle is specially designed for:
i. Proper sampling of feces: Sample probe is attached to the top bottle cap. The sample probe insertion slot is designed to rub off excess amount of stool before it reaches the area with extraction buffer, enabling only stool caught in the grooved portion (approximately 10 mg) of the sample probe to be mixed with the buffer solution.
ii. Thorough mixing of fecal sample with extraction buffer: Sample probe itself acts as a stopper, preventing excess amount of collected stool from entering into the extraction buffer area and buffer solution from leaking outside.

## L. Test Principle:
OC-Light S FIT is a qualitative test designed for the immunochemical detection of human hemoglobin (hHb) in stool specimens. When the sample end of test strip is dipped in the fecal extract, the liquid fecal extract wicks through a series of absorbent materials and contacts colloidal gold conjugated with monoclonal antibodies specific to hHb. If hHb is present in the sample, it reacts with the antibodies on the colloidal gold. When the gold conjugate with hHb reaches the test region of the membrane, it binds with the immobilized antibodies also specific to hHb to form visible reddish/pink line. The procedural control region of the membrane contains anti-mouse antibodies that capture any unreacted/excess antibody-gold conjugates, forming a distinct reddish/pink line. The reddish/pink line in the procedural control region demonstrates the validity of the test.
## M. Performance Characteristics:
### 1. Analytical performance:
#### a. Precision/Reproducibility:
The repeatability of OC-Light S FIT was evaluated at one intended use site, using one test kit lot and one operator. The repeatability study was performed using 21 replicates of fecal test samples collected in OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles from Hb-free stool specimens spiked with human blood to obtain test samples containing seven different concentrations of human hemoglobin: 0 µg/g stool, 5 µg/g stool, 8 µg/g stool, 10 µg/g stool, 12 µg/g stool, 15 µg/g stool, and 400 µg/g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, cutoff), 60 (C95+20%), 75, and 2000 ng/mL, respectively.
{4}
Reproducibility studies were conducted at three intended use sites in the U.S. The reproducibility of OC-Light S FIT was evaluated by testing 21 replicates of fecal test samples collected in OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles from Hb-free stool specimens spiked with human blood to obtain test samples containing seven different concentrations of human hemoglobin: 0 μg/g stool, 5 μg/g stool, 8 μg/g stool, 10 μg/g stool, 12 μg/g stool, 15 μg/g stool, and 400 μg/g stool, that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, cut-off), 60 (C95+20%), 75, and 2000 ng/mL, respectively.

{6}
FOBT-CHECK ‘Negative and Positive Controls’ were also tested daily to ensure and confirm the validity of the test results of the stability study. Stool samples collected in OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles are stable up to 30 days when stored at 2 to 8°C, and stable up to 15 days when stored at room temperature.
2. Test Kit Stability (Accelerated)
Accelerated stability study was conducted with 3 lots of OC-Light S FIT test kit (test strips and sampling bottles). Test kit stability testing was performed by preparing 21 aliquots of spiked stool test samples collected in detection buffer in OC-Light S FIT sample collection bottles. The Hb-free stool specimens were spiked with human blood (of known hemoglobin level) to obtain fecal samples containing seven different hemoglobin concentrations: 0 µg/g stool, 5 µg/g stool, 8 µg/g stool, 10 µg/g stool, 12 µg/g stool, 15 µg/g stool, and 400 µg/g stool that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, cut-off), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL, respectively. Each spiked stool test sample was analyzed in random order. The three lots of OC-Light S FIT test strips (contained in canisters) and sampling bottles were stored and tested at 50°C, 56°C and 60°C. The test kit stability was performed at the following time intervals:
Device kit stored at 60°C: 1.04 months (31 days) from the start of storage.
Device kit stored at 56°C: 1.49 months (45 days) from the start of storage.
Device kit stored at 50°C: 2.58 months (77 days) from the start of storage.
FOBT-CHECK ‘Negative and Positive Controls’ were also tested daily to ensure and confirm the validity of the test results of the stability study. The results showed that the test kit was stable for an estimated period of 18 months at 30°C when Arrhenius equation is applied.
3. Fecal Sample Shipping Stress Test
Three sets of OC-Light S FIT test kits (3 lots of test strips plus 3 lots of sampling bottles) were evaluated during the fecal sample shipping stress test. Fecal samples were prepared by spiking stool samples with human blood (of known hemoglobin level) to obtain fecal samples containing seven different hemoglobin concentrations: 0 µg/g stool, 5 µg/g stool, 8 µg/g stool, 10 µg/g stool, 12 µg/g stool, 15 µg/g stool, and 400 µg/g stool that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, cut-off), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL, respectively. Twenty one aliquots of each of the seven concentrations of spiked stool test samples were mixed with detection buffer in OC-Light S FIT sample collection bottles. The initial tests were performed with randomized samples that are not stressed to confirm that all sets give expected results. The OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles with fecal samples of known Hb concentrations were stored at -40°C, -20°C, 30°C, 45°C, and 50°C. The stool samples/test kit stored at -40°C and -20°C were brought to room temperature on day 1 to have a freeze-thaw cycle, and was then returned to storage. At time points of 2, 3, and 4 days from the start of storage, 147 OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles (21 aliquots of 7 Hb concentrations) of each set from the storage were taken out and brought back to room temperature. The samples were randomized and tested with a paired lot of OC-Light S FIT test strips. FOBT-CHECK ‘Negative and Positive

{7}
Controls' were also tested daily to ensure and confirm the validity of the test results of the stability study. Studies demonstrated that fecal samples collected in OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles are stable for 3 days of storage at 45°C and stable for 3 days with 3 freeze/thaw cycles.
## 4. Test Kit Shipping Stress Test
Three sets of OC-Light S FIT test kits (3 lots of test strips plus 3 lots of sampling bottles) were evaluated during the test kit shipping stress test. The unused sets of OC-Light S FIT test strips and sampling bottles (containing no fecal samples) were stored at -40°C, -20°C, 30°C, 45°C, and 50°C. The test kit stored at -40°C and -20°C were brought to room temperature on day 1 to have a freeze-thaw cycle, and was then returned to storage. At time points 2, 3, and 4 days from the start of storage, 147 OC-Light S FIT test strips and sampling bottles of each test set from the storage were taken out and brought back to room temperature. To evaluate the performance of stressed test kits, fecal samples for testing were prepared by spiking stool samples with human blood (of known hemoglobin level) to obtain fecal samples containing seven different hemoglobin concentrations: 0 μg/g stool, 5 μg/g stool, 8 μg/g stool, 10 μg/g stool, 12 μg/g stool, 15 μg/g stool, and 400 μg/g stool that are equivalent to 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50 (C95, cut-off), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL. Twenty one aliquots of each of the seven concentrations of spiked stool test samples were mixed with detection buffer in OC-Light S FIT sample collection bottles. The samples were randomized and tested with a paired lot of OC-Light S FIT test strips. FOBT-CHECK 'Negative and Positive Controls' were also tested daily to ensure and confirm the validity of the test results of the stability study. Studies demonstrated that OC-Light S FIT test kits are stable for 3 days of storage at 45°C and stable for 3 days with 3 freeze/thaw cycles.

## 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
{10}
A method comparison of OC-Light S FIT with the predicate test, Polymedco OC-Light FOB Test, was conducted by assessing patient samples and one Hb-spiked sample of known concentration at $75\mathrm{ng / mL}$ (near the cut-off) at each intended use site, physician office laboratories (POLs) and professional medical laboratories (PMLs). The FOBT-CHEK external controls (positive and negative) were run prior to testing. Statistical analysis of site-wise test results as well as combined results showed that OC-Light S FIT test results have acceptable overall percent agreement as well as positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement with Polymedco OC-Light FOB test results.

3. Specimen Identification:
Enter patient identification information manually on the label of the Sampling Bottle.
4. Specimen Sampling and Handling:
It is recommended that the laboratory should give the OC-Light S FIT Sample Collection Bottle to the patient so that the patient can collect the fecal sample and do the sampling himself/herself and submit it to the laboratory for testing as per the appropriate instructions received from the laboratory. The sample must be returned or mailed to the doctor/laboratory within 5 days of sampling. The laboratory may store sample at room temperature for up to 15 days or can be refrigerated at 2–8°C (36–46°F) for up to 30 days.
5. Calibration:
Not applicable
6. Quality Control:
Internal Control: The Procedural Control is found in the Procedural Control Region of the Test Strip to assure the operator that (a) sample addition and migration through the test strip has occurred and (b) the control anti-mouse antibody and the reporter MAb are intact and functional. This control does not ensure that the capture antibody is accurately detecting the presence or absence of Hb in the sample.
External controls: External controls are used to assure the operator that the capture and conjugated antibodies are present and reactive. Controls should be assayed according to manufacturer instructions once per kit lot, following the local and state guidelines. If controls do not perform as expected, the test results should not be used.
P. Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data Not Covered In The "Performance Characteristics" Section above:
1. Test Kit Reaction Time:
Reaction time test samples were prepared by spiking Hb-free stool specimen with known levels of human Hb solution to obtain fecal samples with seven different Hb concentrations: 0, 25 (C5), 40 (C50, C95-20%), 50(C95, cut-off), 60 (C95+20%), 75 and 2000 ng/mL. Each sample was collected with 21 OC-Light S FIT sampling bottles and tested in a randomized order. The test was performed in-house with OC-Light S FIT test strips and the results read at 3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes. Positivity rate of 25ng/mL was 0%, positivity rate of 40ng/mL was 43%, and positivity rate of 50ng/mL was 100% at 5 minutes of reaction, and the appropriate reaction time of OC-Light S FIT was demonstrated as 5 minutes. The appropriate reaction time of OC-Light S FIT was demonstrated as 5 minutes.

2. Operator Intensity Reading:
The operator intensity reading test was performed by utilizing seven (7) levels of stool samples spiked with Hb concentrations by adding human Hb to Hb-free stool samples with concentrations at 0, 25, 37.5 (C95-25%), 50 (C95, cut-off), 62.5(C95 +25%), 75, and 2000 ng/mL. The negative and positive controls were performed in the same manner as the spiked stool test samples. Five groups of samples were created, each group consisting of seven samples per concentration and controls each tested in a randomized order. Five participant readers from an intended use site analyzed the group of samples and recorded the results and graded the intensity of the test line from 6 levels: N (negative), F (faint), 1+, 2+, 3+, and 4+. The intensity of the test line increased in correlation with the Hb concentration of stool test samples. There was no statistical significance in the analyses of the test samples performed by the operators for the intensity reading test study.
