Indications for Use

Uriscreen is a non-quantitative rapid screen for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. Uriscreen detects both bacteria and/or white blood cells, common indicators of Urinary Tract Infection.

Device Story

Uriscreen is a rapid, non-quantitative screening test for urinary tract infection (UTI) designed for adult use. The device consists of a tube containing a reagent powder. The user adds a urine sample to a marked line and introduces a few drops of hydrogen peroxide solution. The principle of operation relies on the detection of catalase activity; most common UTI-causing bacteria and white blood cells are catalase-positive. The presence of catalase in the urine sample reacts with the hydrogen peroxide to produce foam, which serves as the visual output. The test is intended for use by consumers without training or instructions, as well as in clinical laboratory settings. A positive result indicates the presence of catalase, suggesting the potential presence of bacteria or white blood cells, which aids healthcare providers in identifying patients who may require further diagnostic evaluation for a UTI. The device provides a simple, rapid alternative to traditional urinalysis methods.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence includes three phases of testing. Phase I/II involved consumer testing (n=65) comparing Uriscreen to medical technologist interpretation, showing 100% accuracy. Phase III involved clinical laboratory studies (n=139) comparing Uriscreen to culture (>100,000 CFU/ml), demonstrating 95.35% sensitivity and 72.92% specificity. Additional comparisons against Leukocyte esterase and Nitrite tests showed Uriscreen had higher sensitivity (95%) than LE (90%) and Nitrite (37%) for detecting positive cultures. Bench testing confirmed the catalase-based foam reaction mechanism.

Technological Characteristics

The device utilizes a reagent powder contained in a tube that reacts with hydrogen peroxide to detect catalase activity via foam production. It is a standalone, non-automated, visual-read diagnostic test. No specific materials or ASTM standards are cited. The device is intended for adult self-use or clinical use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults as a non-quantitative rapid screen for the detection of urinary catalase, which may be associated with white blood cells, bacteria, and other cells as indicators of urinary tract infection.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Uriscreen - Uriscreen is a rapid screen for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. Uriscreen detects Catalase activity. Most organisms that commonly cause Urinary Tract Infection are Catalase positive. Additionally, Catalase activity is an indicator of white blood cells in urine. White blood cells are a common indicator of Urinary Tract Infection. #### INTENDED USE: Uriscreen is a non-quantitative rapid screen for the detection of Urinary Tract Infection. Uriscreen detects both bacteria and/or white blood cells, common indicators of Urinary Tract Infection. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY: Uriscreen tubes contain a reagent powder, which enables Catalase detection. Urine is added to the tube to the line indicated, a few drops of hydrogen peroxide solution are added. Production of foam indicates Catalase activity. Catalase activity is indicative of bacteria and/or white blood cells in the urine. Most bacteria that commonly cause urinary tract infection are Catalase positive. The presence of bacteria and/or white blood cells in the urine are clearly indicative of Urinary Tract Infection. #### PERFORMANCE DATA: A clinical trial was done to compare the performance of the Uriscreen to Bayer Multistix Leukocyte esterase/Nitrite and the Uri-Test Nitrite in Urine. These data clearly demonstrate that the performance of the Uriscreen test is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Phase I #### Multistix Nitrite/LE vs. Uriscreen | | Multistix + | Multistix - | |---------------|-------------|-------------| | Uriscreen + | 13 | 10 | | Uriscreen - | 0 | 69 | | Sensitivity = | | 100.00% | | Specificity = | | 87.34% | | Accuracy = | | 89.13% | ### Uri-Test Nitrite in Urine vs. Uriscreen | | Nitrite + | Nitrite - | |----------------------|-----------|-----------| | Uriscreen + | 12 | 9 | | Uriscreen - | 3 | 68 | | Sensitivity = 80.00% | | | | Specificity = 88.31% | | | | Accuracy = 86.96% | | | {2}------------------------------------------------ #### Uriscreen was also compared to reference culture method. | Culture vs. Uriscreen | | | |-----------------------|---------------|-----------| | | Culture + | Culture - | | Uriscreen + | 11 | 12 | | Uriscreen - | 0 | 69 | | | Sensitivity = | 100.00% | | | Specificity = | 85.19% | | | Accuracy = | 86.96% | Uriscreen was performed by consumers on their own urine. Data confirm that Uriscreen is easy to use and can be effectively used by consumers with no training or instructions. Phase II To demonstrate the ease-of-use and the ability for the lay consumer to perform and interpret the Uriscreen test, we asked participants at a social club and MDC Associates to test blinded samples. We recruited 65 consumers to read the Uriscreen Package Insert, perform the test on a blinded sample and interpret the results. The blinded samples consisted of a negative, which contained water only and the positive sample contained water and yeast at 10 CFU/ml. All consumer results were confirmed by a trained Medical Technologist. 100% accuracy was observed. # Consumer vs. Medical Technologist | | Uriscreen + (Med Tech) | Uriscreen -<br>(Med Tech) | Row<br>Total | |---------------------------|------------------------|---------------------------|--------------| | Uriscreen +<br>(consumer) | 32 | 0 | 32 | | Uriscreen -<br>(consumer) | 0 | 33 | 33 | | Total | 32 | 33 | 65 | | Sensitivity = | 100.00% | |---------------|---------| | Specificity = | 100.00% | | Accuracy = | 100.00% | {3}------------------------------------------------ ## Phase III ) To demonstrate the performance of the Uriscreen test, an Accuracy and Outcome Analysis study was done in three CLIA Registered Clinical Laboratories. Only patients presenting with symptom of Urinary Tract Infection were included in the study. Uriscreen test results were compared to culture, and based on our protocol criteria a positive culture is considered >100,000 CFU/ml. | | Culture + | Culture - | Row Total | |-------------|-----------|-----------|-----------| | Uriscreen + | 41 | 26 | 67 | | Uriscreen - | 2 | 70 | 72 | | Total | 43 | 96 | 139 | Uriscreen vs. Culture (>100,000) | Sensitivity = | 95.35% | |---------------|--------| | Specificity = | 72.92% | | Accuracy = | 79.86% | | _eukocyte esterase (LE) vs. Culture | | | | |-------------------------------------|--|--|--| |-------------------------------------|--|--|--| | | (>100,000) | | | | | | |-------|------------|----|-----------|----|--------------|--| | | Culture + | | Culture - | | Row<br>Total | | | LE + | | 38 | | 43 | 81 | | | LE - | | 4 | | 54 | 58 | | | Total | | 42 | | 97 | 139 | | | Sensitivity = | 90.48% | |---------------|--------| | Specificity = | 55.67% | | Accuracy = | 66.19% | s {4}------------------------------------------------ | | Nitrite vs. Culture<br>(>100,000) | | | | |-----------|-----------------------------------|----|-----------|--------------| | | Culture + | | Culture - | Row<br>Total | | Nitrite + | | 16 | 2 | 18 | | Nitrite - | | 27 | 94 | 121 | | Total | | 43 | 96 | 139 | Accuracy = Based on our protocol criteria, a positive culture would have significant growth of >100,000. Uriscreen demonstrates 95% Sensitivity when compared to positive culture. Leukocyte esterase only demonstrates 90% Sensitivity when compared to positive culture and Nitrite is only 37% Sensitive. 79.14% | Uriscreen vs. Culture (≥10,000 to | |-----------------------------------| | >100,000) | | | Culture - Positive | Culture - Neg | Row Total | |-----------------|--------------------|---------------|-----------| | Uriscreen - Pos | 58 | 9 | 67 | | Uriscreen - Neg | 13 | 59 | 72 | | Total | 71 | 68 | 139 | | Sensitivity = | 82% | |---------------|-----| | Specificity = | 87% | | Accuracy = | 84% | Uriscreen demonstrates a specificity of 87% and a sensitivity of 82% at 103 - 103 CFU/ml. {5}------------------------------------------------ There are 9 specimens with negative culture results (No Growth) and positive Uriscreen results. The Uriscreen test will produce a positive result if other cells are present in the urine. Of the 9 positive Uriscreen/No Growth cultures, 6 were reported to have White blood cells or blood in the urine. Uriscreen is a better indicator of UTI than either Leukocyte esterase (Sensitivity 90%) or Nitrite (Sensitivity 37%) based on positive culture results (>100,000). When you look at culture growth from >10,000 to >100,000 Uriscreen sensitivity is 82%, but the specificity is 87%. #### STATEMENT OF SAFETY AND EFFICACY: When compared to a Bayer Multistix and the Uriscreen was performed by untrained consumers, the product performance was as follows: Sensitivity - 100% Specificity - 87 Accuracy - 89% When the Uriscreen test performed by the lay consumer and was compared to Uri-Test Nitrite in Urine, the performance of the Uriscreen test was as follows: Sensitivity - 80% Specificity - 88% Accuracy - 87% When the Uriscreen test performed by the lay consumer was compared to culture, performance was as follows: Sensitivity - 100% Specificity - 85% Accuracy - 87% When Uriscreen was tested in three clinical laboratories, comparing Uriscreen test results to reference culture results, performance was as follows: Sensitivity - 95% Specificity - 73% Accuracy - 80% These data clearly demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Uriscreen. Uriscreen was performed by consumers on their own urine. Data confirm that Uriscreen is easy to use and can be effectively used by consumers with no training or instructions.
