Brief summary
This is a non-clinical lay user study using stored clinical samples from the SPD BioBank. Volunteers recruited into the study and meeting the criteria will test a randomised pregnant or not pregnant urine sample sourced from SPD's biobank with a new home pregnancy test. Volunteers will be required to follow the product instructions for use (IFU). The order of testing will be randomised prior to execution of the protocol, and each urine sample will only be identifiable by a unique reference number. An independent study technician not involved in study conduct will be responsible for blinding the samples.
Detailed description
Women will be informed of the opportunity to participate in a study in which they will be required to use a home pregnancy test to test a urine sample provided to them. Interested applicants will be invited to join the study. Volunteers will be advised that the product they will be testing is under investigation and that the volunteer will not be testing their own urine and therefore volunteers will not learn their own pregnancy status. Volunteers will be required to consent to the study prior to participation. Each volunteer will test only one device, they will be provided with one investigational device and one urine sample. The order of testing will be randomised prior to execution of the protocol, and each urine sample will only be identifiable by a unique reference number. When ready the volunteer will be required to read the IFU prior to testing the urine sample provided with the investigational device according to the instructions. The volunteer will advise the study technician of the result, who will record this on the result sheet.
