## Research questions

### Does home-use positioning mean a diagnostic device can be sold without a prescription?

US FDA guidance distinguishes home use from over-the-counter status: some home-use devices require a prescription. For a diagnostic-equipment offer, identify the exact product's sale category before treating a direct purchase button as the whole conversion path.

### Is a direct-to-consumer test enquiry always a purchase of a reader?

FDA describes US direct-to-consumer tests that generally involve collecting a sample and sending it to a company for analysis. That differs from buying a reusable reader. Suggested measurement practice: state whether the offer covers the kit, analysis or hardware before assigning value to the lead.

### Does a direct-to-consumer label establish that FDA reviewed every test?

No. FDA says some US direct-to-consumer tests are reviewed and others are not; its treatment depends on the test's risk and claims. Name the particular test and substantiate its actual regulatory status. The category label alone does not establish approval.

### Can a seller's FDA registration support an approved-device claim?

US FDA states that establishment registration and device listing do not denote approval, clearance or authorization. Its device databases provide product-specific records. An advertiser should distinguish the seller's registration from the particular diagnostic device's status; this research verifies no individual SKU.
