Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census.

## 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.
