## Indications for Use

The Amedica Drug Screen Cocaine Test is an in vitro diagnostic test for the rapid detection of benzoylecgonine in human urine at a cutoff of 300 ng/m1. This test kit is used to obtain a visual, qualitative result and is intended for professional use. It is not intended for over the counter sale. This assay provides only a preliminary result. A more specific alternative chemical method is needed to obtain a confirmed result.

## Device Story

The Amedica Drug Screen Cocaine Test is a lateral flow, competitive immunoassay for detecting benzoylecgonine in human urine. It utilizes colloidal gold-labeled antibodies on a membrane strip. When benzoylecgonine levels are below 300 ng/ml, unsaturated antibody-coated particles bind to immobilized conjugates, producing a visible colored line (negative result). When levels exceed 300 ng/ml, binding sites are saturated, preventing line formation (positive result). A built-in control line confirms test validity. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings to provide preliminary qualitative results. It is not for point-of-care use. Results are interpreted visually by the operator. Positive results require confirmation by a more specific chemical method (e.g., GC/MS).

## Clinical Evidence

Performance evaluated via correlation study using blind-labeled clinical specimens measured by GC/MS. Study demonstrated >96% agreement with GC/MS results. Clinical site study performed at two certified laboratories confirmed the device provides visual, qualitative detection of drugs of abuse suitable for professional use.

## Technological Characteristics

Membrane-based lateral flow competitive immunoassay. Uses colloidal gold for visual detection. Cutoff concentration: 300 ng/ml. Built-in control line for procedural validity. Manual visual interpretation.

## Regulatory Identification

A cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system is a device intended to measure cocaine and a cocaine metabolite (benzoylecgonine) in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cocaine use or overdose.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system is not exempt if it is intended for any use other than employment or insurance testing or is intended for Federal drug testing programs. The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 862.9, provided the test system is intended for employment and insurance testing and includes a statement in the labeling that the device is intended solely for use in employment and insurance testing, and does not include devices intended for Federal drug testing programs (*e.g.,* programs run by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the U.S. military).

# 2. Summary of Safetv and Effectiveness ( As required bv 21CFR 807.92(c))

Device name: Amedica Drug Screen Cocaine Test

Design and Materials: Membrane based one-step, lateral flow, competitive immunoassay use colloidal gold for visual detection. The test cutoff is 300 ng/ml.

Intended Use: The Amedica Drug Screen Cocaine Test is a immunochromatographic assay for the rapid detection of benzoylecgonine in human urine at a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/ml. This assay has not been evaluated at point-of-care locations and is intended for use by healthcare professionals.

This assay provides only a preliminary result. A more specific alternative chemical method is needed to obtain a confirmed result.

Test Principle and Description: The Amedica Drug Screen Cocaine Test is based on the principle of highly specific competitive immunochemical reactions between and antibodies for the analysis of specific substances in urine. During testing, a urine specimen moves along membrane on the strip by capillary action. When benzoylecgonine concentration in the urine is below 300 ng/ml, it is not enough to saturate all of the binding sites of the antibodycoated colored particles in the test strip. The unsaturated antibody-coated particles will then be captured by benzoylecgonine conjugates immobilized on the strip and a colored line will appear in the test region. The test result is negative. If the benzoylecgonine level is above 300 ng/ml, it is sufficient to occupy all of the binding sites on the antibody-coated particles. The saturated antibody-coated particles will not be captured by benzoylecgonine conjugate coated on the strip. The colored line will not form in the test region. The test result is positive. The device also provides a built-in control with a different antibody reaction at the control region. This control line should always appear whether or not the drugs or metabolites are present. If the control line does not appear the test result is invalid. This means that negative urine will produce two colored bands, and positive urine will produce only one band at control region.

Performance: The product performance was evaluated by correlation study using blind-labeled clinical specimens that have been measured by GC/MS. This study produced > 96% agreement with GC/MS results. In addition, clinical site study was performed at two certified laboratories and demonstrated that Amedica Biotech Drug Screen Cocaine Test can be use by professionals to obtain a visual, qualitative detection of drugs of abuse. The results of these study and comparison with Rapid Diagnostics Cocaine test demonstrated that Amedica Biotech Drug Screen Cocaine Test is substantially equivalent to the predicate kit.
