Indications for Use
'Rapid One'-Propoxyphene Test is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of 300 ng/ml of propoxyphene and norpropoxyphene in human urine. 'Rapid One'-Propoxyphene Test is intended for professional use. It is not intended for i over-the-counter sales to nonprofessionals. The assay to perform, but should not be used without proper supervision. This immunoassay is a simplified, qualitative screening method that provides only a preliminary result for use in determining the need for additional or confirmatory testing, i.e. gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS.) 'Rapid One'-Propoxyphene Test provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a more confirmed result. GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result. Particularly when preliminary results are used.
Device Story
Lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of propoxyphene/norpropoxyphene in human urine; utilizes competitive binding principle. Input: urine sample; colloidal gold-labeled antibody complex; immobilized drug conjugate on membrane. Mechanism: in absence of drug, gold-labeled antibodies bind to immobilized conjugate, forming visible test line; in presence of drug, drug competes for antibody sites, preventing test line formation. Control line confirms proper flow. Output: visual color bands (two for negative, one for positive). Used in clinical settings by professionals; provides preliminary screening results requiring GC/MS confirmation. Benefits: rapid, simplified preliminary assessment to guide clinical decision-making regarding further testing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Reproducibility evaluated using control urines at concentrations above and below the 300 ng/ml cutoff. All concentrations verified by GC/MS. Testing performed four times daily for five days. Results confirmed reproducibility of performance.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunoassay; membrane strip with immobilized drug conjugate and dried colloidal gold-multi-antibody complex. Qualitative visual readout. No external energy source required. Standalone test device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional use as a qualitative screening tool for the detection of propoxyphene and its metabolite norpropoxyphene in human urine at a 300 ng/ml cutoff. Not for over-the-counter use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A propoxyphene test system is a device intended to measure propoxyphene, a pain-relieving drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of propoxyphene use or overdose or in monitoring levels of propoxyphene to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A propoxyphene 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).
