Indications for Use
The Oxycodone Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with 100 and 300 ng/mL cutoffs. The assay is intended for use in the qualitative and semiquantitative analyses of oxycodone and its metabolite in human urine. The LZI Oxycodone Enzyme Immunoassay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug-of-abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
Ready-to-use liquid reagent homogeneous enzyme immunoassay; detects oxycodone and oxymorphone in human urine. Principle: competition between G6PDH-labeled oxycodone derivative and free drug in sample for fixed antibody; binding of antibody to labeled drug decreases enzyme activity. Enzyme activity measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm via NAD to NADH conversion. Used on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., Hitachi 717) in clinical laboratory settings. Provides preliminary screening results; requires confirmatory testing via GC/MS. Clinical decision-making relies on professional judgment of preliminary results. Benefits include rapid, simple screening for drug-of-abuse testing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using clinical urine specimens (n=59 to 112 depending on protocol). Compared against predicate device and GC/MS. Qualitative and semi-quantitative agreement with GC/MS ranged from 88.1% to 100%. Precision evaluated over 10 days (n=120 per sample) on Hitachi 717 analyzer; total CVs generally <3%. Analytical sensitivity (LOD) determined as 7.5 ng/mL (100 ng/mL cutoff) and 15 ng/mL (300 ng/mL cutoff).
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay; liquid reagent. Sensing principle: spectrophotometric measurement of G6PDH enzyme activity at 340 nm. Storage: 2°C to 8°C. Compatible with automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of oxycodone and its metabolite (oxymorphone) in human urine. Used as a preliminary analytical screening procedure. Requires confirmation by alternative chemical methods (e.g., GC/MS).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).
