Indications for Use
The Immunalysis Opiates ELISA test system utilizes an Enzyme Linked Immunoassay (ELISA) for the qualitative detection of Opiates in ORAL FLUID SAMPLES COLLECTED WITH THE QUANTISAL™ ORAL FLUID COLLECTION DEVICE ONLY using a cutoff of 40 ng/mL of Morphine. This in-vitro diagnostic device is intended for clinical and laboratory use only. The Immunalysis Opiate ELISA Kit for oral fluids provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
Device is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for qualitative detection of opiates in oral fluid; requires use of Quantisal oral fluid collection device. Intended for clinical laboratory use; operated by laboratory personnel. Input is oral fluid sample; principle of operation is competitive enzyme immunoassay. Output is preliminary qualitative result (positive/negative) based on 40 ng/mL morphine cutoff. Results are preliminary; require confirmation by GC-MS. Clinical and professional judgment required for interpretation. Benefits include rapid preliminary screening for drug abuse in clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Performance validated via bench testing and method comparison study. 165 specimens from drug-admitting volunteers compared against GC/MS. Positive agreement 76%, negative agreement 97.96%, overall agreement 89.1% against GC/MS. Precision/reproducibility tested with morphine spikes (0-200% of cutoff); CVs ranged 1.59-6.25%. Specificity tested against 58 unrelated compounds; cross-reactivity established for various opiates.
Technological Characteristics
In vitro diagnostic ELISA test system; utilizes competitive enzyme immunoassay principle; qualitative detection; 40 ng/mL morphine cutoff; requires Quantisal oral fluid collection device; intended for clinical laboratory use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of opiates in oral fluid samples collected via Quantisal device. Intended for clinical laboratory use to provide preliminary analytical results. Requires confirmation by alternate 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).
