Indications for Use
‘RapidOne’ – Buprenorphine Test is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of 12.5 ng/mL of buprenorphine in human urine. ‘RapidOne’ – Buprenorphine Test is intended for professional use. It is not intended for over the counter sales to nonprofessionals. The assay is easy to perform, but should not be used without proper supervision. The 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. liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS).
Device Story
RapidOne-Buprenorphine Test is a lateral flow, one-step competitive immunoassay for human urine; detects buprenorphine and buprenorphine glucuronide. Device consists of a membrane strip with immobilized drug conjugate and dried colloidal gold-antibody complex. Principle: competitive binding; in absence of drug, gold-antibody complex binds 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. Professional use only; provides preliminary screening results; requires confirmatory testing (LC/MS) for clinical decision-making. Benefits: rapid, simplified preliminary assessment of drug presence.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were performed. Performance was established via bench testing and a method comparison study using 101 clinical urine specimens compared against LC/MS. The study demonstrated >99% agreement for negative samples and 85% agreement for positive samples relative to the 12.5 ng/mL cutoff. Analytical specificity was evaluated against 561 substances.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Employs competitive binding principle using colloidal gold-labeled antibodies and immobilized drug conjugates on a membrane strip. Visual readout. Single-use, manual test. No instrumentation required. Operates at room temperature. Detects buprenorphine and buprenorphine glucuronide in urine.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional use in clinical settings for the qualitative screening of buprenorphine in human urine at a 12.5 ng/mL cutoff. Not for over-the-counter use. Provides preliminary results requiring confirmation by alternative chemical methods like LC/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).
