Indications for Use
The Methamphetamine Enzyme Immunoassays for Drugs of Abuse in Oral Fluid is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system to detect methamphetamine in human saliva with a cutoff of 45 ng/mL when testing oral fluid specimens collected with a Salivette collector (manufactured by Sarstedt) and diluted with 1 mL of buffer. The calibrators and controls of the analyte (d-methamphetamine) are prepared with oral fluid buffer so that it can be used to verify and validate the assay. The assay is intended for use in the qualitative determination for methamphetamine. The assay is designed for professional use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The Oral Fluid Methamphetamine Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system 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 methamphetamine in human saliva. Principle: competition between drug-labeled G6PDH enzyme and free drug in saliva sample for fixed amount of specific antibody. In absence of free drug, antibody binds labeled enzyme, decreasing activity. Enzyme activity measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm via conversion of NAD to NADH; drug concentration proportional to enzyme activity. Used in clinical laboratories by professionals on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Provides preliminary analytical results; requires confirmation by GC/MS. Assists clinicians in identifying methamphetamine presence in oral fluid specimens.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Method comparison study of 112 clinical oral fluid specimens against GC/MS reference method. Results: 71 true positives, 39 true negatives, 2 false positives (near cutoff). Overall agreement 98.2%. Precision studies (n=6, twice daily for 10 days) showed within-run %CV 0.39-0.64% and total precision %CV 0.58-0.80%. Analytical specificity evaluated against various cross-reactants and interferents.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay; liquid reagents (mouse monoclonal antibodies, G6PDH conjugate). Sensing principle: spectrophotometric measurement of NADH at 340 nm. Designed for automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Storage: 2-8 °C. Stability: 18 months shelf life; 22 days for collected samples (refrigerated or frozen).
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human saliva for professional use in clinical chemistry laboratories. Not for point-of-care settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A methamphetamine test system is a device intended to measure methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A methamphetamine 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).
