Indications for Use
The Amphetamine-Specific Enzyme Immunoassays for Drugs of Abuse in Oral Fluid is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay system to detect amphetamine in human saliva with a cutoff of 45 ng/mL when testing oral fluid specimen collected with Salivette collector (manufactured by Sarstedt) and diluted with 1 mL of buffer. The calibrators and controls of the analyte (d-amphetamine) 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 amphetamine. The assay is designed for professional use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The Oral Fluid Amphetamine-Specific 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
Liquid reagent, homogeneous enzyme immunoassay; detects amphetamine in human saliva. Principle: competition between drug-labeled G6PDH enzyme and free drug in saliva sample for fixed antibody; drug concentration proportional to enzyme activity. Enzyme activity measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm via conversion of NAD to NADH. Used in clinical laboratories by professionals on automated chemistry analyzers. Provides preliminary qualitative results; requires confirmatory testing (GC/MS) for clinical decision-making. Benefits: rapid screening for drugs of abuse in oral fluid.
Clinical Evidence
Method comparison study performed on 112 clinical oral fluid specimens comparing LZI EIA to GC/MS. Results showed 97.1% agreement (56 true positives, 44 true negatives, 2 false positives, 1 false negative). Precision studies (replicates of 6, twice daily for 10 days) showed within-run CV 0.46-0.63% and total precision CV 0.70-1.02%. Analytical specificity evaluated against various compounds; MDA showed cross-reactivity.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay; liquid reagents. Sensing principle: spectrophotometric measurement of G6PDH enzymatic activity at 340 nm. Analyzers: automated clinical chemistry systems (e.g., Hitachi 717). Storage: 2-8 °C. Qualitative assay; no linearity. Calibrators/controls: buffer matrix spiked with d-amphetamine.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of amphetamine in human saliva specimens collected via Sarstedt Salivette. Intended for professional use in clinical chemistry laboratories for preliminary analytical screening. Not for point-of-care use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An amphetamine test system is a device intended to measure amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in plasma and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of amphetamine to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An amphetamine 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).
