Indications for Use
Amphetamines II (AMPII) is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamines and methamphetamines on automated clinical chemistry analyzers at cutoff concentrations of 300 ng/mL, 500 ng/mL and 1000 ng/mL when calibrated with d-methamphetamine. Semiquantitative test results may be obtained that permit laboratories to assess assay performance as part of a quality control program. Semiquantitative assays are intended to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Amphetamines II 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 consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
In vitro diagnostic immunoassay for detection of amphetamines and methamphetamines in urine; utilizes Kinetic Interaction of Microparticles in Solution (KIMS) technology; performed on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (Roche/Hitachi 917). Reagents include conjugated drug derivatives and anti-drug monoclonal antibody-coated microparticles. Principle: drug in sample competes with drug-polymer conjugates for antibody binding sites on microparticles; inhibition of particle aggregation measured by changes in light transmission. Output: qualitative or semi-quantitative concentration relative to 300, 500, or 1000 ng/mL cutoffs. Used in clinical laboratories to screen for drug abuse; results require confirmation by GC/MS. Benefits: rapid preliminary screening to guide confirmatory testing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing comparing performance characteristics, including cutoff concentrations and analytical sensitivity, against predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
KIMS (Kinetic Interaction of Microparticles in Solution) immunoassay. Reagents: mouse monoclonal anti-drug antibodies, drug-polymer conjugates, bovine serum albumin, 0.09% sodium azide. Energy source: optical (light transmission measurement). Form factor: liquid reagent solutions for automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Storage: 2-8°C. Software: embedded firmware for analyzer control and data processing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamines and methamphetamines in human urine. For prescription use only. Provides preliminary analytical results; requires confirmation by GC/MS.
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).
