Indications for Use
Wondfo Cocaine Urine Test is an immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative determination of Benzolecgonine in human urine at a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL. The test is available in a dip card format and a cup format. It is intended for prescription use and over the counter use. The test provides only preliminary test results. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a conformed analytical result. GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive. Wondfo Methamphetamine Urine Test is an immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative determination of D(+)-Methamphetamine in human urine at a cutoff concentration of 1000 ng/mL. The test is available in a dip card format and a cup format. It is intended for prescription use and over the counter use. The test provides only preliminary test results. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a conformed analytical result. GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.
Device Story
Wondfo Cocaine and Methamphetamine Urine Tests are lateral flow immunoassays for qualitative drug detection in human urine. Available in dip card or integrated cup formats. Principle: competitive binding; urine sample migrates via capillary action; drug/metabolite competes with immobilized drug conjugate for limited anti-drug antibody binding sites. Result: negative (rose-pink band in test zone); preliminary positive (no band in test zone). Control line confirms proper wicking. Used in clinical or home settings; operated by healthcare professionals or lay users. Results read visually at 5 minutes. Preliminary results require confirmation via GC/MS. Benefits: rapid, point-of-care screening for drug abuse; aids clinical decision-making regarding patient management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of analytical performance studies (precision, specificity, interference, cutoff verification) and a lay-user study. Lay-user study (n=140 per format) compared user results to GC/MS across various concentrations (±75% of cutoff). Overall agreement with GC/MS ranged from 96.4% to 97.8%. Analytical specificity evaluated cross-reactivity with structurally related and unrelated compounds. Bench testing confirmed performance at claimed cutoffs.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; competitive binding principle; monoclonal antibody-dye conjugate (mouse) with gold chloride; fixed drug-protein conjugate; anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody. Formats: dip card, cup. No electronic components or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of Benzoylecgonine (cocaine metabolite) at 300 ng/mL or D(+)-Methamphetamine at 1000 ng/mL in human urine. Intended for prescription and over-the-counter use in adults.

L. Test Principle:
Wondfo Methamphetamine and Cocaine Urine Tests are one-step lateral flow immunoassays containing a conjugate pad with colloidal gold with anti-drug antibodies, a nitrocellulose membrane, with a test line (T) and a control line (C). The T line is coated with drug antigen bound to duck egg protein and the C line is coated with goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibodies. The test is a competitive binding immunoassay in which drugs and drug metabolites in a urine sample compete with immobilized drug conjugate for limited labeled antibody binding sites. When a sufficient amount of sample is applied, the sample migrates through the test device by capillary action. If the concentration of drug is below the cutoff level, the anti-drug antibodies in the colloidal gold particles will bind to the drug antigens coated in the test zone producing a band which indicates a negative result. If the drug concentration is at the cutoff level or higher no band will form in the test zone (test line T) indicating a preliminary positive. A band should form in the control region regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
{4}
The precision study was conducted by three operators. Three different lots were tested for cocaine and methamphetamine using 12 devices/ lot at each control level of negative, -75%, -50%, -25%, cut-off, +25%, +50%, +75%, and +100% of the cut-off. Samples were prepared, concentrations of each sample confirmed by GC/MS, and then each sample was divided into 300 aliquots. The 300 sample aliquots were divided into 12 sets of 25 for each test format (cup/dipcard). The study was conducted over a 25 day period and ran 3 batches of each test format (cup/dipcard) in 2 runs/day. Each device was tested and interpreted by the same operator. Summaries are presented in the following tables:

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Not applicable, the assay is intended for qualitative use.
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
This device has internal process controls. A colored line appearing in the control region confirms sufficient sample volume and adequate membrane wicking. Users are informed that the test is invalid if a line fails to appear in the control region.
Control standards are not supplied with this device; however it is good laboratory practice to confirm the test procedure and to verify proper test performance. Users should follow all applicable guidelines for testing QC materials.
Stability:
Accelerated stability and real time stability tests were performed on three batches of cups and dip card strips for the Wondfo Methamphetamine and Cocaine Urine tests. Accelerated stability and real time stability studies were performed and the results support Wondfo's claimed shelf life of 23 months at $4^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and $30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for the cocaine urine tests and a shelf life of 24 months at $4^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ and $30^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ for the methamphetamine urine tests.
d. Detection limit:
Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in
{6}
Section f. (Assay cut-off) below.
e. Analytical specificity:
To evaluate specificity of the urine cocaine and methamphetamine urine devices, three batches of urine samples were tested by taking 30 negative urine samples and spiking these samples with three different analyte concentration levels. Two different groups of operators were assigned to test blinded urine samples (three operators tested the cup format and three operators tested the dip stick format). Percent cross reactivity of a compound was calculated by dividing the cutoff concentration by the minimum concentration required to obtain a positive result and multiplying by 100%. Summary of the results are as follows:
Cocaine
| COC(Cocaine) (Benzoylecgonine, Cutoff=300ng/mL) | Result Positive at 300 ng/mL | % Cross-Reactivity 100% |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cocaine HCl | Positive at 750 ng/mL | 40% |
| Cocaethylene | Positive at 12,500 ng/mL | 2.4% |
| Ecgonine | Positive at 32,000 ng/mL | <1% |
Met:
| MET(Methamphetamine) (D(+)-Methamphetamine, Cutoff=1000 ng/mL) | Result Positive at 1,000 ng/mL | % Cross-Reactivity 100% |
| --- | --- | --- |
| D-Amphetamine | Positive at 50,000 ng/mL | 2% |
| Chloroquine | Positive at 50,000 ng/mL | 2% |
| (+/-)-Ephedrine | Positive at 50,000 ng/mL | 2% |
| (-)-Methamphetamine | Positive at 25,000 ng/mL | 4% |
| (+/-)3,4-methylenedioxumethamphetamine(MDMA) | Positive at 2,000 ng/mL | 50% |
| β-Phenylethylamine | Positive at 50,000 ng/mL | 2% |
| Trimethobenzamide | Positive at 10,000 ng/mL | 10% |
Interference Studies:
Interference studies were performed using the cup and dipcard tests using urine controls at +/-25% of each analyte cut-off concentration. Potential interferences to the Wondfo cocaine and methamphetamine urine cup and dipcard tests were evaluated by adding various drugs, drug metabolites, and other compounds (structurally unrelated and endogenous compounds) that are commonly found in the urine which may interfere with testing results. The following compounds were found not to cross react when tested at concentrations of 100 µg/mL.

pH:
The pH of an aliquoted negative urine pool was adjusted to pH 4, pH 5, pH 6, pH 7, pH 8, or pH 9 was spiked with +/- 25% of the cut-off concentration of benzoylecgonine and D(+) – Methamphetamine. Each was individually tested using three batches of strips and three batches of the cup format. The spiked, pH-adjusted urine was tested in triplicate. Varying the pH did not affect the accuracy of each test format (dipcard and cup).
Specific Gravity:
Twelve drug-free urine samples with specific gravities (1.000-1.035) and spiked with +/- 25% of the cut-off concentration of benzoylecgonine and D (+) – Methamphetamine using three batches of strips and three batches of the cup format. The spiked urine samples were tested in triplicate. The results show that varying the specific gravity does not affect the accuracy of each test format (dipcard and cup).
f. Assay cut-off:
The assay cut off established by collecting 25 clinical urine samples containing +/- 50% of the cocaine cutoff of 300 ng/ml and 25 clinical urine samples containing +/- 50% of the methamphetamine cutoff of 1000 ng/mL. Additionally, 125 drug-free clinical urine samples spiked with cocaine and 125 drug-free clinical urine samples spiked with methamphetamine were both diluted from the International Drug Standard (Sigma) to concentrations: -50%, -25%, cutoff, +25%, and +50% of the cocaine cutoff 300 ng/mL and methamphetamine cutoff 1000 ng/mL. The clinical urine samples were collected from the Shenzhen Drug Addiction Recovery Center and drug concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. Results were read by three laboratory assistants with relevant experience. There cutoff studies were performed by two separate groups of operators (one for the dipcard format and one for the cup format). Three operators in each group performed the readings and they were blinded to the samples. Each result was confirmed by two other assistants. The results of the study are as follows:

# 2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Performance of the Wondfo Cocaine and Methamphetamine Urine Tests (dipcard and cup formats) were established by comparing 80 samples (40 positive and 40 negative) of each analyte against GC/MS. Ten of the 80 samples came from drug-free urine samples. Each result was read by three laboratory assistants and a lay person. All urine samples were collected at the Shenzhen Drug Addiction Recovery Center. A summary of results comparing the results of the lay person to the experienced person are as follows:

b. Lay-User Study:
A lay-user study was performed to assess the suitability of the device for home use. Six drug-free urine sample pools were spiked with +75%, +50%, +25%, -25%, -50%, and -75% of the cutoff for cocaine and
{15}
methamphetamine. Additionally, a negative urine pool with no drug was tested. The six spiked urine samples and the negative urine pool concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS and aliquoted into 40 individual containers per concentration (n=280 aliquots, 20 aliquots per concentration per test format). Testing was performed at three sites by 140 blinded consumers divided between three sites (140 lay-users for the cup format and 140 lay-users for the dipcard format). The lay users were chosen from likely intended users at the Shenzhen Drug Addiction Recovery Center, Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, and Guangzhou Mental Hospital. Each participant received the package insert, 1 blinded sample, and either a cup or dipcard test format. The lay persons test result was compared to the GC/MS result to demonstrate accuracy by lay-users. The following are the results of the lay-user study:

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
