Indications for Use
The ForSure One Step Buprenorphine Drug Cup Test Device is an immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative determination of buprenorphine in human urine at cutoff level of 10 ng/mL. The test is intended for prescription and over-the-counter use. The buprenorphine assay will yield preliminary positive results when buprenorphine is ingested at or above therapeutic doses. There are no uniformly recognized drug levels for buprenorphine in urine. The ForSure One Step Buprenorphine Drug Cup Test Device shows the drug was or was not present at the cutoff level. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drugs of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
Device Story
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; detects buprenorphine in human urine. Device consists of test cup and integrated test strip. Principle: competitive binding; buprenorphine in sample competes with colloidal gold-labeled monoclonal antibody-conjugates for binding to buprenorphine-protein conjugates on membrane. Absence of drug allows labeled antibody to bind, producing magenta band (negative); presence of drug inhibits binding, preventing band (positive). Visual readout by operator. Used in point-of-care or home settings; intended for prescription and OTC use. Provides preliminary analytical result; requires confirmation via GC/MS or LC/MS. Assists clinical decision-making regarding drug use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Performance established via bench testing and lay-user study. Lay-user study (n=104, ages 18-70) demonstrated high agreement with GC/MS across concentrations: 100% agreement for negative samples, 99% for -50% cutoff, 89.4% for -25% cutoff, and 97.1% at cutoff. Analytical precision confirmed via within-run and between-run studies (30 determinations per concentration). Cross-reactivity and interference testing showed no significant impact from structurally unrelated compounds or endogenous substances.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay. Membrane coated with goat anti-mouse antibody and Buprenorphine-BSA conjugate. Sample pad contains colloidal gold-labeled mouse monoclonal anti-Buprenorphine antibody. Visual read, single-use, non-instrumented. Storage below 28°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of buprenorphine in human urine at 10 ng/mL cutoff. Intended for prescription and over-the-counter use by individuals to screen for buprenorphine ingestion.
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).
