Indications for Use
The Omega Laboratories Hair Drug Screening Assay for Methamphetamine (Meth) and 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is an in vitro diagnostic test that is intended for the qualitative detection of Methamphetamine (calibrated with Methamphetamine) and MDMA (calibrated with MDMA) at or above 500 pg/mg in human head and body hair. To confirm a screen positive result, a more specific alternate chemical method, such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) operating in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode with deuterated internal standards is the preferred method. Professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when presumptive positive results are obtained. This test is intended exclusively for single laboratory use only and is not intended for sale to anyone.
Device Story
Device is an in vitro diagnostic ELISA-based screening assay for qualitative detection of Methamphetamine and MDMA in human head and body hair. Input: hair samples (head/body). Process: hair is pulverized (patent-pending method) and extracted using acid-methanol; ELISA reagents and microplate reader (450 nm) used for analysis. Output: qualitative screen result (positive/negative). Used in a single laboratory setting by laboratory personnel. Presumptive positive results require confirmation via GC/MS (SIM mode with deuterated internal standards). Professional judgment is required for interpretation. Benefits: provides historical drug use information; aids in identifying drug use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies performed. Bench testing only. Method comparison study conducted on 138 body hair samples (69 Methamphetamine, 69 MDMA) compared against GC/MS reference method; results were acceptable. Analytical specificity testing performed on structurally similar compounds (Ephedrine, Phentermine, etc.) at concentrations up to 400,000 pg/mg.
Technological Characteristics
Qualitative ELISA immunoassay. Components: rabbit anti-BE polyclonal antibody-coated micro-wells, HRP-conjugated drug substrate, wash solution. Extraction: acid-methanol. Measurement: automated microplate reader (450 nm/630 nm). Cut-off: 500 pg/mg. Single laboratory use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of Methamphetamine and MDMA at or above 500 pg/mg in human head and body hair. Intended for single laboratory use only.
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).
