Indications for Use
The Lin-Zhi International, Inc. (LZI) Methamphetamine Enzyme Immunoassay for Pictus Analyzers is intended for the qualitative determination of d-methamphetamine in human urine at a cutoff value of 500 ng/mL. The system was calibrated with d-methamphetamine. The assay provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of d-methamphetamine in urine. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative analytical chemistry method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive.
Device Story
The device is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative screening of d-methamphetamine in human urine. It is designed for use on Pictus automated clinical chemistry analyzers by trained laboratory professionals. The system measures absorbance at 340 nm using a photodiode detector; the analyzer automatically calculates the change in absorbance to determine the presence of the drug relative to a 500 ng/mL cutoff. Results are reported as positive or negative. Because the assay provides only preliminary results, positive findings require confirmation via more specific methods like GC/MS or LC/MS. Clinical decision-making should incorporate professional judgment alongside these results. The device benefits patients and clinicians by providing a rapid, automated screening tool for drug abuse testing in a clinical laboratory setting.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Method comparison study performed on 98 human urine samples against LC/MS reference method, showing 100% agreement for positive samples and 98% for negative samples. Precision studies (within-run and total) conducted per CLSI EP05-A2. Cross-reactivity tested for structurally related compounds.
Technological Characteristics
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay. Reagents: mouse monoclonal anti-methamphetamine antibodies, G6PDH-labeled drug conjugate, NAD, G6P, sodium azide preservative. Detection: spectrophotometric (340 nm). Platform: Diatron Pictus 700 clinical chemistry analyzer. Qualitative output. Traceable to d-methamphetamine standard.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative screening of d-methamphetamine in human urine at a 500 ng/mL cutoff. Intended for use by trained laboratory professionals. Preliminary result only; requires confirmation by GC/MS or LC/MS.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A methamphetamine test system is a device intended to measure methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A methamphetamine 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).
