Indications for Use
Rapid Drug Screen 8-Panel low volume test is a one-step, lateral flow immunoassay for the simultaneous detection of eight abused substances in urine (each assay occupies a separate channel). Rapid Drug Screen 8-Panel low volume test is intended for use in the qualitative detection of the following 8 drugs of abuse in human urine at the following levels: d-Amphetamine 750 ng/ml; Barbiturates 300 ng/ml; Benzodiazepines 300 ng/ml; Benzoyl ecognine 225 ng/ml; Cannabinoids (11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC) 50 ng/ml; Methamphetamine 1000 ng/ml; Opiates (codeine) 225 ng/ml; (morphine-3-glucuronide) 225 ng/ml; Phencyclidine (PCP) 19 ng/ml. Rapid Drug Screen 8-Panel low volume test is intended for use by professional laboratories and physicians offices in a clinical setting. The assays are easy to perform, but should not be used without proper supervision. This immunoassay is a simplified qualitative screening method that provides only a preliminary analytical test result for use in determining the need for additional or confirmatory testing (i.e., gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)). Rapid Drug Screen 8-Panel low volume test provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical must be used in order to obtain a more confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
Rapid Drug Screen 8-Panel is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay; detects 8 drugs of abuse in human urine simultaneously; each assay occupies a separate channel. Used in clinical settings by professional laboratory staff or physicians. Device provides preliminary qualitative results; requires confirmatory testing (e.g., GC/MS) for definitive identification. Assists clinicians in identifying potential substance abuse; supports decision-making regarding further diagnostic or clinical intervention.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; device is a qualitative screening immunoassay requiring confirmatory testing.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunoassay; multi-channel test panel; qualitative detection of 8 drug analytes in urine; professional use; non-automated.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative screening of 8 drugs of abuse (Amphetamine, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Benzoyl ecognine, Cannabinoids, Methamphetamine, Opiates, PCP) in human urine. Intended for professional use in clinical laboratories and physician offices. Provides preliminary results requiring confirmatory testing via 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).
