Indications for Use
Abuscreen ONLINE for Amphetamines is an in vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamine and methamphetamine and their metabolites in human urine on automated clinical chemistry analyzers at a cutoff of 1000 ng/mL. Semiquantitative test results may be obtained that permit laboratories to assess assay performance as part of a quality control program. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis of amphetamine use or abuse.
Device Story
Abuscreen ONLINE Amphetamines is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit for human urine analysis. It utilizes kinetic interaction of microparticles in solution (KIMS), measured by changes in light transmission, to detect amphetamine and methamphetamine metabolites. The assay is designed for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers, specifically the Hitachi 917. Reagents include mouse monoclonal antibodies, conjugated amphetamine derivative microparticles, and buffer. The device provides qualitative and semiquantitative results at a 1000 ng/mL cutoff. Clinical laboratory professionals operate the analyzer to process samples; results are transmitted to a computer unit. Healthcare providers use these measurements to assist in diagnosing amphetamine use or abuse. The device benefits patients by providing rapid, automated screening for substance use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated on the Hitachi 917 analyzer. Precision studies (within-run and day-to-day) conducted at 500, 750, 1000, 1250, and 1500 ng/mL concentrations showed CVs ranging from 0.5% to 3.0%. Accuracy was assessed using 50 confirmed positive samples, yielding 50 positive results (100% agreement). Limit of detection was determined to be 11 ng/mL.
Technological Characteristics
Methodology: Kinetic interaction of microparticles in solution (KIMS). Reagents: Mouse monoclonal antibodies, conjugated amphetamine derivative microparticles, and buffer. Form factor: Liquid reagent kit for automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Connectivity: Integrated with Hitachi 917 analyzer system. No specific material standards or software algorithm class provided.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative and semiquantitative detection of amphetamine, methamphetamine, and their metabolites in human urine samples to aid in the diagnosis of amphetamine use or abuse. Intended for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
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).
