Intended Use
STARTOX™ Drugs of Abuse Screening Test is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay intended for the simultaneous detection of multiple drug analytes in urine. STARTOX™ is intended for use in the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse at the following Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recommended levels: Compound Abbreviation Level Amphetamine (d-amphetamine sulfate) AMP 1000 ng/ml Opiates (morphine-3-P-D glucuronide) OPIATES 2000 ng/ml Phencyclidine (phencyclidine HCl) PCP 25 ng/ml Cocaine (benzoylecgonine) COCAINE 300 ng/ml Cannabinoids (11-nor-Δ9-THC-9-carboxylic-acid) THC 50 ng/ml STARTOX™ Drugs of Abuse Screening Test provide only a preliminary qualitative test result. Use a more specific alternate quantitative analytical method to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Apply clinical and professional judgment to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained. For professional use only.
Device Story
Lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in human urine; simultaneous multi-analyte screening. Device utilizes immunochemical reaction; visual readout of test results. Intended for professional use in clinical settings. Provides preliminary qualitative results; requires confirmatory testing via GC/MS for clinical decision-making. Benefits include rapid screening for drug presence to guide further diagnostic or clinical management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using 90 urine samples per drug (50 negative, 40 positive). Positive samples confirmed via Emit and GC/MS. Accuracy reported as >99% compared to Medtox Profile II. Reproducibility confirmed using controls above and below cutoff levels.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunoassay; qualitative visual readout. Detects AMP, OPIATES, PCP, COCAINE, and THC in urine at specified ng/ml concentrations. Standalone test device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for professional use in the qualitative detection of Amphetamine, Opiates, Phencyclidine, Cocaine, and Cannabinoids in human urine at SAMHSA-recommended cutoff levels. Provides preliminary results requiring confirmation by 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).

#### INTENDED USE:
STARTOX™ Drugs of Abuse Screening Test is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay intended for the simultaneous detection of multiple drug analytes in urine. STARTOX™ is intended for use in the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse at the following Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recommended levels:
| Compound | Abbreviation | Level |
|---------------------------------------------------|--------------|------------|
| Amphetamine (d-amphetamine sulfate) | AMP | 1000 ng/ml |
| Opiates (morphine-3-P-D glucuronide) | OPIATES | 2000 ng/ml |
| Phencyclidine (phencyclidine HCl) | PCP | 25 ng/ml |
| Cocaine (benzoylecgonine) | COCAINE | 300 ng/ml |
| Cannabinoids<br>(11-nor-Δ9-THC-9-carboxylic-acid) | THC | 50 ng/ml |
STARTOX™ Drugs of Abuse Screening Test provide only a preliminary qualitative test result. Use a more specific alternate quantitative analytical method to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Apply clinical and professional judgment to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained.
### PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS:
STARTOX™ drugs of abuse screening test detects 5 drugs in human urine at the levels indicated.
STARTOX™ is substantial equivalent to Rapid Drug Screen 9 panel manufactured by American BioMedica Corporation 510k number K002447.
Product performance was compared Medtox Profile II manufactured by Medtox Diagnostics. Ninety (90) samples were tested against each drug, 50 negative which were confirmed to be drug free and 40 positive specimens for each drug were screened as positive by Emit, confirmed and quantified by GC/MS.
The STARTOX™ Drugs of Abuse Screening Test was compared to a FDA substantially equivalent approved device, Medtox Profile II. STARTOX™ demonstrated greater than 99% accuracy with when compared to a legally marketed device.

Reproducibility was evaluated using control urines containing drug concentrations above and below the stated cut-off. Negative controls were also tested. The results confirmed the reproducibility of the STARTOXTM Drugs of Abuse Screening Test.
### CONCLUSION:
STARTOX™ Drug of Abuse Screening Test is substantially equivalent to ABMC Rapid Drug Screen multi-drug products (K012159, K002447) previously cleared for market as demonstrated by the results obtained in the studies.
