Intended Use
The Synermed Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of opiates in human urine at a cutoff value of 300 ng/mL when calibrated against morphine. The assay is designed for professional use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. This assay is for prescription use only. The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmatory method such as GCMS or permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. 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 or LC/ 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
Synermed Opiate Enzyme Immunoassay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit for detecting opiates in human urine; utilizes mouse monoclonal anti-morphine antibodies and morphine-labeled G6PDH enzyme conjugate; operates via competitive enzyme immunoassay principle where absorbance is inversely proportional to analyte concentration; intended for use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (specifically Synermed IR-500); provides preliminary qualitative or semi-quantitative results; requires confirmation by GC/MS or LC/MS; used by laboratory professionals to screen for drug abuse; results assist clinicians in diagnostic decision-making; benefits include rapid preliminary screening to guide subsequent confirmatory testing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision/reproducibility evaluated per CLSI EP05-A3 and EP12-A using 11 urine concentrations (80 measurements each). Linearity assessed per NCCLS EP06-A across 10 concentrations. Analytical specificity tested against 10 endogenous compounds at +/- 25% of cutoff. Method comparison performed on 100 samples against Hitachi 717 and LC-MS/MS; demonstrated 91% agreement with LC-MS/MS for positive samples and 100% for negative samples.
Technological Characteristics
Enzyme immunoassay reagent kit; contains mouse monoclonal anti-morphine antibody, G6PDH enzyme-drug conjugate, NAD, and sodium azide preservative. Operates via competitive binding; absorbance measured on automated clinical chemistry analyzers (e.g., IR-500). Storage at 2-8°C. No specific ASTM materials cited.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of opiates in human urine at 300 ng/mL cutoff (calibrated against morphine) for professional, prescription-only use in clinical settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).

## 15. Summary of Performance Testing
The purpose of the performance studies was to validate that the previously cleared reagents have the same performance characteristics on the proposed new analyzer (Synermed IR-500) as compared to the previously cleared Hitachi 717. The sponsor has chosen the representative analyte Opiate using urine as the representative sample matrix.
## Analytical Performance
## a. Precision/Reproducibility
Verification of semi-quantitative precision on the Synermed IR-500 was accomplished by implementing the study protocol laid out in NCCLS document EP05-A3, Chapter 3. Qualitative verification was accomplished by implementing the study protocol laid out in CLSI EP12-A, Chapter 7. Eleven concentrations of pooled human urine were run for opiate. Each aliquot was run in duplicate twice a day for twenty days for a total of 80 measurements at each concentration. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were determined for opiate at each concentration. For qualitative analysis, the results were compared to the expected result (negative expected results should yield negative results in the precision study). Each level of pooled human urine was confirmed by Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry, for verification chromatography refer to Appendix A: UHPLC-MSMS Raw Data.

## b. Linearity/Reportable Range
Linearity studies were designed using NCCLS EP06-A. Samples were prepared by intermixing a high urine pool with a low urine pool to obtain ten concentrations across the measuring range with four replicates at each concentration.
