For in vitro diagnostic use.
The Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with a cutoff of 200 ng/mL. The assay is intended for use in laboratories for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of tapentadol in human urine with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. This assay is calibrated against tapentadol. This in vitro diagnostic device is for prescription use only.
The Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation using a confirmatory method such as Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

The document describes the performance characteristics of the Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIATM, a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of tapentadol in human urine.
Here's an breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" alongside the "reported device performance" in a single, consolidated table. However, the performance characteristics section (G) details various studies with implicit acceptance criteria and their corresponding results. I've compiled this information into a table format based on the presented data:
| Study/Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Precision - Qualitative (Concentrations Relative to Cutoff) | Samples at -100%, -75%, -50%, -25% of cutoff should be Negative. Samples at +25%, +50%, +75%, +100% of cutoff should be Positive. Sample at Cutoff (200 ng/mL) expected to show a mix of positive/negative. | Lot 1: -100% to -25%: 80 Negative Cutoff: 41 Neg / 39 Pos +25% to +100%: 80 Positive Lot 2: -100% to -25%: 80 Negative Cutoff: 35 Neg / 45 Pos +25% to +100%: 80 Positive Lot 3: -100% to -25%: 80 Negative Cutoff: 42 Neg / 38 Pos +25% to +100%: 80 Positive |
| Precision - Semi-Quantitative (%CV) | %CV should be within acceptable limits (typically <10-20% for immunoassays depending on concentration). | %CV ranged from 3.6 to 9.7 for all lots tested. |
| Specificity and Cross-Reactivity (Qualitative) | Structurally and functionally similar compounds (except known metabolites) should not cross-react (i.e., yield negative results or equivalent concentration <200 ng/mL). | All tested compounds (e.g., Chlorpromazine, Clomipramine, Tramadol) showed < 0.2% cross-reactivity and were negative, except for N-desmethyl tapentadol (15.7% cross-reactivity) and tapentadol glucuronide (0.5% cross-reactivity), which are expected metabolites and showed positive results at equivalent concentrations. |
| Specificity and Cross-Reactivity (Semi-Quantitative % Cross-Reactivity) | % of cross-reactivity for structurally and functionally similar compounds (except known metabolites) should be low. | % of cross-reactivity was < 0.2% for all compounds tested except for N-desmethyl tapentadol (15.7%) and tapentadol glucuronide (0.5%). |
| Interference – Structurally Unrelated Compounds | No interference observed at specified concentrations. | No interference observed for all 90+ listed compounds at the tested concentrations (mostly 100,000 ng/mL, some 50,000 ng/mL). |
| Interference – Endogenous Compounds and Urine Preservatives | No interference observed at specified concentrations. | No interference observed for listed endogenous compounds (e.g., Acetone, Bilirubin, Glucose) and urine preservatives (Sodium Azide, Sodium Fluoride) at specified concentrations. Boric acid showed no interference at ±50% of cutoff. |
| Interference – pH | No positive or negative interference over the tested pH range. | No positive or negative interference observed at urine pH values ranging from 3.0 to 11.0. |
| Interference – Specific Gravity | No positive or negative interference over the tested specific gravity range. | No positive or negative interference observed at urine specific gravity values ranging from 1.000 to 1.030. |
| Linearity/Recovery | The assay should demonstrate linearity and acceptable recovery over the specified range. | Confirmed linear range 100-1100 ng/mL. Assay drug recovery percentage ranged from 95.8 to 110.4%. |
| Calibration Duration | Maintain performance for the recommended calibration frequency. | Test results met acceptance criteria up to 14 days, supporting a recommended 14-day calibration frequency. |
| Tapentadol Stability in Urine | Tapentadol samples should remain stable for a specified duration under defined storage conditions. | Urine samples stable for up to 14 days stored at 2°C - 8°C. |
| Method Comparison (Qualitative & Semi-Quantitative) | High agreement (PPA, NPA) with LC-MS/MS. | PPA: 100% (95/95) and NPA: 100% (65/65) for both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Precision Study:
- Sample Size: 9 panel members (concentrations from 0 to 400 ng/mL, including drug-free negative and spiked concentrations relative to the 200 ng/mL cutoff). Each panel member was tested in 80 replicates (20 days, 2 runs/day, 2 replicates/run), across 3 lots of reagent.
- Data Provenance: Drug-free negative urine was used as the base sample. Spiked concentrations were confirmed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The document does not explicitly state the country of origin of the data, nor whether it was retrospective or prospective, but precision studies are typically prospective laboratory experiments.
- Specificity and Cross-Reactivity:
- Sample Size: Varies per compound tested (implied multiple replicates to determine exact cross-reactivity percentage). Compounds were spiked into drug-free urine.
- Data Provenance: Laboratory study using spiked samples.
- Interference (Structurally Unrelated Compounds, Endogenous Compounds, Urine Preservatives, pH, Specific Gravity):
- Sample Size: Varies per compound/condition. Potential interferents were spiked into drug-free urine containing tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff (and ±50% for boric acid).
- Data Provenance: Laboratory study using spiked samples.
- Linearity/Recovery:
- Sample Size: A drug-free urine pool and a pool spiked with high concentration of tapentadol. Serially diluted to achieve 12 concentrations (0 to 1100 ng/mL). Each pool was tested in triplicate.
- Data Provenance: Laboratory study using spiked samples.
- Calibration Duration:
- Sample Size: Drug-free negative urine spiked with tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff. Tested at multiple time points up to 14 days.
- Data Provenance: Laboratory study using spiked samples.
- Tapentadol Stability in Urine:
- Sample Size: Urine samples from 4 participants who reported taking tapentadol.
- Data Provenance: Clinical samples, stored and tested over time.
- Method Comparison:
- Sample Size: 160 de-identified remnant unaltered clinical urine samples.
- Data Provenance: Retrospective; samples obtained from clinical testing laboratories. Country of origin not specified.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This device is an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) assay for substance detection, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.
- For the precision, specificity, linearity, and interference studies, the ground truth was established by known concentrations of analytes/compounds prepared in the laboratory, often confirmed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which is considered a gold standard analytical method. No human experts were involved in establishing this type of ground truth.
- For the method comparison study, the Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) acted as the reference method (ground truth). This is an analytical chemistry technique, not dependent on expert visual interpretation. The document references "Agilent 6430 Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry" as the instrument used.
Therefore, the concept of "number of experts" and "qualifications of those experts" does not apply in the same way it would for imaging-based AI diagnostics.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. The ground truth for this chemical assay is primarily based on quantitative analytical methods (LC-MS/MS for confirmation/comparison) and precisely prepared spiked samples with known concentrations. There is no human interpretation or subjective assessment that would require an adjudication method among experts.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is an in vitro diagnostic assay, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that involves human readers interpreting results. Therefore, an MRMC study or a study on human reader improvement with AI assistance was not conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device itself is a standalone immunoassay (a chemical test) that provides a result (qualitative or semi-quantitative). Its performance is evaluated directly against analytical ground truth (LC-MS/MS). The concept of "algorithm only" or "human-in-the-loop" isn't directly applicable in the same way it is for AI-driven software where human input might influence the output. The assay generates a quantifiable signal which is then interpreted against a cutoff, which is an automated process on a clinical chemistry analyzer.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The primary type of ground truth used was:
- Known concentrations/preparations: For precision, specificity, interference, linearity, calibration duration.
- Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS): Considered a gold standard confirmatory method for drug testing, used as the reference method (ground truth) for the method comparison study.
8. The sample size for the training set
This document describes a traditional in vitro diagnostic immunoassay, not an AI/machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning. The assay's performance characteristics are inherent to its chemical/biological design and reagents, not learned from data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for a traditional immunoassay.

D. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for use in laboratories for the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of tapentadol in human urine with automated clinical chemistry analyzers. This assay is calibrated against tapentadol. This in vitro diagnostic device is for prescription use only.
The Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.

The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation using a confirmatory method such as Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).
Tapentadol is a centrally acting analgesic approved by the FDA in 2008 to treat moderate to severe pain in adults. It is a u-opioid receptor agonist and is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance. The therapeutic doses of tapentadol are generally between 50 and 600 mg/ day (the range specified by the package insert)} with a median of 200 mg/day. About 99% of ingested tapentadol undergoes glucuronide conjugation (55%) and sulfate conjugation (15%) before excretion into the urine233. Wu et a14. described urine concentrations of tapentadol and its metabolites in 736 samples. The parent drug and all three metabolites were detected together in 79.9% of positive specimens (n = 586); the parent drug was detected together with glucuronide conjugate in 7.1% of positive samples. Parent drug was detected without metabolites in 49 samples. The median

G. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
The following laboratory performance studies were performed to determine substantial equivalence of the Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ to the predicate device. Assay performance was established using the Beckman Coulter AU480 chemistry analyzer.
1. Precision
Precision study was performed over 20 days, two runs per day in duplicates (20 x 2 x 2 replicates per panel member) for a total of 80 replicates (N=80) on 3 lots of reagent. Nine panel members were made using Drug free negative urine as the base sample and 8 panel members were spiked to concentrations of assay cutoff and ±25%, ±50%, ±75%, ±100%

of the cutoff (200 ng/mL). The concentrations used for spiking were confirmed by mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The data demonstrates all sample concentration ranging from -100% to -25% of the cutoff were negative and all sample concentrations ranging from +25% to +100% of cutoff were positive for both qualitative and semi-quantitative interpretations. The %CV of the semi-quantitative results ranged from 3.6 to 9.7 for all lots tested. The study established the repeatability of the assay. Test results in qualitative and semi-quantitative modes for a representative lot are presented in Tables 2 to 7.

Structurally and functionally similar compounds were spiked into drug free urine at levels that will yield a result that is equivalent to the cutoff. The data demonstrates all sample compounds tested were negative by both the qualitative and semi-quantitative interpretations except for N-desmethyl tapentadol glucuronide. The % of cross- reactivity of the semi-quantitative results was < 0.2 % for all compounds tested except for N-desmethyl tapentadol with 15.7% and tapentadol glucuronide with 0.5% of cross- reactivity. Cross-reactivity test results in qualitative mode are presented in Table 8. Cross-reactivity test results in semi-quantitative mode are presented in Table 9.

4. Interference – Endogenous Compounds and Urine Preservatives
Endogenous compounds and urine preservatives were evaluated in qualitative and semiquantitative modes by spiking the potential interferent into drug free urine containing tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff. Due to the interference of boric acid observed at ±25% of the cutoff, potential interference was also evaluated at ±50% of the cutoff. Endogenous compounds and urine preservative tested that did not interfere in the assay are presented in Tables 11 and 12. Boric acid interference test results at ±50% of the cutoff in qualitative and semi-quantitative modes are presented in Table 13.

5. Interference – pH
To evaluate potential interference from the effect of urine pH on the assay's ability to detect tapentadol, device performance in the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes was tested using a range of urine pH values (3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0). All test samples were prepared in drug free urine containing tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff. No positive or negative interference was observed at urine pH values ranging from 3.0 to 11.0 for each test mode.
{17}------------------------------------------------
6. Interference - Specific Gravity
To evaluate potential interference from the specific gravity of urine on the assay's ability to detect tapentadol, device performance in the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes was tested using a range of physiologically relevant urine specific gravity values (1.000, 1.002, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025 and 1.030). All test samples were prepared in drug free urine containing tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff. No positive or negative interference was observed at urine specific gravity values ranging from 1.000 to 1.030 for each test mode.
7. Linearity/Recovery
A linearity study in the semi-quantitative mode was conducted by spiking a drug free urine pool with a high concentration of tapentadol above the highest calibrator. Additional pools were made by serially diluting the high concentration specimen with drug free urine to achieve concentrations ranging from 1100 to 100 ng/mL. The 0 ng/mL specimen was made from drug free urine. Each pool was tested in triplicate to calculate the mean concentration values that were used to calculate drug recovery of tapentadol. The study confirmed the linear range to be 100-1100 ng/mL. The assay drug recovery percentage ranged from 95.8 to 110.4 %. Linearity test results in semi-quantitative mode are presented in Tables 14.
| Expected Concentration | Mean Concentration | Recovery (%) |

8. Calibration Duration
Drug free negative urine spiked with tapentadol at ±25% of the cutoff were tested in qualitative and semi-quantitative mode at time points up to 14 days. At the initial time point, a two-point calibration curve was established in qualitative mode and a multi-point calibration curve was established in semi-quantitative mode. This calibration was used through the duration of this study. The test results met acceptance criteria at each time point. The recommended frequency of calibration is 14 days.
9. Tapentadol Stability in Urine
Urine samples were collected from 4 participants who reported taking tapentadol in the last 24 hours. These samples were tested within 4 hours of sample collection. Test results indicated that urine samples containing tapentadol are stable for up to 14 days stored at 2°C - 8°C.
10. Method Comparison
A method comparison study was performed using 160 deidentified remnant unaltered clinical urine samples obtained from clinical testing laboratories. The urine samples were analyzed for tapentadol using the Immunalysis tapentadol Urine HEIA™ in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The instruments used were the Beckman Coulter AU480 chemistry analyzer and an Agilent 6430 Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry. The method comparison study demonstrates that the Immunalysis Tapentadol Urine HEIA™ is an accurate test method in comparison to LC-MS/MS with a positive percent agreement (PPA) and negative percent agreement (NPA) of 100% and 100%, respectively. The results are presented from Tables 15 and 16.

§ 862.3650 Opiate test system.
(a)
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.(b)
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).
