Intended Use

'RapidOne' - Marijuana Test is a one-step, lateral flow immunoassay for the detection of marijuana in urine. 'RapidOne' - Marijuana Test is intended for use in the qualitative detection of marijuana metabolite, 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC in human urine at 50 ng/ml. 'RapidOne' - Marijuana Test is intended for professional use. It is not intended for over the counter sale to non-professionals. The assay is easy to perform, but should not be used without proper supervision. This immunoassay is a simplified qualitative screening method that provides only a preliminary result for use in determining the need for additional or confirmatory testing, i.e., gas-chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or HPLC. 'RapidOne' - Marijuana Test provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method 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

RapidOne Marijuana Test is a lateral flow, one-step immunoassay for qualitative detection of 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC in human urine. Device consists of a membrane strip with immobilized drug conjugate and dried colloidal gold-antibody complex. Principle: competitive immunoassay; drug in urine competes with immobilized drug conjugate for limited antibody binding sites. Negative result: visible line in test area (no drug present). Positive result: absence of color band in test area (drug present). Control line confirms test validity. Intended for professional use in clinical settings; requires supervision. Provides preliminary results; clinical judgment and confirmatory testing (GC/MS) required for definitive diagnosis. Benefits include rapid, simplified screening for drug abuse.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparison study of 90 urine samples (50 drug-free, 40 positive) against 'Instacheck' and Syva EMIT-II. All 40 positive specimens (39-2200 ng/ml) confirmed by GC/MS. Both immunoassays correctly identified all negative and positive samples. Reproducibility evaluated over 5 days; 100% agreement at 50 ng/ml cutoff.

Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow immunoassay; membrane strip with immobilized drug conjugate and colloidal gold-antibody complex. Qualitative visual readout (colored bands). No external energy source required. Standalone test device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for professional use in the qualitative detection of 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC (marijuana metabolite) in human urine at a 50 ng/ml cutoff. Provides preliminary screening results requiring confirmation by GC/MS or HPLC.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A cannabinoid test system is a device intended to measure any of the cannabinoids, hallucinogenic compounds endogenous to marihuana, in serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. Cannabinoid compounds include delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabinol, and cannabichromene. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cannabinoid use or abuse and in monitoring levels of cannabinoids during clinical investigational use.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A cannabinoid 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).

The assigned 510(k) is: K990818 Predicate Device: Forefront Diagnostics, Inc. 'Instacheck' Drug Screen -Marijuana Test (510(k) No. K971959) ## Test Description: The assay employed in the 'RapidOne'- Marijuana Test is based on the same principle of highly specific reaction between antigens and antibodies. Each assay is a one-step, immunoassay in which a specially labeled drug (drug conjugate) competes with drug which may be present in the sample for the limited number of binding sites on the antibody. The test device consists of a membrane strip onto which a drug conjugate has been immobilized. A colloidal gold-antibody complex is dried at one end of the membrane. In the absence of any drug in the urine sample, the colloidal goldantibody complex moves with the urine by capillary action to contact the immobilized drug conjugate. An antibody-antigen reaction occurs forming a visible line in the 'test' area. The formation of a visible line in the test area occurs when the test is negative. When drug is present in the urine sample, the drug or metabolite will compete with the immobilized drug conjugate in the test area for the limited antibody sites on the colloidal gold-antibody complex. If sufficient amount of drug is present, it will fill all of the available binding sites, thus preventing attachment of the labeled antibody to the drug conjugate. An absence of a color band (line) in the test area is indicative of a positive result. {1}------------------------------------------------ A control band (line), comprised of a different antibody/antigen reaction, is present on the membrane strip. The control line is not influenced by the presence of absence of drug in the urine, and therefore, should be present in all reactions. A negative urine will produce two colored bands, and a positive sample will produce only one band. #### IntendedUse: 'RapidOne' - Marijuana Test is used for the qualitative detection of 11-nor-9-carboxydelta-9-THC in human urine. This immunoassay is a simplified qualitative screening method that provides only a preliminary result for use in determining the need for additional or confirmatory testing, i.e., gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/Ms). ### Performance Characteristics: 'RapidOne'-Marijuana Test will detect 50 ng/ml of 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC in urine. 'RapidOne'-Marijuana Test was compared to'Instacheck' Drug Screen-Marijuana Test. Ninety (90) samples were selected for evaluation, fifty (50) of which were found to be drug-free and thirty (40) tested as positive by Syva EMIT-II. The forty positive specimens were confirmed and quantified by GC/MS. Both immunoassays correctly identified all of the specimens which contained no drug as negative and determined the 40 drug-containing specimens, ranging in concentration of 39 ng/ml to 2200 ng/ml, to be positive. Reproducibility was evaluated using control urines containing concentrations above and below the stated cut-off. Negative urines were also used. Each sample, at each concentration of analyte, was tested 4 times, twice daily, for 5 days. | Conc.
