Intended Use
The At Home Cocaine & THC Screening Test is a rapid, qualitative immunoassav for the detection of target drugs/metabolites in urine. The cut-off concentration for these tests is as follows: cocaine; 300 ng/ml and THC; 50 ng/ml. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in preventing drug abuse. This kit is designed to incorporate a mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing to be performed at a certified laboratory.
Device Story
At Home Cocaine & THC Screening Test (Model 9170) is a rapid, qualitative, one-step visual immunoassay for urine drug screening. Device utilizes immunochemical sandwich assay principle; specific antibodies bind to target drug/metabolite complexes to produce visual color change. Intended for home use by lay users to assist in drug abuse prevention. Kit includes mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing at certified laboratories. Output is visual qualitative result (presence/absence of drug). Benefits include accessible, preliminary screening for drug abuse in non-clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated via correlation study and blind labeled spiked study. Clinical specimens compared against Behring EMIT II and GC/MS methodology showed >98% correlation. Clinical studies at two independent labs and a consumer study demonstrated >97% overall accuracy in both professional and lay user hands.
Technological Characteristics
Visual color sandwich one-step immunoassay. Qualitative detection of cocaine (300 ng/ml cutoff) and THC (50 ng/ml cutoff) in urine. No electronic components, software, or external energy sources required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for home use to provide preliminary qualitative detection of cocaine and THC metabolites in urine to assist in preventing drug abuse. Includes mechanism for anonymous laboratory confirmation.

## 510 (k) SUMMARY AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 807.92(C)
At Home Cocaine & THC Screening Test (Model 9170) Identification:
Description: Immunoassay for the qualitative detection of cocaine and THC in urine,
Name Of Manufacturer:
Phamatech 9265 Activity Road #112 San Diego, California 92126, USA
Intended Use: The At Home Cocaine & THC Screening Test is a rapid, qualitative immunoassav for the detection of target drugs/metabolites in urine. The cut-off concentration for these tests is as follows: cocaine; 300 ng/ml and THC; 50 ng/ml. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in preventing drug abuse. This kit is designed to incorporate a mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing to be performed at a certified laboratory.
Technology: The At Home Test, like many commercially available drug screening test kits, qualitatively measures the presence of target drugs or their metabolites by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the ABMC (Ancramdale, NY), the Applied Biotech SureStep Test (San Diego, CA 92121) and the Phamatech QuickScreen™ At Home Drug Test (San Diego, CA). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / target drug / antibody / complexes.
Performance: The product performance characteristics of the At Home Cocaine and THC Screening Test were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Phamatech At HomeTest to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of the stated target drugs in urine. Correlations studies, using clinical specimens, produced a >98% correlation when compared to the Behring EMIT II (Cupertino, CA 95014) and GC/MS methodology. Clinical studies, performed at two independent laboratories, were also performed. In them the Phamatech At HomeCocaine & THC test exhibited excellent overall accuracy (>97%) in the hands of professional users. A consumer study was also performed., in it the At Home Cocaine & THC Test exhibited excellent overall accuracy (>97%) in the hands of lay users.
Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech At Home Cocaine & THC Screening Test is substantially equivalent to a variety of detection tests currently in commercial distribution and is safe in the hands of the lay user.
