Intended Use

The Instant-View™ Methamphetamine Urine Cassette Test is a qualitative immunoassay device intended to detect methamphetamine in human urine at a cutoff level of 500 ng/ml. It is intended for health care professional use only.

Device Story

The Instant-View Methamphetamine Urine Cassette Test is a lateral flow, competitive binding immunoassay for the qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human urine. Used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings, the device utilizes a test cassette format. The principle of operation relies on the formation of specific methamphetamine/antibody complexes. A negative result is indicated by the appearance of two lines (control and test), while a positive result is indicated by the appearance of only one line (control). The test provides a preliminary analytical result; positive findings require confirmation via an alternate chemical method, such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry (GC/MS). The device assists clinicians in identifying potential substance abuse, facilitating further diagnostic or clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation included performance studies at three Physician Office Laboratory (POL) sites and a clinical laboratory. Results showed 98.3% agreement across POL sites and 95.2% accuracy in a clinical laboratory setting compared to expected results. Correlation of results was reported as higher than 97.5%.

Technological Characteristics

One-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay; competitive binding principle; utilizes specific methamphetamine/antibody complex formation. Device is a cassette-based test for in vitro diagnostic use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human urine at a 500 ng/ml cutoff level. Intended for use by healthcare professionals for preliminary screening; requires confirmatory testing (e.g., GC/MS) for positive results.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A methamphetamine test system is a device intended to measure methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.

Special Controls

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