The First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) is a screening test for the rapid detection of MDMA and its metabolites in human urine at a cut-off level of 500 ng/ml. The test is intended for consumer use as the first step in a two step process to provide consumers, including but not limited to concerned parents, with information concerning the presence or absence of MDMA or its metabolites in a urine sample. Such information is beneficial to consumer efforts to comply with applicable laws and/or societal expectations. Information regarding second step confirmatory testing is provided.
The First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy), like other commercially available drug screening tests, qualitatively measures the presence or absence of MDMA and its metabolites in urine, using a one step, rapid chromatographic immunoassay which operates under the principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes.
The document describes the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy), an immunoassay for the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in urine.
1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" for the consumer study, but it implies that the test should perform "excellently" in the hands of lay users and that consumers should be able to interpret the results effectively. The performance is compared to a predicate device.
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Performance | Excellent in hands of lay users | "demonstrates that the test exhibits excellent overall performance in the hands of lay users" |
| Specificity | Reacts specifically with MDMA and its metabolites | "the drug test reacts specifically with MDMA and its metabolites. The structurally related compounds d-amphetamine, l-amphetamine, d-methamphetamine, and l-methamphetamine at concentrations of 10 to 100 ug/ml produce negative test results." |
| User Interpretation | Consumers can effectively use and interpret results | "The data supports the conclusion that the consumer can use the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) to obtain immediate, preliminary information regarding the possible use of MDMA." |
| Cutoff Concentration | Not explicitly an acceptance criterion, but a defined threshold | 500 ng/ml for MDMA |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for the consumer study.
- Data Provenance: The consumer study was conducted using the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy). It is implied to be prospective, as it's a "consumer study." The country of origin is not specified but is implicitly the country where Worldwide Medical Corporation operates or markets its products, likely the USA given the FDA 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. The document describes a home drug test for lay users; the ground truth for consumer performance would not typically be established by experts interpreting the test results but rather by the ability of consumers to correctly use and interpret results (which may be verified against a reference method or expert interpretation of the reference method's results). The specificity testing against related compounds (d-amphetamine, l-amphetamine, etc.) would likely involve laboratory analysis overseen by qualified personnel, but the number and qualifications of those individuals are not mentioned.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable for the consumer study as described. The focus is on consumer use and interpretation, not expert adjudication of multiple readings.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned. The study described focuses on standalone performance by consumers. The effectiveness is implied by the "excellent overall performance in the hands of lay users" and their ability to obtain preliminary information.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
Yes, a standalone performance is described. The "consumer study" focuses on the device's performance when used by lay users without expert assistance or further intervention at the point of initial use and interpretation. The analytical studies of the identical Applied Biotech SureStep™ MDMA (Ecstasy) Drug Screen Test (K011133) on specificity also represent standalone performance in a laboratory setting.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- For Specificity: Laboratory reference methods testing for MDMA and its metabolites versus structurally related compounds at specified concentrations.
- For Consumer Study: The ground truth for the "excellent overall performance in the hands of lay users" and effective use/interpretation would likely be established by comparing consumer results to a definitive reference method (e.g., GC/MS) performed on the actual urine samples. The document states the test provides "preliminary information," implying further confirmatory testing is the ultimate ground truth.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device that would require a "training set" in the traditional sense. It's an immunoassay. The development and validation of such immunoassay devices involve extensive laboratory testing and optimization, but not typically a training set in the context of AI.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned for this immunoassay device.

- Discussion of Technological Characteristics: The First Check® Home Drug Test VIII. for MDMA (Ecstasy), like other commercially available drug screening tests, qualitatively measures the presence or absence of MDMA and its metabolites in urine, using a one step, rapid chromatographic immunoassay which operates under the principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes. Examples of predicate devices include the First Check® Home Drug Tests using a single or a multi-drug display. The analytical studies of the identical Applied Biotech SureStep™ MDMA (Ecstasy) Drug Screen Test (K011133) indicate that the drug test reacts specifically with MDMA and its metabolites. The structurally related compounds d- amphetamine, 1amphetamine, d- methamphetamine, and 1-methamphetamine at concentrations of 10 to 100 ug/ml produce negative test results. A consumer study using the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) demonstrates that the test exhibits excellent overall performance in the hands of lay users. The data supports the conclusion that the consumer can use the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) to obtain immediate, preliminary information regarding the possible use of MDMA. The cutoff concentration for MDMA is 500 ng/ml.
- IX. Safety and Effectiveness: Because the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) is identical to the Applied Biotech SureStep™ MDMA (Ecstasy) Drug Screen Test that is legally marketed under K011133, and because no special skills, training, education, or licensure are required to transfer a dropper level of urine sample into the test card well, there is no issue regarding the safety or effectiveness of the product to perform its intended function, i.e., to screen urine for the presence or absence of MDMA and its metabolite. Because the labeling of the First Check® Home Drug Test for MDMA (Ecstasy) is substantially equivalent to a variety of rapid screening tests currently in commercial distribution, including the Phamatech At Home™ Drug Test, and there have been no reports of consumer inability to follow instructions or interpret results during the twenty-four months in which the First Check® product line has been purchased by the general public and used in quantities exceeding 200,000 tests, it is concluded that the product can be used effectively by the lay user.
