The device description and performance studies focus on traditional immunoassay technology and optical scanning for qualitative results. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms being used for analysis or interpretation.
No
This device is a diagnostic test system used to screen for drugs (opiates and methadone) in oral fluid, not to treat a medical condition.
Yes
The device is intended for qualitative screening of opiates and methadone in human oral fluid, providing preliminary analytical test results for substances in the body, which is a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of three parts: an oral fluid collection device, a test cartridge, and the Cozart RapiScan instrument, which is a hardware component (a hand-held low voltage optical scanner).
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it is for "Point of Care testing" and provides "qualitative screening results for opiates and methadone in human oral fluid." This clearly indicates it is used to test a biological sample (oral fluid) in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information (presence of opiates and methadone).
- Device Description: The device is described as a "test system" composed of components designed to collect, process, and analyze a biological sample (oral fluid collection device, test cartridge, and instrument).
- Performance Studies: The document details various performance studies (Method Comparison, Precision, Sensitivity, Specificity, etc.) which are standard for evaluating the performance of IVD devices.
- Key Metrics: The document provides key metrics like sensitivity and specificity, which are used to assess the analytical performance of an IVD.
- Predicate Device(s): The mention of predicate devices (K971961, RapidOne Opiates Test; K992325, RapidOne Methadone Test) which are also IVDs, further supports that this device falls under the same category.
The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) is a medical device that is used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases or other conditions. This device fits that definition by testing oral fluid for the presence of opiates and methadone.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Cozart RapiScan Oral Fluid Drug Test System - Opiates and Methadone is intended for Point of Care testing in a number of settings such as prescription workplace, drug dependency clinics, and criminal justice. It provides qualitative screening results for opiates and methadone in human oral fluid at a cut-off concentration equivalent to 40ng/mL and 30ng/mL respectively in neat oral fluid. The cozart collection system involves a 1:3 dilution of the oral fluid sample, this dilution factor is corrected for in the Cozart RapiScan Drug Test and therefore the remainder of this document will refer to the cut-offs as 13ng/mL for opiates and 10ng/ml for methadone.
This kit has to be used in conjunction with the Cozart RapiScan instrument. Please refer to the sampling and testing procedures in the instructions for use leaflet.
This assay is for professional use only and provides only a preliminary analytical test result. Clinical consideration and professional judgement must be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a more confirmed analytical result a more specific alternative chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
It is the responsibility of those organisations required to follow department of transportation (DOT) or the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Workplace Drug Testing guidelines to determine that this product satisfies the criteria for workplace testing established under DOT and SAMHSA.

This kit has to be used in conjunction with the Cozart RapiScan instrument. Please refer to the sampling and testing procedures in the instructions for use leaflet.
This assay is for professional use only and provides only a preliminary analytical test result. Clinical consideration and professional judgement must be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a more confirmed analytical result a more specific alternative chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
Where Used
The Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test is designed for point of care testing. All users of the test are trained by a Cozart representative, at the end of the training programme a certificate is issued.
Design and Materials
As can be seen from the Principle of the Test section in the package insert, the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system is a point of care test for the detection of opiates and methadone in human oral fluid.
The Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system is composed of three parts - the oral fluid collection device, the opiates and methadone test cartridge and the Cozart RapiScan instrument.
1. Oral fluid Collection Device
This device is composed of an oral fluid collector pad, a transport tube containing run buffer and a dispense filter tube. The oral fluid collection pad is manufactured by Oral fluid Diagnostic Systems Inc, New York, USA. It is composed of a white plastic handle and a cellulose pad with a perforated edge. The white plastic handle incorporates a sample adequacy indicator, when 1mL of oral fluid has been collected the indicator in the handle turns blue.
The dispense filter tube pushes the sample pad down to the bottom of the transport tube and assists in mixing the oral fluid and buffer. The top of the tube is partially sealed incorporating a dropper dispense facility into the top. Six drops of the sample are added to the cartridge with the dispense filter tube.

2. Opiate and Methadone Test Cartridge
This is composed of a white reaction strip with immobilized drug sites for opiates and methadone contained in a blue plastic casing. The cartridge also has a pad containing gold labeled anti-morphine and gold labeled anti-methadone antibodies. In addition, the cartridge has a built in control line of sheep anti-mouse IgG antibody to ascertain that complete lateral transfer of specimen has been achieved. The opiate and methadone test cartridge is a single use device which should be disposed of after use.
3. Cozart RapiScan Instrument
The Cozart RapiScan instrument is a battery-powered instrument whose function is to automate the analysis of the opiate/methadone test cartridge. It is a hand-held low voltage optical scanner (complies with Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC).
The cartridge is inserted into the machine for reading and is removed after the test has been read. Results are displayed on the screen as positive or negative. The Cozart RapiScan instrument must be used to read the cartridges, this eliminates the subjectivity of reading by eye.
The instrument is supplied with pre-printed non-disposable system test, positive QC and negative QC cartridges. The system test cartridge (labeled with SYS) is designed to test whether the instrument is functioning correctly. This should be performed at regular intervals throughout the use of the machine or when the instrument has been manhandled eg. dropped. The instrument displays SYSTEM TEST PASS or SYSTEM TEST FAIL on the screen of the instrument. The positive and negative OC cartridges (labeled with POC and NOC) should be analysed at regular intervals in the same way as a test sample.
Performing the Test
A oral fluid sample is collected from the mouth by placing the sample pad under the tongue ensuring the pad is pointing downwards. This process can take from 1-10 minutes. Once the indicator in the sample pad has turned blue and 1mL of oral fluid has been collected the sample pad is removed from the mouth and placed into the transport tube. The pad is removed from the plastic handle along the perforated edge. The dispense filter tube is pushed into the transport tube purple end down until the sample pad is pushed to the bottom of the tube. The sample is then ready for testing.
The opiates and methadone test cartridge is removed from its foil pouch and placed on a flat surface. The transfer tube is carefully and very slowly inverted until it is horizontal. To add the sample, gently squeeze the end of the filter tube transferring 6 drops of sample into the cartridge. Once the liquid has appeared in the cartridge window, this takes between 2 and 60 seconds, the cartridge is then inserted into the Cozart RapiScan instrument. Pressing the start button initiates the timer to countdown 6 minutes after which the instrument automatically reads the cartridge and displays the results on the instrument screen. The results are displayed as positive or negative.
3
The Cozart RapiScan test cartridge and sample collection device are designed for use with the Cozart RapiScan instrument. The cartridges must be read with the instrument and not by eye. In addition to the quality control cartridges supplied with the instrument, other quality control specimens with known drug concentrations should be run through the test procedure following appropriate federal, state and local guidelines concerning the running of external quality controls. These are not supplied with the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system.
Interpreting the Result
The result is displayed on the screen of the Cozart RapiScan instrument as positive or negative. This means that the diluted sample has methadone or an opiate present. The dilution factor should be taken into consideration when interpreting the results, that is, 1mL of oral fluid is diluted in 2mL of Cozart RapiScan buffer (x3 dilution factor). 10ng/mL of methadone in a diluted sample will produce a positive result, this is equivalent to 30ng/mL in neat oral fluid. Similarly, 13ng/mL of morphine will produce a positive result, this is equivalent to 40ng/mL morphine in neat oral fluid. The test provides only a preliminary result and in order to obtain a more confirmed result Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis should be performed.

Method Comparison
The method comparison study using the Cozart RapiScan Opiates and Methadone test system was performed at Cozart Bioscience Ltd by Cozart Bioscience staff. The GC/MS was performed by FSS Chepstow UK, University of Glasgow, Scotland, and The Analytical Laboratory at Cozart Bioscience Ltd, UK.
A total of 454 Oral fluid samples were tested in the Cozart RapiScan Drug Test System according to the package insert.
99 samples from drug users enrolled at a drug rehabilitation clinic, were positive for opiates by the Cozart RapiScan System, of these samples 93 were confirmed positive by GC/MS. The GC/MS employs the set cut-off of 40ng/mL for Opiates in neat oral fluid.
124 samples were negative for opiates, 123 of these samples were confirmed negative by GC/MS. Of the negative samples 103 were from drug free volunteers, and the remaining 21 were from known drug users.
24 of all samples tested were within +50% to - 50% of the opiate cut-off. Of these, 14 had been previously diluted with blank saliva to give a concentration within the range of 60ng/mL to 20ng/mL.
116 samples from drug users enrolled at a drug rehabilitation clinic, were positive for Methadone by the Cozart RapiScan System and 116 were confirmed positive by GC/MS. The GC/MS employs the set cut-off of 30ng/mL for Methadone in neat oral fluid
4
115 samples were negative in the Cozart RapiScan System and were confirmed negative by GC/MS. 102 of these samples were from drug free volunteers, and the remaining 13 were from known drug users.
24 of all samples tested were within -50% to +50% of the methadone cut-off. Of these, 20 had previously been diluted with blank saliva to give a concentration within the range 45ng/mL to 15ng/mL.
Precision
Four oral fluid samples were tested in duplicate every day for twenty days. The samples were a negative sample spiked with drug at the cutoff concentration and negative samples spiked to 50% above and below the cutoff.
| Opiate | Opiate Concentration (ng/mL) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 6.5 | 13 | 19.5 | |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 40 | 40 |
| Negative | 40 | 40 | 0 | 0 |
Acceptable results were obtained as can be seen in the table below:
| Methadone | Methadone Concentration (ng/mL) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 40 | 40 |
| Negative | 40 | 40 | 0 | 0 |
To check whether the use of the Cozart RapiScan Drug Test System Opiates/Methadone might be somehow influenced by a testing environment different from a laboratory setting, and by being used by untrained personnel, an extended Precision Study was conducted at 3 Point Of Care sites. Four oral fluid samples were collected from drug free volunteers and aliquots were fortified with Morphine and Methadone at the concentrations shown below just prior to onsite testing. The samples were tested up to 9 times for each site. The table below shows the results obtained.
| Opiate | Opiate Concentration (ng/mL) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 6.5 | 13 | 19.5 | |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 25 | 25 |
| Negative | 25 | 26 | 1 | 0 |
| Methadone | Methadone Concentration (ng/ml) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 5 | 10 | 15 | |
| Positive | 0 | 0 | 24 | 23 |
| Negative | 25 | 26 | 2 | 2 |
Sensitivity
Eight negative oral fluid samples fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above the cutoff concentration were serially diluted in increments of 25% of the cutoff concentration of the assay. The lowest concentration of drug detected above the detection cutoff is the detection limit. The detection limit for opiates is between 9.75ng/ml (-25% of the cut off value) and 6.5ng/ml (-50% of the cut off value) and for
5
methadone is between 7.5ng/ml (-25% of the cut off value) and 5ng/ml (-50% of the cut off value).
Specificity
The specificity can be defined as the extent to which related or unrelated compounds cross-react with the antibody employed in the assay. Twenty-eight potentially interfering substances were tested at 100,000ng/mL for cross-reactivity in the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test and none were found to cross-react. Burrenorphine was tested at 10.000ng/mL due to the stock solution being at 100,000ng/mL.
The lowest concentration to produce a positive was determined for a number of related substances. Thirteen different members of the opiate family were tested morphine, 6-monoacetylmorphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, nalorphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, hydrocodone, oxymorphone, norcodeine, heroin and morphine-3-glucuronide. Similarly, methadone and three of its metabolites were 1-x-acetylmethadol (LAAM). 2-ethylidene-1.5-dimethyl-3.3tested diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP), 2-ethylidene-5-methyl-3.3-diphenylpyrroline (EMDP). This experiment was carried out on three different batches of opiate/methadone test cartridges.
Cutoff Concentration
The cutoff concentration was determined by preparing 8 fortified oral fluid samples at the cutoff concentration. 50% above and below the cutoff concentrations and 100% above and below the cutoff concentrations. All the samples fortified at 50% below the cutoff were negative for both methadone and opiates. All the samples fortified at the cutoff concentration. 50% above and below the cutoff concentration and 100% above and below the cutoff concentration were positive for both opiates and methadone.
Interference Studies
A range of parameters including sample adequacy indicator dye, haemoglobin, smoking, coffee, tea, water, food, orange juice, hard candy, chewing gum and mouthwash were tested for interference in the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system. No interference was observed with any of the parameters.
Sample Stability
Samples were collected from volunteers, two were fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above the cutoff and two were fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% below the cutoff concentration. The fortified samples and also two negative samples were then stored at both room temperature and 2-8°C and tested at day 0. 3. 7. 14. 21 and 28 in the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system. Samples are stable at both room temperature and 2-8°C for 28 days.
6
Freeze/Thaw Stability
Samples were collected from volunteers, two were fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above the cutoff and two were fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% below the cutoff concentration. The fortified samples and also two negative samples were then subjected to six freeze/thaw cycles at -20°C before testing in the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system. Samples can undergo up to six freeze/thaw cycles prior to testing.
Time of Day Comparison
This experiment was designed to investigate whether sampling at different times of the day would have an effect on the results obtained with the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test. Samples were collected from four volunteers at three different times of the day - morning, midday and evening. The morning sample was taken before breakfast. the midday sample was taken before lunch and the evening sample before bed. Each sample was then fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above and below the cutoff concentration and tested. Sampling at different times of the day had no effect on the results obtained with the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system.
Instrument Comparison
This experiment was designed to investigate whether different instruments would produce different results with the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system. Samples were collected from four volunteers and spiked with morphine and methadone at 50% above and below the cutoff concentration then tested. All the testing was performed by a single operator with the same set of samples to ensure the only variable was the instrument. All three instruments produced unambiguous results.
Operator Comparison
This experiment was designed to ensure that the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system is not sensitive to operator effects. Samples were collected from four volunteers and fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above and below the cutoff concentration. The samples were tested by inexperienced operators with the same instrument. The results for each sample were unambiguous for all three operators.
Accuracy/Recovery
Samples were collected from four volunteers and fortified with morphine and methadone at 50% above and below the cutoff concentration. This gave samples from four individuals at three concentrations - 0, 6.5 and 19.5ng/mL for morphine and 0, 5 and 15ng/mL for methadone. To these samples drug was added at 50% above and below the cutoff concentration, at the cutoff concentration and 100% above the cutoff concentration. The samples were tested in the Cozart RapiScan opiates and methadone test system. All samples were positive with the exception of the negative sample fortified with drug at 50% below the cutoff concentration as expected.
7
New Filter Tube
This experiment was designed to ensure that the sample testing volume from the new plunger. Previous testing showed that four drops from the old plunger were equal, on average, to six drops from the new plunger. Four different operators, weighted two sample each, one with the old system and one with the new system. This operation was repeated ten times. The balance used was a FX-40 AND Electronic balance [(d=0.0001g) serial no. 05704015], which is periodically calibrated according to Standard Operating Procedures. The results show no significant difference in weight between the two systems.
Chemical Safety
The sample collection contains Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) obtained from a BSE free source. The cartridges are composed of a nitrocellulose membrane which may explode at high temperatures.
Human Factors
There are no human factors incorporated in any of the kit components.
