Intended Use
This device is a one-step intended to provide qualitative rapid detection of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, or Ecstasy, XTC) in human urine at a cut-off concentration of 500ng/ml. It is for health care professional use only. This test provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Description
A one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. The test strip in the device includes 1) a conjugate pad containing colloidal gold coupled with mouse anti-MDMA antibody; 2) nitrocellulose membrane containing a test line (T line) coated with MEMA-BSA and a control line (C line) coated with Goat anti mouse antibody.

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a standard lateral flow immunoassay, with no mention of AI or ML components or methodologies.

No
This device is for qualitative detection of MDMA in urine and provides preliminary analytical results for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or preventing disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to provide "qualitative rapid detection of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)" in human urine. Detection of substances in the body for diagnostic purposes falls under the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay" with physical components like a test strip, conjugate pad, and nitrocellulose membrane, indicating it is a hardware-based device, not software-only.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative rapid detection of methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, or Ecstasy, XTC) in human urine". This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (urine) to provide information about a physiological state (presence of MDMA).
  • Device Description: The description details a "lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay". Immunoassays are a common type of test used in IVD devices to detect specific substances in biological samples.
  • Sample Type: The test is performed on "human urine".
  • Purpose: The purpose is to detect the presence of a substance (MDMA) in a biological sample, which is a core function of IVD devices.

The fact that it's for "health care professional use only" and provides a "preliminary analytical test result" that requires confirmation by another method (like GC/MS) does not negate its classification as an IVD. Many IVD tests are designed for professional use and serve as screening tools requiring further confirmation.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Accuracy studies: Eighty clinical urine specimens with MDMA GC/MS data was evaluated with the Instant-View™ MDMA (Ecstasy, XTC) Urine Test. The results from the Instant-View™ MDMA (Ecstasy, XTC) Urine Test agreed 100% with the MDMA GC/MS data of the clinical specimens at the level below 75% of the cutoff and above the cutoff. Two (2) discrepancies were observed on the specimens with the MDMA GC/MS data between the cutoff level and the level of 75% cutoff. The overall agreement is 97.5%.

Reproducibility studies: The reproducibility of this device was studied outside of Alfa at three Physician's Office Laboratories (POL) and one reference laboratory. Evaluations were performed by personnel with diverse educational backgrounds and working experiences. The results from the four evaluation sites agreed 97.5%, indicating a high reproducibility of this device.

Specificity studies: Two of the structurally related compounds showed cross reactivity with this device: methylenedioxyampphetamine (MDA) at 2000 ng/ml and methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA) at 1000 ng/ml. Other structurally related compounds tested did not show cross reactivity or interference with this device at the concentration of 100 µg/ml.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Overall agreement is 97.5% (accuracy study).
Reproducibility agreement 97.5%.
Cross reactivity: methylenedioxyampphetamine (MDA) at 2000 ng/ml and methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA) at 1000 ng/ml.

§ 862.3610 Methamphetamine test system.

(a)
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.(b)
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).
