Intended Use
The QUEST DIAGNOSTICS HairCheck-DT (THC-COOH) is a bipartite device employing Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for qualitative screening at 1.0 pg/mg of THC-COOH and Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) for the final quantitative reporting of THC-COOH in hair specimens for the purpose of identifying chronic marijuana use. This process is intended exclusively for in-house professional use only. The process has not been evaluated for use with hair specimens other than head. Clinical consideration and professional judgement should be applied to any drug of abuse test result.

No
The description details standard laboratory techniques (ELISA and GC-MS-MS) for chemical analysis and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for identifying chronic marijuana use by detecting THC-COOH in hair specimens, not for treating a condition or disease.

Yes
The device is described as employing ELISA and GC-MS-MS for qualitative screening and quantitative reporting of THC-COOH in hair specimens to identify chronic marijuana use, which are diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it employs Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS), which are laboratory-based hardware technologies for analyzing hair specimens. This is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the QUEST DIAGNOSTICS HairCheck-DT (THC-COOH) is an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • It performs tests on biological specimens: The device analyzes hair specimens.
  • It uses laboratory methods: It employs ELISA and GC-MS-MS, which are standard laboratory techniques.
  • It provides information for diagnostic purposes: The test identifies chronic marijuana use by detecting and quantifying THC-COOH in hair. While not a clinical diagnosis in itself, it provides crucial information used in a diagnostic context (e.g., for workplace drug testing, legal proceedings, or clinical assessments).
  • The intended use is for in-house professional use: This indicates it's used in a laboratory or professional setting, typical for IVDs.

The definition of an IVD generally includes devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease or for the determination of the state of health. While identifying chronic marijuana use isn't a "disease" in the traditional sense, it falls under providing information about the "state of health" or for purposes like monitoring or assessment.

Therefore, the description strongly aligns with the characteristics of an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The QUEST DIAGNOSTICS HairCheck-DT (THC-COOH) is a bipartite device employing a sensitive immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for qualitative screening at 1.0 pg/mg of THC-COOH and Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS) for the final quantitative reporting of THC-COOH in hair for the purpose of identifying chronic marijuana use. This process has not been evaluated for use with hair specimens other than head hair. This process is intended exclusively for in-house professional use only. Clinical consideration and professional judgement should be applied to any drug of abuse test result.

§ 862.3870 Cannabinoid test system.

(a)
Identification. A cannabinoid test system is a device intended to measure any of the cannabinoids, hallucinogenic compounds endogenous to marihuana, in serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. Cannabinoid compounds includedelta -9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabinol, and cannabichromene. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cannabinoid use or abuse and in monitoring levels of cannabinoids during clinical investigational use.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A cannabinoid 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).
