Intended Use
The ACON BUP One Step Buprenorphine Test Strip and the ACON BUP One Step Buprenorphine Test Device are rapid chromatographic immunoassays for the qualitative detection of Buprenorphine in human urine at a designated cutoff concentration of 10 ng/mL. They are intended for use by healthcare professionals including professionals at point-of-care sites to assist in the determination of drug compliance. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result atchuid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory mcthods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Description
The ACON BUP One Step Buprenorphine Test Strip and the ACON BUP One Step Buprenorphine Test Device are competitive binding, lateral flow immunochromatographic assays for the qualitative screening of Buprenorphine in a urine sample. The test is based on the principle of antigen-antibody immunochemistry. It utilizes the mouse monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of Buprenorphine in urine at a cutoff concentration of 10 ng/mL. These tests can be performed without the use of an instrument. A drug-positive urine specimen will not generate a colored-line in the designated test region, while a negative urine specimen or a urine specimen containing Buprenorphine at the concentration below the cutoff level will generate a colored-line in the test region. To serve as a procedural control, a colored-line should always appear at the control region, indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.

No
The device description details a lateral flow immunochromatographic assay that provides a visual result based on antigen-antibody reactions, without any mention of computational analysis or algorithms.

No.
The device is a rapid test for detecting Buprenorphine in urine, intended for diagnostic purposes (drug compliance), not for therapeutic treatment.

Yes

The device is intended for the qualitative detection of Buprenorphine in human urine to assist in the determination of drug compliance, which is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "rapid chromatographic immunoassay" and a "competitive binding, lateral flow immunochromatographic assay," which are physical test strips/devices that utilize chemical reactions to detect substances. It also mentions "membrane wicking" and the appearance of "colored-line[s]," indicating a physical process, not a software-only function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "qualitative detection of Buprenorphine in human urine" and is "intended for use by healthcare professionals... to assist in the determination of drug compliance." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (urine) to provide information about a person's health status (presence of Buprenorphine).
  • Device Description: The description details a "rapid chromatographic immunoassay" that utilizes "antigen-antibody immunochemistry" to detect a substance in a "urine sample." This is a common characteristic of IVD devices.
  • Performance Studies: The document describes clinical evaluations using "clinical urine specimens" and comparisons to other tests and a confirmatory method (LC/MS), which are standard practices for validating the performance of IVD devices.

The definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device generally includes instruments, reagents, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. While this device is for drug compliance rather than diagnosing a disease, it is still performing a test on a sample taken from the body to provide information about a person's physiological state, which falls under the broader scope of IVD devices.

§ 862.3650 Opiate test system.

(a)
Identification. An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).
