The iMDx™ System is an in vitro diagnostic device consisting of iMDx™ Analyzer and iMDxPrep™ Assays. The system is an expandable, closed system. All assays are designed for use with automated iMDx™ Analyzer. The system has been designed to be used by practitioners in drug rehabilitation clinics, physician offices, and clinical laboratories.
The Opiates (Morphine), Benzodiazepine (Oxazepam) and Cocaine Metabolite (Benzoylecgonine) Assays are an enzyme immunoassav with a 300ng/mL cutoff. These assays are intended for use in the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of Opiates, Benzodiazepine and Cocaine Metabolite in human urine. The Methadone Metabolite (EDDP) Assay is an enzyme immunoassay with a 100ng/mL cutoff. The assay is intended for use in the qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis of Methadone Metabolite in human urine. For point of care use semi-quantitative analysis is only for estimation of dilution for confirmation testing.
The Ethyl Alcohol Assay is an enzymatic assay intended for use in quantitative analysis of ethyl alcohol in human urine. Measurements contained are used in the diagnosis and treatment of alcohol intoxication and poisoning.
All assays provide only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to a drug test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a confirmed analytical result, a more specific alternate chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis is performed. FOR USE BY TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. Only operators trained in the use of the iMDx™ System by NOVX personnel should perform these procedures.

§ 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).
