A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any test result.
Device Description
The MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test is a rapid, single use, one-step qualitative immunochromatographic screening assay for the detection of Buprenorphine and its metabolites in human urine.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a standard immunochromatographic assay with visual interpretation, not involving AI or ML.

No
The device is a diagnostic test for detecting buprenorphine in urine, not a device used for therapy or treatment.

Yes

The device is intended for the rapid, qualitative detection of buprenorphine and its metabolites in human urine, which is a diagnostic purpose. The text states it "provides only a preliminary analytical test result" and that "Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any test result," confirming its role in diagnosing a condition (drug presence).

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "immunochromatographic test strip" and a "rapid, single use, one-step qualitative immunochromatographic screening assay," indicating it is a physical test kit that analyzes urine, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The description explicitly states it's for the "rapid, qualitative detection of buprenorphine and its metabolites in human urine." This is a classic definition of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes a sample taken from the human body (urine) outside of the body ("in vitro") to provide diagnostic information (presence of buprenorphine).
  • Device Description: It's described as a "qualitative immunochromatographic screening assay for the detection of Buprenorphine and its metabolites in human urine." This further confirms it's a test performed on a biological sample.
  • Performance Studies: The document details performance studies using clinical urine samples and comparing results to a reference method (LC/MS/MS). This is typical for the validation of an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: A predicate device (K060466; Acon BUP One Step Buprenorphine Test) is listed, which is also an IVD for detecting buprenorphine in urine. This indicates the device is being compared to another device within the IVD category.

While it's intended for prescription use and not point-of-care, these are limitations on its use, not a change in its fundamental classification as an IVD.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The accuracy of the MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test was evaluated by assaying a panel of blind coded clinical urine samples containing varying concentrations of buprenorphine and its metabolites, and comparing the results with LC/MS/MS results. The samples were obtained from MEDTOX® Laboratories and are representative of intended population of clinical samples. Samples were screened with the CEDIA immunoassay system(Buprenorphine cutoff of 5ng/ml). Samples are stratified into the five following groups: (1) Negative samples were screened negative by CEDIA immunoassay system, 10% of which were confirmed negative by LC/MS/ (2) Near Cutoff Negative samples that fell between 50% of the cutoff concentration and the cutoff concentration; (3) Near Cutoff Positive samples that fell between the cutoff concentration and 150% of the cutoff concentration, and (4) High Positive samples that were greater than 150% of cutoff concentrations measured by LC/MS/MS included the testspecific analytes (buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine) found in the sample. The testing was performed by in-house operators according to the package insert. The results were interpreted visually at five (5) minutes. No false positives were observed in the absence of drug. The tests were read at both 5 minutes and 15 minutes and identical results were obtained.

The MEDTOX Buprenorphine 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. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any test result.

Discussion of Technological Characteristics:

Similarities and differences to predicate device

Both the MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test and the predicate test are used to detect the presence of buprenorphine and its metabolites in human urine. In both systems, a urine sample is added to the test device and allowed to react for a specified period of time, after which the test device is read and interpreted visually. Both the MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test and predicate test devices are rapid single micipiece viouslify: "Both the immunochromatographic lateral flow technology. Both the MEDTOX"

Buprenorphine Test and predicate test devices utilize gold-conjugated reagents to generate the reddishpurple test and control lines, which are read visually.

Sample is applied to the MEDTOX® Burpenorphine Test by tilting a urine cup containing urine, while sample is applied to the predicate test by dipping the specified end of the urine sample. The MEDTOX® Burpenorphine Test has a read time window of 5 to 15 minutes, while the predicate test read time window is 5 to 10 minutes.

Overall characteristics of the MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test and the predicate device are summarized in Table 1 below:

Analytical specificity (cross reactivity and interference) data are summarized below.

Related Compounds and Cross Reactants

The metabolites and reacting compounds shown in Table 3 below were evaluated on the MEDTOX® Buprenorphine Test for interference or cross reactivity with Buprenorphine. Reference standards for the various metabolites and compounds were prepared in negative urine samples. Results are expressed as the approximate minimum concentration required to produce a positive result in the indicated assay. Compounds that reacted with the test are listed first, and related compounds that did not react with the highest concentration tested are listed second as Negative at 100,000 ng/mL (or highest level tested). The "% Cross-Reactive" values were calculated from the cut-off level for the calibrator used for each test (approximate 50% positive rate) divided by the lowest reported level found to react in the same test (greater than 66% positive rate). Three different lots were tested and identical results were obtained. The non-reacting opiate compounds were also tested following the study of M.L. Smith, et. al. Drug free urine samples were spiked with buprenorphine to the targeted concentrations of 5 ng/mL (50% of the cutoff) and 15 ng/mL (150% of the cutoff). 100 ug/mL of the non-reactive opiate compounds were then added to the preparation and assayed by MEDTOX Buprenorphine Test. Samples were evaluated in triplicate by in-house operators. None of the non-reactive opiate listed in the following table affected the expected results.
