MethadoneMTDMethadone300 ng/mL
OpiatesOPI/MORMorphine2000 ng/mL
OxycodoneOXYOxycodone100 ng/mL

The Chemtrue® Single/Multi-Panel Drug Screen Cassette and Dip Card Tests are intended for the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse for in vitro diagnostic and prescription use ONLY. They are not intended for point-of-care settings or over the counter use. These assays provide only a preliminary result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed assay result. Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods.

Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drugs of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.

Device Description

The Drugs of Abuse (DOA) Screen Panels are one-step lateral flow immunoassays in which chemically modified drugs (drug-protein conjugates) compete for limited antibody binding sites with drugs that may be present in urine. The test device consists of up to six test strips placed into separate panels of a plastic holder. On each test strip, a drug-protein conjugate is striped on the test band of the membrane - known as the test region (T) and the anti-drug antibody-colloidal gold conjugate pads are placed at the forward end of the membrane.

AI/ML Overview

The Chemtrue® Single/Multi-Panel Drug Screen Tests are qualitative immunoassays designed to detect up to six drugs of abuse in human urine. The acceptance criteria for this device are defined by its performance in detecting specific drugs at or above their established cutoff concentrations, as compared to a reference method (GC/MS).

Here's a breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implied by the "Overall Agreement" percentages with the GC/MS reference method. While explicit pass/fail thresholds are not stated here, the reported high agreement percentages indicate that the device meets an acceptable level of performance for clinical utility.

TestAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Dip Card)Reported Device Performance (Cassette)
BZOHigh agreement with GC/MS98.5%98.5%
BARHigh agreement with GC/MS98.4%98.4%
MDMAHigh agreement with GC/MS98%98%
MTDHigh agreement with GC/MS99%99%
OPI(MOR)2000High agreement with GC/MS100%100%
OXYHigh agreement with GC/MS99.1%99.1%

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The studies used clinical specimens for the test set.

  • BZO: 203 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)
  • BAR: 190 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)
  • MDMA: 101 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)
  • MTD: 104 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)
  • OPI(MOR)2000: 106 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)
  • OXY: 106 samples (Dip Card and Cassette)

The data provenance is from clinical specimens, implying a retrospective study design where samples were collected and then tested. The document does not specify the country of origin.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not provided in the document. The ground truth was established by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS), which is an analytical chemical method, not human expert consensus.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the ground truth was established by an objective chemical method (GC/MS), not human adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

This is not applicable. The device is an immunoassay for drug screening, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers. Therefore, an MRMC study and analysis of human reader improvement with AI assistance are outside the scope of this device.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, the performance study (method comparison) represents a standalone evaluation of the device. The Chemtrue® cassettes and dip cards were compared directly against the GC/MS reference method, acting as an "algorithm only" in the sense that its output (positive/negative) was assessed independently of human interpretation influence beyond reading the test lines.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used was analytical/objective data from Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The document states: "Samples with drug concentration above the cut-off level were considered presumptive positive and concentration below the cut-off were considered negative." and "The product performance characteristics of were evaluated with the GC/MS confirmed values in a blind-labeled clinical specimen correlation study."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document does not provide information regarding a distinct training set. The device is a lateral flow immunoassay, a chemical sensing technology, and not typically developed using machine learning models that require explicit training sets in this context.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As no training set is described for this type of device, this information is not applicable. The device's performance characteristics (such as antibody specificity and cutoff concentrations) are established during the assay development and manufacturing process, not through a 'training set' in the machine learning sense.

Intended Use

The Chemtrue® test device is intended for the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse, for in vitro diagnostic use and for prescription use ONLY.

The test provides only a preliminary result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed assay result. Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods.

Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drugs of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.

Technological Characteristics and Scientific Principles

The Drugs of Abuse (DOA) Screen Panels are one-step lateral flow immunoassays in which chemically modified drugs (drug-protein conjugates) compete for limited antibody binding sites with drugs that may be present in urine. The test device consists of up to six test strips placed into separate panels of a plastic holder. On each test strip, a drug-protein

{2}------------------------------------------------

conjugate is striped on the test band of the membrane - known as the test region (T) and the anti-drug antibody-colloidal gold conjugate pads are placed at the forward end of the membrane. In the absence of drugs in the urine, the solution of the colored antibodycolloidal gold conjugates moves along with the sample solution by capillary action across the membrane to the immobilized drug-protein conjugate zone on the test band region. The colored antibody-gold conjugates then complexes with the drug-protein conjugates to form visible lines. Therefore, the formation of the visible precipitant in the test band occurs when the test urine is negative for the drug. If any of the subject drugs of abuse is present in the urine, the drug/metabolite antigen competes with drug-protein conjugates on the test band region for the limited antibody on the colored drug antibody-colloidal gold conjugate pad. When a sufficient amount of drug is present in the urine, the drug will saturate the limited antibody binding sites and the colored antibody -colloidal gold conjugate cannot bind to the drug-protein conjugate at the test region of the test strip. Therefore, absence of the color band on the test region indicates a preliminary positive result.

A control band with a different antigen/antibody reaction is added to the membrane strip at the control region (C) to indicate that the test has performed properly. This control line is manufactured as a built-in internal control of the test device and should always appear regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite. If the control line does not appear the test should be discarded. The presence of this colored band in the control region also serves: 1) as verification that adequate specimen volume is added, or no flow, due to insufficient urine volume, 2) to indicate that the test device is properly functioning, and 3) as an internal quality control of the system.

Summary of Device Similarities and Differences

Chemtron Biotech, Inc.'s Chemtrue Single/Multi-Panel Drug Screen Cassette and Dip Card tests are similar to other FDA-cleared devices for the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse: Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, Ecstasy (MDMA), Opiates (Morphine) 2000, Methadone and Oxycodone test from other manufacturers such as ACON (Alere), Alfa Scientific Designs, Inc. All of these products are based on the same technological characteristics, scientific principle and similar procedures. The similarities and differences among these tests are summarized as follows:

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION:

Based on the technological characteristics/assay principle, features of the device designs, test specimen matrix, test method and performance characterizations, as the set forth above, it can be concluded that Chemtrue® Single/ Multi-Panel Drug Screen tests are substantially equivalent to the predicate kit ACON's (INNOVACON/Alere) One Step Single and Multi Drug Screen test card product which is currently distributed commercially.

The Chemtrue® Drug Screen Tests do not require pre-treatment for urine specimen, thereby making it much simpler and convenient for the intended user. With regarding to the difference of Time to read result, since the device labeling clearly indicates the required "Read Time", it does not impact the result interpretation by the intended user.

Performance Data:

Chemtron Biotech, Inc. has reviewed the requirements of Section 514 of the Act, which states that to date no performance standards has been established for drug screen test systems by the FDA.

However, the studies listed in the notification are conducted according to "The Draft Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff' - " Premarket Submission and Labeling Recommendations for Drugs of Abuse Screening Tests, issued on: December 2, 2003", including the design of draft labeling and package inserts.

Chemtrue® Single / Multi-Panel Drug Screen Cassette and Dip Card tests are one-step, lateral flow, colloidal gold based immunoassays for the rapid, qualitative detection of Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates, Ecstasy (MDMA), Opiates (Morphine) 2000, Methadone and Oxycodone in human urine. They are intended for Professional Use and Prescription Use ONLY.

For BAR or BZO test, it may vield preliminary positive results when BAR or BZO is ingested at or above therapeutic doses. There are no uniformly recognized drug levels for barbiturate and benzodiazepine in urine. The Chemtrue® Single / Multi-Pane drugs of abuse urine test device shows the drug was or was not present at the cutoff level.

The assay provides a preliminary test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed assay result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory result. Clinical and professional judgment must be applied to any drugs of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained.
