Intended Use
The Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the preliminary qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human head and body hair samples using a methamphetamine calibrator at 5 ng /10 mg hair cutoff for the purpose of identifying methamphetamine use. This product is intended exclusively for inhouse professional use only and is not for sale to anyone. The Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine in Hair provides only a preliminary analytical test result. To confirm a presumptive screen positive result, a more specific alternate chemical method such as LC/MS/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry) must be used. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to the interpretation of any drug-of-abuse test result.
Device Description
The test consists of two parts: a pre-analytical hair treatment procedure (to convert the solid matrix of hair to a measurable liquid matrix) and the screening assay, the Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine. The drug is recovered from the hair using a patented method (U.S. Patent #8,084,215).The screening portion of the test system consists of (1) microplate wells coated with multiple drugs including methamphetamine conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) (patent pending), polyclonal sheep anti-methamphetamine, rabbit anti-goat secondary antibody conjugated to HRP (horseradish peroxidase), substrate [3, 3', 5, 5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)], HCI to acidify the final reaction, and wash buffer for washing the plates. Absorbance in the wells is read with a microplate reader.

No
The description details a standard enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and LC/MS/MS confirmation process, which are traditional laboratory techniques. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics.

No.
This device is an immunoassay intended for the preliminary qualitative detection of methamphetamine in hair samples to identify methamphetamine use, not to treat a condition or disease.

Yes

The device is intended for the "preliminary qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human head and body hair samples... for the purpose of identifying methamphetamine use," which describes a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like microplate wells, antibodies, enzymes, substrates, and wash buffer, which are all hardware components of an immunoassay kit. While a microplate reader is mentioned for reading absorbance, the core of the device is a chemical assay, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "preliminary qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human head and body hair samples... for the purpose of identifying methamphetamine use." This is a diagnostic purpose, aiming to identify the presence of a substance in a biological sample to infer a condition (drug use).
  • Sample Type: It uses "human head and body hair samples," which are biological specimens.
  • Method: It employs an "enzyme immunoassay (EIA)," which is a common in vitro diagnostic technique.
  • Device Description: The description details the components and process of an assay performed on a biological sample outside of the body.
  • Performance Studies: The document includes performance studies like precision, agreement testing, and cross-reactivity, which are standard for evaluating the performance of IVD devices.

The fact that it's for "in-house professional use only" and provides a "preliminary analytical test result" that requires confirmation by another method (LC/MS/MS) does not negate its classification as an IVD. Many IVDs are intended for professional use and serve as screening tests requiring confirmation.

Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine in Hair

Psychemedics Methamphetamine and MDMA Assay, K011185

The Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine is an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the preliminary qualitative detection of methamphetamine in human head and body hair samples using a methamphetamine calibrator at 5 ng/10 mg hair cutoff for the purpose of identifying methamphetamine use. This product is intended exclusively for in-house professional use only and is not for sale to anyone.

The Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine in Hair provides only a preliminary analytical test result. To confirm a presumptive screen positive result, a more specific alternate chemical chromatography/mass LC/MS/MS (liquid method such as spectrometry/mass spectrometry) must be used. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to the interpretation of any drug-of-abuse test result.

The test consists of two parts: a pre-analytical hair treatment procedure (to convert the solid matrix of hair to a measurable liquid matrix) and the screening assay, the Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine. The drug is recovered from the hair using a patented method (U.S. Patent #8,084,215).The screening portion of the test system consists of (1) microplate wells coated with multiple drugs including methamphetamine conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) (patent pending), polyclonal sheep anti-methamphetamine, rabbit anti-goat secondary antibody conjugated to HRP (horseradish peroxidase), substrate [3, 3', 5, 5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)], HCI to acidify the final reaction, and wash buffer for washing the plates. Absorbance in the wells is read with a microplate reader.

Sample Collection:

A sample of hair should be cut as close as possible to the skin. The hair is placed in a V-shaped aluminum foil sample holder with the root end of the hair protruding beyond the slanted edge of the foil. The aluminum foil is crimped around the sample, securing the hair specimen firmly into place within the foil. The hair sample crimped within the foil is placed in a sample acquisition card envelope and the envelope is sealed with a tamper-evident seal. Hair specimens are kept at ambient temperature in a secure location until they are shipped without refrigeration to the laboratory.

Materials required:

Hair sample collection kit, Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine, Microplate washer and reader, LC/MS/MS for confirmation.

Agreement Testing

Five-hundred-thirty-six hair samples were assayed by the predicate device and by the Psychemedics Methamphetamine EIA. The discordance between EIA and RIA was the parent drug cutoff, the sample is interpreted as positive due to ingestion. The parent-drug cutoff value for methamphetamine, MDMA or MDEA is 5 ng/10 mg hair.

Cross-reactivity and Interference Studies

Five compounds, shown in the table below, showed cross-reactivity in the Methamphetamine EIA assay. Sixty-seven other compounds showed no cross-reactivity in the assay. One-hundred-twenty-eight compounds tested for interference at +/-50% of the cutoff showed no interference in the assay.

Stability of Calibrator and Control Solutions

The methamphetamine calibrator and control solutions are prepared in-house by the laboratory from certified standards. Stability of methamphetamine in methanol in the presence of other drugs of abuse was shown to exceed 1 year.

Recovery Study

Recovery of methamphetamine from hair of methamphetamine users was shown to be substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device.

Conclusion:

The Psychemedics Microplate EIA for Methamphetamine in Hair is substantially equivalent to the predicate device K011185, and the results are substantially equivalent to LC/MS/MS results.
