Intended Use
The Quest Diagnostics HairCheck-DT (Cocaine) test system utilizes an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative detection of cocaine in head hair samples through the measurement of cocaine and cocaine metabolites for concentrations at or above 300 pg/mg hair. This test system has not been evaluated for use with hair specimens from locations other than the head. It is an in vitro diagnostic device intended exclusively for in-house professional use and is not intended for sale to anyone. The HairCheck-DT (Cocaine) test system was evaluated in two distinct study populations; individuals known to be chronic drug abusers, and individuals proclaiming to be drug-free. The Quest Diagnostics HairCheck-DT (Cocaine) test system provides only a preliminary analytical test result. To confirm a presumptive screen positive result, a more specific alternate chemical method, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), must be used. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained.
Device Description
The Quest Diagnostics Hair Check-DT (Cocaine) test system utilizes an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative detection of cocaine in head hair samples through the measurement of cocaine and cocaine metabolites for concentrations at or above 300 pg/mg hair. This test system has not been evaluated for use with hair specimens from locations other than the head. It is an in vitro diagnostic device intended exclusively for in-house professional use and is not intended for sale to anyone. The ELISA Cocaine Kit is based on the competition for a limited number of antibody sites by unlabeled cocaine/cocaine metabolites and enzyme-labeled drug. The two will bind to the antibody in proportion to their concentration in solution. Once accessioned in the lab, the aluminum foil is opened and the specimen is cut at approxima 3.9 cm from the root end. This specimen is cut into smaller lengths and mixed to ens homogeneity. Ten milligrams of the specimen is weighed out and placed into a properly labeled test tube. The specimen is then washed with methanol, decanted, and then placed in hot methanol containing 0.5% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid for one hour forty-five minutes. The extracted methanol solution is then transferred to a new tube and evaporated under nitrogen. The tubes are reconstituted with phosphate buffer and assayed using the Cocaine ELISA Kit. This kit is a solid-phase microtiter plate immunoassay in which the microwells are coated with a high affinity capture antibody to cocaine. A hair sample extract is added to the well, followed by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme conjugate. During this initial phase, the enzyme conjugate competes with the analyte in the sample for binding sites on the antibody-coated microwells. A wash solution (Tween-20 in phosphate buffered saline solution) is then applied to remove any unbound materials such as excess conjugate and residual sample. Enzyme substrate solution containing 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is then added for the final color development process. The reaction is stopped with 1N sulfuric acid and the absorbance is read at 450 nm, with a reference wavelength of 620 nm, using a plate reader. Color intensity is inversely proportional to the amount of analyte present in the sample. Therefore, samples that contain drug or analyte will inhibit binding of the enzyme conjugate to the antibody, resulting in little substrate binding and less color development than in the negative calibrator. For the screening assay an absorbance less than or equal to the absorbance of the 300 pg cocaine/mg hair cutoff calibrator is indicative of the presence of cocaine/cocaine metabolites.

No
The device description and performance studies detail a standard ELISA immunoassay process for detecting cocaine in hair. There is no mention of algorithms, machine learning models, or AI-driven analysis of the results. The interpretation is based on a simple comparison of absorbance values to a cutoff calibrator.

No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic device used to detect cocaine in hair samples, not to treat a condition or disease.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "It is an in vitro diagnostic device intended exclusively for in-house professional use and is not intended for sale to anyone."

No

The device description clearly outlines a laboratory-based in vitro diagnostic test system that involves physical manipulation of hair samples, chemical extraction, and an ELISA assay using a microtiter plate and plate reader. This involves significant hardware components and laboratory procedures, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Explicit Statement: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states: "It is an in vitro diagnostic device intended exclusively for in-house professional use..."
  • Nature of the Test: The device performs a test on a biological specimen (hair) to detect the presence of a substance (cocaine and its metabolites) for diagnostic purposes (determining if cocaine is present). This aligns with the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • ELISA Method: The use of an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is a common technique used in IVD devices for detecting specific substances in biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Precision Studies/Cutoff Characterization
Precision/Reproducibility aliquots were tested in quintuplicate (i.e. 5-replicates) on each of ten (10) different days using the Quest Diagnostics Cocaine specific ELISA kit (Lot # EVAL1). The same nine (9) samples/levels were analyzed in replicates of five (5) over the course of ten (10) days, alternating the order of the levels on the microplates each day. Calibrator and control materials were analyzed in wells located prior to and after the specimens on the microplates each day of testing. The overall (between-run) precision (CV %) was less than 10% for all spiked (25%, 50%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200%) levels of analyte. The mean Ratio minus 2 SD of the 50% samples was greater than the mean Ratio plus 2 SD of the 100% sample on each day of analysis. The mean Ratio minus 2 SD of the 100% sample was greater than the mean Ratio plus 2 SD of the 150% sample on each day of analysis. There is no crossover ±50% of the cutoff. Sample size: 50 for each level (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, 200%).

Cross-Reactivity
Eleven (11) compounds, structurally related to cocaine and known cocaine metabolites, were tested for cross-reactivity. The cross-reactant solutions were prepared by adding the compounds to negative hair matrix. The concentrations listed produced a result approximately equal to the cutoff calibrator. Cross-reactivity for tested compounds ranged from

| Device
Background | Cocaine is one of the most potent of the naturally occurring central nervous system stimulants. The
compound is found in the leaves of Erythroxylon coca, a South American shrub, in amounts of up to
2% by weight. It was first isolated in pure form in 1855, and has been widely utilized in medicine
as a local anesthetic and increasingly by drug abusers for its stimulant properties. For anesthetic
uses, cocaine is administered topically as the hydrochloride in 1-4% solutions for ophthalmologic
procedures and in 10-20% solutions for the membranes of the nose and throat. When self-
administered, it is commonly taken as the hydrochloride by nasal insufflation or intravenous
injection or as the free base by smoking in doses of 10-120 mg.1 |
| | Cocaine is the primary analyte found in hair after cocaine ingestion, in spite of its very short half-life
in plasma. The major blood and urine metabolite, benzoylecgonine, whose concentration in plasma
far exceeds cocaine's, is present in hair at relatively lower concentrations. Additionally, the cocaine
metabolite cocaethylene (ethylbenzoylecgonine) may be found in hair. |

A sample of hair (approximately 120 strands) should be cut as close as possible to the scalp, preferably from the back of the crown (vertex). This kit has not been evaluated for other types of hair. The amount of hair collected in this manner is such that a 3.9 cm long sample should weigh approximately 100 – 120 mg. The hair is placed in the V-shaped aluminum foil, ensuring that the root ends are aligned with the pointed end of the foil. The aluminum foil is pinched tightly around the length of hair (DO NOT BEND IN HALF). The foil is placed in a sample acquisition card, root end left towards the arrow. The card is then sealed lengthwise with the box seal. The card is placed in the Toxicology Specimen Baqqie and sealed. Keep hair specimens at ambient temperature until they are shipped, without refrigeration, to the laboratory. No special handling is needed.

Unknown specimens are prepared by weighing out ten (10) milligrams of the hair that has been cut into a fine mince (0.2-0.5 cm) and placing it into a properly labeled test tube. Wash specimens: add 2 mL of methanol to each specimen and let stand for 5 minutes at room temperature. Swirl and discard the methanol with a disposable pipette. Take care not to aspirate any hair into the pipette. Extract specimens: Add 3 mL of acidified methanol (0.5% (v/v) Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in methanol) and place in heated water bath (62°C) for 1 hour 45 minutes. Remove the samples from the water bath and transfer them to a heated sonicator set at 55°C. Sonicate the samples for 15 minutes. Dry the specimens: Transfer the methanol solution to a new tube and evaporate until dry under nitrogen. Reconstitute dried specimens with 0.025 mL of acetonitrile and 0.3 mL of phosphate buffer and vortex.

Test Principle:

The ELISA Cocaine Kit is based on the competition for a limited number of antibody sites by unlabeled cocaine/cocaine metabolites and enzyme-labeled drug. The two will bind to the antibody in proportion to their concentration in solution.

Once accessioned in the lab the aluminum foil is opened and the specimen is cut at approximately 3.9 cm from the root end. This specimen is cut into smaller lengths and mixed to ensure homogeneity. Ten (10) milligrams of the specimen is weighed out and placed into a properly labeled test tube. The specimen is then washed with methanol, decanted, and then placed in hot methanol for two hours. The methanol is then transferred to a new tube and evaporated under nitrogen. The tubes are reconstituted with phosphate buffer and assayed using the ELISA Cocaine Kit. This kit is a solid-phase microtiter plate immunoassay in which the microwells are coated with a high affinity capture antibody to cocaine. A hair sample extract is added to the well, followed by the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme conjugate. During this initial phase, the enzyme conjugate competes with the analyte in the sample for binding sites on the antibody-coated microwells. A wash solution (Tween-20 in phosphate buffered saline solution) is then applied to remove any unbound materials such as excess conjugate and residual sample. Enzyme substrate solution containing 3,3', 5,5'tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is then added for the final color development process. The reaction is stopped with 1N sulfuric acid and the absorbance is read at 450 nm with a reference wavelength of

620 nm using a plate reader. Color intensity is inversely proportional to the amount of analyte present in the sample. Therefore, samples that contain drug or analyte will inhibit binding of the enzyme conjugate to the antibody, resulting in little substrate binding and less color development than in the negative calibrator. For the screening assay an absorbance less than or equal to the absorbance of the 300 pg cocaine/mg hair cut-off calibrator is indicative of the presence of cocaine/cocaine metabolites.

Precision Studies/Cutoff Characterization 4.1

Precision

Precision/Reproducibility aliquots were tested in quintuplicate (i.e. 5-replicates) on each of ten (10) different days using the Quest Diagnostics Cocaine specific ELISA kit (Lot # EVAL1). The same nine (9) samples/levels were analyzed in replicates of five (5) over the course of ten (10) days, alternating the order of the levels on the microplates each day. Calibrator and control materials were analyzed in wells located prior to and after the specimens on the microplates each day of testing.

Within-Run Precision

A summary of data for the 10 days of testing for between-run and within-run precision (reproducibility) is shown in the tables below.

The overall (between-run) precision (CV %) was less than 10% for all spiked (25%, 50%, 100%, 125%, 150%, 175%, and 200%) levels of analyte.

Evaluation of separation around the cutoff:

The Ratio was calculated (sample OD/cutoff OD) for each of the test samples. The mean Ratio and standard deviation (SD) of all pools were calculated for each day of analysis. The mean Ratio minus 2 SD of the 50% samples was greater than the mean Ratio plus 2 SD of the 100% sample on each day of analysis (Table 3, highlighted in blue). The mean Ratio minus 2 SD of the 100% sample was greater than the mean Ratio plus 2 SD of the 150% sample on each day of analysis (Table 3, highlighted in green).

4.2 Cross-Reactivity

Structurally Related Compounds

Cocaine, structurally-related compounds, pharmacologically-related compounds, and metabolites were tested for cross-reactivity in the assay. Eleven (11) compounds, structurally related to cocaine and known cocaine metabolites, were selected for the study (see table below for the list). The cross-reactant solutions were prepared by adding the compounds to negative hair matrix. The concentrations listed below produced a result approximately equal to the cutoff calibrator.

Serial dilutions of each compound were prepared and analyzed. If the OD response of the spiked sample was positive then the spiked sample was diluted further with finer dilutions until a positive result was obtained with an OD within 5% of the cutoff value (sample OD/Cutoff OD). Cross reactivity was calculated as: (Cutoff Concentration/Lowest Cross Reactant Concentration with a Positive Result) x 100.

(1) This specimen confirmed negative by GC-MS for cocaine and metabolites, yet screened strongly positive by the HairCheck-DT ELISA device. The hair specimen was dyed pink, likely using Manic Panic Semi-Permanent Cotton Candy Pink Hair Color, or similar hair care product. A deep pink color was encountered during the extraction and re-suspension process and the specimen was also robustly pink when pipetted onto the ELISA plates. Exposing the specimen to a black light resulted in intense pink fluorescence emission. The cited hair care product contains three cationic dyes, Basic Violet 16, Safranin O and Methylene Blue. All three dyes are fluorescent, emitting in the vicinity of 583-595 nm, the red region of the visible light spectrum. Further investigation into the effect of semi-permanent dyes on the assay has provided evidence that the binding of cocaine-HRP-conjugate to the antibody is disrupted by the presence of high concentrations of these dyes (relative to the concentration of cocaine) in sample extracts. This effect however, is not specific to the cocaine antibody since the offending hair specimen also produced false positive results in the HairCheck-DT (Opiates) ELISA and the HairCheck-DT (Methamphetamine) ELISA. Semi-permanent hair care products contain various cationic dyes that are readily extracted along with the cocaine during the pre-analytical sample preparation. The high concentration of extracted dyes, leads to positive interference through interaction with one or more steps of the fundamental immunoassay procedure.

(3) This specimen confirmed negative by GC-MS with a quantitative value of 190 pg cocaine/mg hair.

(4) This specimen confirmed negative by GC-MS with a quantitative value of 272 pg cocaine/mg hair, but also contained 80 pg/mg of benzoylecgonine.

Reproducibility Results

Conclusions

These results demonstrate the reproducibility of the specimen extraction and result for both the HairCheck-DT (Cocaine) ELISA as well as the GC-MS confirmatory method. Each replicate of each individual sample was positive for cocaine (100% agreement) by the HairCheck-DT (Cocaine) ELISA immunoassay and positive for cocaine by the GC-MS confirmation method. The within-run coefficient of variation for the GC-MS assay for cocaine was 6.7%. The within-run coefficients of variation for each of the five hair specimens by ELISA immunoassay (OD) was less than 10%, with an overall mean coefficient of variation of 3.9%.

Specimen Shipping Stability 4.6

In order to demonstrate the stability of cocaine in hair specimens during the shipping process, 56 hair samples- twenty eight (28) confirmed positive cocaine hair specimens, of which three specimens (3) have pre-shipping quantitative GC-MS results in the near cutoff positive concentration range (300 to 449 pg/mg Cocaine) and twenty eight (28) confirmed negative cocaine hair specimens, of which three (3) have pre-shipping quantitative GC-MS results in the near cutoff negative concentration range (150 to 299 pg/mg Cocaine) were shipped to eight different geographical locations and the temperatures tracked during shipping. By enclosing an electronic temperature sensor within each shipment of hair samples, we were able to retrieve a range of temperatures collected every 20 minutes during the shipping process. In order to mimic potential shipping extreme temperatures, the hair was first cold shocked at -15°C for 15 hours and then heat shocked at +47°C for 6 hours prior to shipping.

After the boxes were returned to facility, ELISA screening and GC-MS confirmation were performed on each sample and compared to the non-shipped results for the same samples. The cocaine negative samples that were shipped maintained their neqative status both for ELISA screening and GC-MS with respect to cocaine levels. One of the borderline negative samples originally screened positive prior to

shipping and all three of the borderline negative samples screened positive after shipping due to variability near the cutoff of the ELISA screening method. The cocaine positive samples that were shipped maintained their positive status for both the ELISA screening and the GC-MS confirmation with respect to cocaine levels.

Conclusions

This study agrees with published literature that hair specimens containing cocaine are stable to various shipping regimes. No changes in positive or negative status were produced upon shipment of the hair other than borderline specimens which could be expected due to variability near the cutoff of the ELISA screening assay. The hair samples were exposed to a range of temperatures that exceeded what would normally be encountered in a standard shipping process, with no changes in reportable status.

Cosmetic Hair Treatment Studies 4.7

This study is designed to assess the contribution of various common cosmetic hair treatments; shampooing, dyeing, bleaching, perming, and relaxing, on the detection of cocaine using the HairCheck DT Cocaine ELISA. This data is used by end-users (customers) to assess the degree to which various cosmetic hair treatments may interfere with Cocaine detection in their donor population.

This study involves the testing of a panel of sixty (60) confirmed positive cocaine hair samples and sixty (60) screened negative cocaine hair samples that are treated with one of five (5) cosmetic hair treatments or left untreated. Cocaine positive hair is defined as a hair sample confirmed by GC-MS as

Conclusions

The results of this study agree with the extensive published literature15-24 that the use of various cosmetic hair treatments can potentially reduce the amount of drug and drug metabolites detected in hair specimens. In this study, certain cosmetic treatments did lead to a substantial change in raw optical density values obtained in the ELISA, i.e. - relaxing and bleaching, due to loss of cocaine during the treatment. It is possible that a cosmetic hair treatment could cause a negative hair sample to read positive hair sample to read negative. Bleaching and relaxing had the most significant effect, decreasing the extent of positivity of positive specimens. None of the treatments tested significantly impacted the negative specimens.

Variance in how much drug and/or drug metabolites are incorporated into hair as a result of drug use is dependent upon the characteristics of the donor and hair specimen (e.g. age, texture, shape (thickness), density, melanin content, and segment of hair tested). Analogously, cosmetic treatments may also have a varying degree of effect on the drug concentration measured in hair specimens for the same reasons i.e., the effect of the treatment is impacted by the individual characteristics of each hair specimen (e.g. degree of penetration into the hair, effect on hair structure/matrix). The variability in the effect of cosmetic treatments can be seen in the Percent Change (ELISA OD) column of the tables above with bleaching, dyeing, and relaxing exhibiting the most variable effect on the optical density (i.e. the detected cocaine concentration or how positive the specimen was after treatment). The effect of each cosmetic treatment on negative specimens demonstrated minimal variability between specimens. Additionally, despite the hair specimens being minced and mixed in this study prior to assignment into the Treatment groups, differences in drug concentration between the hair segments, due to inconsistent drug use, cannot be discounted as a contributor to the variability observed between specimens.

Real Time Stability ELISA – this study was conducted monthly for ~7 months for Evaluation Lot 5, and out to ~8 months for Evaluation lots 4 and 6.

Cutoff calibrator and controls stability validation of cutoff calibrator / controls concentration(s) relative to target is performed every 3 months with 5 replicates via GC-MS. 3 lots of HairCheck Cocaine kits and 3 separate "batches" of cutoff calibrator and low and high controls have been evaluated to 13 months.

Open Vial - Stability was performed for all components including the cutoff calibrator and controls. The microplates were held at room temperature for 4 hours and then returned to 2-8°C and QC was performed 30 days later. For the cutoff calibrator and controls they are stored at -20°C so moved to 2-8°C for 4 hours then returned to -20°C and held for 30 days.

Conclusion

All 3 Stability Validation lots are stable up to ~7 and ~8 months beyond the Date of Manufacture. All 3 lots of calibrator and controls have been tested at the 13 month time point and passed required QC criteria +/-20% of target value. The accelerated stability equivalent for this product is 7.6 months. Real-time stability demonstrated for (3) lots - up to 7 months, establishing the shelf-life at 6 months.
