It is intended for prescription and for over-the-counter use.
Healgen Amphetamine Test, Healgen Cocaine Test and Healgen Methamphetamine Test are immunochromatographic assays for Amphetamine, Cocaine and Methamphetamine. Each assay test is a lateral flow system for the qualitative detection of Amphetamine, Benzoylecgonine and Methamphetamine (target analyte) in human urine. The products are in vitro diagnostic devices, which come in the form of: Strips, Cassettes, DipCards, or Cups. Each product contains a Test Device (in one of the four formats), and a package insert. Each test device is sealed with a desiccant in an aluminum pouch.
The document describes several tests conducted to prove the performance of the Healgen Amphetamine Test, Healgen Cocaine Test, and Healgen Methamphetamine Test devices.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not explicitly state formal "acceptance criteria" through a table or specific thresholds that define success. Instead, it presents performance characteristic studies (precision, cut-off verification, interference, specificity, and comparison to GC/MS) and a lay-user study.
Based on the presented data, the implicit acceptance criteria appear to be:
- Precision: Consistent results across different lots, operators, and concentration levels, especially for samples near the cut-off.
- Cut-off Verification: Accurate classification of samples at or near the specified cut-off concentrations for each drug.
- Interference: No false positive or false negative results due to common interfering substances in urine.
- Specificity: Low or no cross-reactivity with structurally similar but non-target compounds at expected physiological concentrations.
- Method Comparison (with GC/MS): High concordance with GC/MS results, especially for clearly negative and clearly positive samples, with reasonable performance around the cut-off.
- Lay-user usability: High percentage of correct results by lay users and clear instructions for use.
Here's a summary table of the reported device performance for key aspects:
| Performance Aspect | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit, based on study) | Reported Device Performance (Summary from tables) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Consistent classification (positive/negative) at various concentrations, particularly 100% agreement at -100% to -25% cut-off (negative) and +25% to +100% cut-off (positive). Variability allowed at cut-off. | Observed: For all three analytes (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Methamphetamine) across all formats (Strip, Cassette, Dip Card, Cup) and 3 lots: - 100% Negative results from -100% to -25% cut-off concentrations (e.g., 50-/0+ means 50 negative, 0 positive). - 100% Positive results from +25% to +100% cut-off concentrations (e.g., 50+/0- means 50 positive, 0 negative). - At Cut-off Concentration: Mixed results (e.g., Amphetamine Strip: Lot 1: 23-/27+, Lot 2: 26-/24+, Lot 3: 26-/24+). This variability at the cut-off is expected for qualitative tests. |
| Cut-off | Accurate detection at specified cut-off concentrations. | Observed: For Amphetamine (500 ng/mL), Cocaine (150 ng/mL), and Methamphetamine (500 ng/mL): - All samples at and above +25% cut-off were positive. - All samples at and below -25% cut-off were negative. The specified cut-off values were verified. |
| Interference | No interference (false positives or negatives) by common physiological substances or over-the-counter medications at specified concentrations (100 ug/mL). | Observed: Numerous listed compounds (e.g., Acetophenetidin, Acetylsalicylic Acid, Caffeine, Ibuprofen, etc.) showed no interference at 100 ug/mL for all three drug tests and formats when tested with drug-free and +25% cut-off spiked samples. |
| Specificity | Acceptable levels of cross-reactivity with structurally similar compounds. | Observed: Each drug test showed varying degrees of cross-reactivity with related substances. For example: - Amphetamine: D-Amphetamine (100%), D,L-Amphetamine (67%), L-Amphetamine (3%), Phentermine (77%). Very low cross-reactivity with d-Methamphetamine (<0.5%) - Cocaine: Benzoylecgonine (100%), Cocaethylene (6%), Cocaine (30%). - Methamphetamine: d-Methamphetamine (100%), MDA (50%), l-Methamphetamine (13%). Low cross-reactivity with d,l-Amphetamine (0.7%) and d-Amphetamine (1%). |
| Method Comparison (GC/MS) | High agreement (low discordance) with GC/MS results for samples well above and well below the cut-off, with some expected discordance near the cut-off. | Observed: For each drug and format (Strip, Cassette, Cup, Dip Card) from Viewer A, B, and C: - 100% agreement for negative samples (GC/MS Negative and Low Negative) and high positive samples (GC/MS High Positive). - Discordant results primarily occurred for samples with GC/MS concentrations near the cut-off (Between cut-off and +50% for false negatives; Between -50% and cut-off for false positives). For instance, for Amphetamine Strip, Viewer A had 1 false negative (GC/MS 531 ng/mL) out of 16 'Near Cutoff Positive' samples, indicating generally good but not perfect agreement at the critical threshold. These discordant results are explicitly listed. |
| Lay-user Study | High percentage of correct results for various concentrations by lay users, and clear, understandable instructions. | Observed: For all analytes and formats, lay users achieved: - 100% correct results for concentrations -100% to -50% cut-off and +50% to +75% cut-off. - 90-95% correct results for concentrations at -25% and +25% cut-off. - All lay users indicated the device instructions were easily followed. Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level was 7, indicating good readability. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Precision Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: For each drug (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Methamphetamine) and each device format (Strip, Cassette, Cup, Dip Card), there were 8 concentration levels tested. For each concentration, tests were performed 2 runs per day for 25 days by 3 different operators, for 3 different lots of devices. This means for one drug and one format: 8 concentrations * 50 results (2 runs/day * 25 days) * 3 lots = 1200 individual tests.
- Data Provenance: Samples were "negative samples" spiked with drugs to specific concentrations. The drug concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. The samples were "blind labeled and randomized" by a person not involved in testing. This indicates retrospective preparation of controlled samples, likely performed in a lab setting, not from actual patient samples from a specific country.
- Cut-off Verification Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: A total of 150 samples (equally distributed at -50%, -25%, cut-off, +25%, +50% cut-off) were tested. Given 5 concentration levels, this suggests 30 samples per concentration. These were tested using 3 different lots of each device by 3 different operators. So, 150 samples * 3 lots * 3 operators = 1350 individual tests per drug and format.
- Data Provenance: Samples were prepared by spiking drug in "negative samples." Concentrations confirmed by GC/MS. This indicates retrospective preparation of controlled samples.
- Interference Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a total number of samples, but "Potential interfering substances" were tested by adding them to drug-free urine and target drug urine (+25% cut-off samples). These were tested using three batches of each device for all formats.
- Data Provenance: Controlled laboratory-prepared urine samples with specified interfering substances and drug concentrations.
- Specificity Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a total number of samples, but drug metabolites and other components were tested using three batches of each device for all formats.
- Data Provenance: Controlled laboratory-prepared urine samples with specific drug metabolites or related compounds at various concentrations.
- Method Comparison Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: For each drug (Amphetamine, Cocaine, Methamphetamine) and each device format, 80 unaltered clinical samples were used (40 negative and 40 positive). These were tested independently by 3 different laboratory assistants (viewers). For one drug and one format: 80 samples * 3 viewers = 240 individual tests.
- Data Provenance: "unaltered clinical samples." The origin (e.g., country) is not specified. It is reasonable to assume these were retrospective clinical samples as they were "blind labeled."
- Lay-user Study (Test Set):
- Sample Size: 560 lay persons tested each of the Amphetamine, Cocaine, and Methamphetamine devices, resulting in a total of 1680 individuals who performed the study. Each participant received 1 blind labeled sample and a device.
- Data Provenance: Urine samples were prepared by spiking drugs into "drug free-pooled urine specimens" to specific concentrations. Concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS. These were retrospectively prepared controlled samples, not actual patient samples. The study participants were "diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ranged in age from 21 to > 50 years."
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Precision, Cut-off, Interference, Specificity, and Lay-user Studies: The ground truth for these studies was established by GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), which is a gold standard analytical method for drug concentration determination. The individuals performing the GC/MS analysis are typically trained analytical chemists or laboratory technicians, but their specific qualifications are not detailed in the document.
- Method Comparison Study: The ground truth for the 80 unaltered clinical samples was established by GC/MS. As above, specific qualifications of the GC/MS operators are not provided. The device results were then compared to these GC/MS ground truth results.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Precision, Cut-off, Interference, Specificity, and Lay-user Studies: No explicit adjudication method is mentioned for the ground truth. The ground truth was set by scientific preparation and GC/MS confirmation of samples. For the device results, multiple operators conducted the tests (3 operators for precision, cut-off; 3 batches for interference/specificity), but it's not stated that their results were adjudicated against each other; they are presented individually or as aggregate performance.
- Method Comparison Study: The document lists results for Viewer A, Viewer B, and Viewer C separately. There is no explicit mention of an adjudication method for comparing interpretations between these viewers or for resolving discordant results by the device itself. The device results from each viewer are directly compared to the GC/MS ground truth.
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
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. This document describes the performance of in-vitro diagnostic test kits (dipstick, cassette, cup formats) for qualitative drug detection by visual interpretation. These are standalone devices, not AI-assisted reading systems.
- Therefore, there is no effect size reported for human readers improving with AI vs. without AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Yes, in essence, the "Analytical Performance" section (Precision, Cut-off, Interference, Specificity) and elements of the "Method Comparison Studies" (comparison to GC/MS ground truth) represent standalone performance of the device itself (the immunochromatographic assay reaction and visual line formation), without explicit human 'interpretation' as the primary variable. The visual reading done by operators/viewers in the precision and method comparison studies still involves human interpretation of the color lines.
- However, the Lay-user study specifically evaluated human-in-the-loop performance (lay users interpreting the device according to instructions). Other sections primarily focus on the inherent analytical performance of the test strips/cassettes/cups.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The primary ground truth used throughout these studies is GC/MS (Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry), which is an objective chemical analytical method considered the gold standard for confirming drug concentrations in toxicology.
- For the lay user study, the ground truth was also established by GC/MS for the prepared spiked samples.
8. The sample size for the training set
- The document describes premarket notification studies for an in-vitro diagnostic device. It does not mention a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI models.
- The device is a laboratory assay; it does not involve algorithms that require training data. The "training" in this context would refer to the development and optimization of the chemical reagents and manufacturing process, which are not detailed as a "training set" in a data science sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- N/A, as there is no "training set" in the context of data for an AI/ML algorithm.

9. Test Principle
Healgen Amphetamine Test, Healgen Cocaine Test and Healgen Methamphetamine Test are rapid tests for the qualitative detection of Amphetamine, Benzoylecgonine and Methamphetamine in urine samples. Each assay test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay. During testing, a urine specimen migrates upward by capillary action. If target drugs are present in the urine specimen below its cut-off concentration, it will not saturate the binding sites of its specific antibody (monoclonal mouse antibody) coated on the particles. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized drug-conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The colored line will not form in the test line region if the target drug level exceeds its cut-off concentration because it will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody coated on the particles. A band should form in the control region of the devices regardless of the presence of drug or metabolite in the sample to indicate that the test has been performed properly.
10. Performance Characteristics

- Analytical Performance
- a. Precision
Precision studies were carried out for samples with concentrations of -100% cut-off, -50% cut-off, -25% cut-off, at the cut-off, +25% cut-off, +75% cut-off, +75% cut-off and +100% cut-off. These samples were prepared by spiking drug in negative samples. Each drug concentration was confirmed by GC/MS. All sample aliquots were blind labeled and randomized by the person who prepared samples and did not take part in the sample testing. For each concentration, tests were performed two runs per day for 25 days by three different operators for each format of devices. Different set of operators tested each format. The results obtained are summarized in the following tables:

Lay-user study
A lay user study was performed at three intended user sites with 560 lay persons testing each of the Amphetamine, the Cocaine and the Methamphetamine devices. Total of 1680 individuals performed the study. A total of 214 females and 346 males tested the Amples, 196 females and 364 males tested the Cocaine samples and 205 females and 355 males tested the Methamphetamine samples. They had diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ranged in age from 21 to > 50 years. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations; negative, +/-75%, +/-50%, +/-25% of the cutoff by spiking drugs into drug free-pooled urine specimens. The concentrations of the samples were confirmed by GC/MS. Each sample was aliquoted into individual containers and blind-labeled. Each participant was provided with the package insert, 1 blind labeled sample and a device. The results are summarized below.

§ 862.3100 Amphetamine test system.
(a)
Identification. An amphetamine test system is a device intended to measure amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in plasma and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of amphetamine to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An amphetamine 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).
