Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Analytical Performance - Precision: 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 were prepared by spiking drug in negative urine 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.
Cut-off: A total of 150 samples equally distributed at concentrations of -50% cut-off; -25% cut-off; cut-off; +25% cut-off; +50% cut-off were tested using three different lots of each device by three different operators.
Interference: Potential interfering substances found in human urine of physiological or pathological conditions were added to drug-free urine and to urine containing target drugs at 25% below and 25% above cut-off levels. These urine samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats.
Specificity: Drug metabolites and other components that are likely to interfere in urine samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats. The obtained lowest detectable concentration was used to calculate the cross-reactivity.
Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and Urine pH: Urine samples with a range of 1.000 to 1.035 specific gravity or urine samples with a range of pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target drugs at 25% below and 25% above cut-off levels. These samples were tested using three lots of each device for all formats.
Comparison Studies: The method comparison studies for the First Sign® Drug of Abuse Buprenorphine Test was performed in-house. Operators ran 80 (40 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples. The samples were blind labeled and compared to GC/MS results.
Lay-user study: A lay user study was performed at three intended user sites with 280 lay persons testing the Buprenorphine devices. 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.

9. Test Principle
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.

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 urine 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:
