Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Analytical Performance
- 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.
- Linearity: Not applicable.
- Stability: The devices are stable at 860F (4-30°C) for 24 months based on the accelerated stability study at 50°C.
- Cut-off: A total of 150 samples equally distributed at concentrations of -50% cut-off; cutoff; +25% cut-off; +50% cut-off of each target drug were tested using three different lots of each device by three different operators. Results were all positive at and above +25% cut-off and all negative at and below -25% cut-off for the four target drugs.
- Interference: Potential interfering substances found in human urine of physiological 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. No differences observed for different 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. No differences observed for different formats.
- 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. Results were all positive for samples at and above +25% Cut-Off and all negative for samples at and below -25% Cut-Off. No differences observed for different formats.
- Comparison Studies: The method comparison studies were performed in-house with three different laboratory assistants for each format of the device. Operators ran 80 (40 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples for each target drug. 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 320 lay persons testing the devices. They had diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ranged in age from 21 to > 50 years. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations; +/-100%, +/-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 under "Comparison between GC/MS and Lay Person Results".

§ 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).

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
8
conjugate and a visible colored line will show up in the test line region. The 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.
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 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.

b. Linearity
Not applicable.
c. Stability
The devices are stable at 860F (4-30°C) for 24 months based on the accelerated stability study at 50°C. Control materials are not provided with the device. The labeling provides information on how to obtain control materials.
- d. Cut-off
A total of 150 samples equally distributed at concentrations of -50% cut-off; cutoff; +25% cut-off; +50% cut-off of each target drug were tested using three different lots of each device by three different operators. Results were all positive at and above +25% cut-off and all negative at and below -25% cut-off for the four target drugs. The following cut-off values for the test devices have been verified.

Target Drug | Calibrator | Cut-off (ng/mL) |
---|---|---|
Amphetamine | d-Amphetamine | 500 |
Cocaine | Benzoylecgonine | 150 |
Methamphetamine | d-Methamphetamine | 500 |
Marijuana | Marijuana | 20 |
- e. Interference
Potential interfering substances found in human urine of physiological 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.
Compounds that showed no interference at a concentration of 100µg/mL (except of specified) are summarized in the following table. There were no differences observed for different formats.

- f. Specificity
To test the 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. There were no differences observed for different formats.
Amphetamine | Result | %Cross-Reactivity |
---|---|---|
(D-Amphetamine, Cutoff = 500 ng/mL) | Positive at 500 ng/mL | 100% |
L-Amphetamine | Positive at 60000 ng/mL | 0.8% |
D,L - Amphetamine | Positive at 1000 ng/mL | 50% |

Tyramine | Positive at 5000 ng/mL | 10% |
Tryptamine | Positive at 100000 ng/mL | 0.5% |
Hydroxyamphetamine | Positive at 600 ng/mL | 83% |
D-Pseudoephedrine | Negative at ≥ 105 ng/mL | 50 years. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations; +/-100%, +/-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. |
