The description details a standard enzyme immunoassay based on chemical reactions and spectrophotometric measurement, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.
No
This device is an in vitro diagnostic test used for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of methadone in human urine. It provides analytical results but does not directly treat or diagnose a disease state in a patient.
Yes
The device is described as an "in vitro diagnostic test" intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of methadone in human urine, which directly aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.
No
The device is an in vitro diagnostic test kit comprised of liquid reagents, which are physical components, not software.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is an "in vitro diagnostic test intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of methadone in human urine." The term "in vitro diagnostic" is a direct indicator.
- Device Description: The description details a laboratory test that analyzes a biological sample (human urine) using chemical reagents to detect a substance (methadone). This is the core function of an IVD.
- Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies conducted to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the test in a laboratory setting, which is typical for IVD devices.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a "Predicate Device(s)" with a K number (K023317) and name ("Methadone Enzyme Immunoassay") indicates that this device is being compared to a previously cleared IVD device, further confirming its classification.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of methadone in human urine. The cutoff for both the qualitative and semi-quantitative modes of the assay is 300 ng/mL for methadone. The assay is designed for prescription use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers.
The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of (1) enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as gas or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) or (2) permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures.
The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative analytical chemistry method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive.

Device Description
The LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with ready-to-use liquid reagents. The assay is based on competition between methadone in the sample and methadone labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the methadone concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of methadone in the sample, methadone-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. On the other hand, when free methadone is present in the sample, antibody would bind to free methadone; the unbound methadone-labeled G6PDH then exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH, resulting in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm.
The LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay is a kit comprised of two reagents, an R1 and R2 which are bottled separately but sold together within the kit.
The Ri solution contains mouse monoclonal anti-methadone antibody, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), stabilizers, and sodium azide (0.09 %) as a preservative. The R2 solution contains glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) labeled with methadone in buffer with sodium azide (0.09 %) as a preservative.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Precision: The assay was tested in qualitative and semi-quantitative modes using a modified NCCLS-EP5 protocol. Methadone sample concentrations were prepared by spiking a methadone standard into a pool of negative human urine at concentrations ±25%, ±50%, ±75%, and ±100% of cutoff concentration. Results were obtained by testing all samples in replicate of two, two runs a day for 22 days on one AU680 automatic clinical analyzer for a total of 88 runs. One single lot of reagents, calibrators, and controls were used.
Qualitative Results:
At 0, 75, 150, 225 ng/mL methadone concentration, all 88 samples were negative.
At 300 ng/mL, 66 samples were negative and 22 were positive out of 88 total.
At 375, 450, 525, 600 ng/mL methadone concentration, all 88 samples were positive.
Linearity: To demonstrate linearity of the entire assay range, a drug free-urine pool spiked with methadone at 1000 ng/mL was serially diluted. Each sample was run in 10 replicates and the average was used to determine percent recovery compared to the expected target value. Recovery values (Expected Value divided by the Observed Value) were considered acceptable between 85 - 115%. Samples from the linear range of the assay (100 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL) were tested with recovery ranging from 93.7% to 104.9%.
Method Comparison - Clinical Samples: A total of ninety-four (94) unaltered clinical samples were tested with the LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay on the Beckman Coulter® AU680 automated clinical analyzer. All samples were tested in singlet. All samples were confirmed with LC/MS for both methadone and methadone metabolite concentrations. Samples were collected by Lin-Zhi International, Inc. (LZI) and from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
Semi-Quantitative Accuracy Study:
Agreement for positive results: 97.8% (45 positive out of 46 samples with LC/MS values > cutoff). One discrepant sample (Sample #48) with LC/MS 274 ng/mL (negative) was positive by EIA.
Agreement for negative results: 97.9% (47 negative out of 48 samples with LC/MS values

The LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay is identical or similar to its predicate in terms of intended use, method principle, device components, and clinical performance.
Device Description
The LZI Methadone II Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with ready-to-use liquid reagents. The assay is based on competition between methadone in the sample and methadone labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the methadone concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity.

On the other hand, when free methadone is present in the sample, antibody would bind to free methadone; the unbound methadone-labeled G6PDH then exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH, resulting in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm.

Linearity
To demonstrate linearity of the entire assay range, a drug free-urine pool spiked with methadone at 1000 ng/mL was serially diluted. Each sample was run in 10 replicates and the average was used to determine percent recovery compared to the expected target value.
Observed values were obtained and acceptable if measurements were ±15% of the expected values. Recovery values (Expected Value divided by the Observed Value) were considered acceptable between 85 - 115%.

Cross-reactivity
The Cross-reactivity of various potentially interfering drugs were tested by spiking various concentrations of each substance into a pool of negative human urine and then evaluated against the assay's calibration curve in both qualitative and semi-quantitative modes. All samples were tested in replicates.
The table below lists the concentration of each test compound that gave a response approximately equivalent to that of the cutoff calibrator (as positive) or the maximal concentration of the compound tested that gave a response below the response of the cutoff calibrator (as negative). Compounds tested at high concentration with results below the cutoff value were listed as Not Detected (ND).
