The device 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 assay used to determine the presence of tricyclic antidepressants, not for treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for the qualitative and/or semiquantitative determination of the presence of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in human serum, plasma, or urine of patients at a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL in patients suspected of drug overdose," and "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only." These statements indicate its use in diagnosing or aiding in the diagnosis of a patient's condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using ready-to-use liquid reagents (Reagent A and Reagent E) and involves spectrophotometric measurement at 340 nm, indicating it is a hardware-based in vitro diagnostic device, not software only.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Explicit Statement: The document explicitly states "For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only."
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the qualitative and/or semiquantitative determination of tricyclic antidepressants in human serum, plasma, or urine. This involves testing samples taken from the human body, but performed outside the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The device is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using reagents to analyze biological samples. This is a typical method for in vitro diagnostic tests.
- Performance Studies: The document details performance studies conducted on human serum, plasma, and urine samples, which is standard for validating an IVD.
- Predicate Device: The mention of a predicate device (K983268; Tricyclic Serum Tox EIA Assay) further indicates that this device is being compared to an existing IVD.
All these factors align with the definition and characteristics of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The DRI™ Tricyclics Serum Tox Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay intended for the qualitative and/or semiquantitative determination of the presence of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) in human serum, plasma, or urine of patients at a cutoff concentration of 300 ng/mL in patients suspected of drug overdose.
The semi-quantitative mode is for the purpose of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) or permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures.
The assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
Clinical and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only.

Device Description
The DRI™ Tricyclics Serum Tox Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using ready to-use liquid reagents. Specific tricyclic antibodies were used to detect most tricyclic antidepressants in serum, plasma, or urine. The test is based on the competition of an enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), labeled-drug and the drug from the sample for a fixed amount of specific antibody binding sites. In the absence of the drug from the sample, the specific antibody binds the enzyme-labeled drug and the enzyme activity is inhibited. This phenomenon creates a direct relationship between drug concentration in the sample and the enzyme activity. The enzyme activity is determined spectrophotometrically at 340 nm by measuring its ability to convert nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH.
The DRI™ Tricyclics Serum Tox assay is supplied as a two liquid reagent kit (Reagent A and Reagent E). Thev are bottled separately within the same kit, see details below:
- Antibody/Substrate Reagent (Reagent A): Contains polyclonal anti-tricyclics . antibodies (sheep), glucose-6- phosphate (G6P), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in Tris buffer with sodium azide as a preservative.
- Enzyme Conjugate Reagent (Reagent E): Contains glucose-6-phosphate ● dehydrogenase (G6PDH) labeled with nortriptyline in Tris buffer with sodium azide as a preservative.

F. Test Principle
The DRI™ Tricyclics Serum Tox Assay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay using ready-to use liquid reagents. The assay uses specific tricyclic antibodies, which can detect most tricyclic antidepressants in serum, plasma, or urine. The DRI technology is based on the competition of an enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) labeled-drug and the drug from the serum, plasma, or urine sample for a fixed amount of specific antibody binding sites. In the presence of free drug from the sample, the free drug occupies the antibody binding sites, allowing the drug-labeled G6PDH to interact with the substrate, resulting in enzyme activity. In the absence of drug from the sample, the specific antibody binds to the drug labeled with G6PDH and the enzyme activity is inhibited. This phenomenon creates a direct relationship between the drug concentration in the serum, plasma, or urine and the enzyme activity. The enzyme G6PDH activity is determined spectrophotometrically at 340 nm by measuring its ability to convert nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH.

The spike recovery study was performed using 20 replicates. Samples were prepared by spiking Nortriptyline in both drug-free serum and drug-free urine at 225 ng/mL, 300 ng/mL, 375 ng/mL. The study demonstrated the accuracy of spike recovery at low control (225 ng/mL) and high control (375 ng/mL) in both qualitative and semiquantitative mode. Serum and urine samples were run separately. The results of the study are presented in the table below.

c) Dilution Linearity
The Dilution Linearity study is performed using the CLSI guideline CLSI EP06-A.
To demonstrate the dilution linearity for purposes of sample dilution and quality control of the entire assay range, drug-free serum or drug-free urine were spiked using Nortriptyline and diluted with drug-free serum or drug-free urine, respectively to generate 9 levels between 0 and 1000 ng/mL. Each sample was run in replicates of 5 in semi-quantitative mode and the average was used to determine percent recovery compared to the expected target value. Serum and urine samples were run separately. The study results are presented in the table below.

Specific gravity for urine only:
The specific gravity of multiple negative urine samples from different donors were tested on available clinical chemistry analyzer to select ten (10) negative urine samples with specific gravity range from 1.004 to 1.030.
The selected negative urine samples with a specific gravity range from 1.004 to 1.030 were spiked at control levels of 225 ng/mL and 375ng/mL using intermediate drug stock at 10,000 ng/mL.
