The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the FaStep™ Fentanyl Rapid Test Device (Urine), an in vitro diagnostic device. It details the device's technical specifications and performance characteristics through analytical and lay-user studies. It does not describe a clinical study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance (MRMC study), nor does it involve the use of AI. Therefore, the information typically associated with acceptance criteria and studies for AI-powered devices, such as specific performance metrics like AUC, sensitivity, specificity for diagnostic accuracy in a clinical setting, or expert consensus and adjudication methods for ground truth, is not directly applicable or present in this document.
However, I can extract the relevant information from the document regarding the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria, adapting to the context of a rapid diagnostic test.
Here’s the breakdown based on the provided text, focusing on the analytical and lay-user performance of the rapid immunoassay:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Adapted for a Rapid Diagnostic Test)
The primary performance evaluation in this document centers around the device's ability to accurately detect fentanyl in urine at a specific cut-off concentration (1.0 ng/mL) under various conditions. The "acceptance criteria" are implied by the desired accuracy rates at and around this cut-off, as demonstrated in the precision and lay-user studies.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria (Implied) and Reported Device Performance:
| Study/Parameter | Implied Acceptance Criteria (e.g., High Agreement, Low False Results) | Reported Device Performance (from Precision Study) - Example Lot 1 | Reported Device Performance (from Lay-User Study) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precision (Analytical Performance) | Minimal false positives/negatives at concentrations far from cutoff; Balanced detection around cutoff. | ||
| -100% cut off (0 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Negative | 60-/0+ (100% Negative) | 100% Correct (Negative) |
| -75% cut off (0.25 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Negative | 60-/0+ (100% Negative) | 100% Correct (Negative) |
| -50% cut off (0.5 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Negative | 60-/0+ (100% Negative) | 100% Correct (Negative) |
| -25% cut off (0.75 ng/mL) | Ideal: Predominantly Negative, some positive acceptable around cutoff | 58-/2+ (96.7% Negative; 3.3% False Positive) | 95% Correct (Predominantly Negative, 1 false positive out of 20) |
| Cut off (1.0 ng/mL) | Ideal: Mix of Positive/Negative, indicating performance at threshold | 35+/25- (58.3% Positive; 41.7% False Negative) | N/A (not directly presented for lay-user study as a 'cutoff' row) |
| +25% cut off (1.25 ng/mL) | Ideal: Predominantly Positive, some negative acceptable around cutoff | 60+/0- (100% Positive) | 100% Correct (Positive) |
| +50% cut off (1.5 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Positive | 60+/0- (100% Positive) | 100% Correct (Positive) |
| +75% cut off (1.75 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Positive | 60+/0- (100% Positive) | 100% Correct (Positive) |
| +100% cut off (2.0 ng/mL) | Ideal: 100% Positive | 60+/0- (100% Positive) | N/A (not directly presented for lay-user study) |
| Interference | No interference from common substances at specified concentrations. | "Compounds that showed no interference at a concentration of 100µg/mL or specified concentrations are summarized..." (List provided, indicating no interference). | Not applicable. |
| Specificity | Minimal cross-reactivity with structurally similar compounds; no cross-reactivity with unrelated opioids. | Minimum concentrations causing positive results for related compounds vary; "Negative results were obtained for all these compounds [unrelated opioids]. There is no cross-reactivity..." | Not applicable. |
| Stability | Device remains stable over stated shelf life. | "The devices are stable at 36-86F for 24 months based on the real-time stability study." | Not applicable. |
| Lay-User Instructions | Instructions are easy to understand and follow for lay users. | Flesch-Kincaid reading grade level < 7. | All lay users indicated instructions were easily followed. |
2. Sample Sizes and Data Provenance:
- Test Set (Precision Study): For each concentration level, 60 tests were performed (2 tests/day for 10 days per device lot, across 3 lots). Thus, for each concentration, 180 total tests (60x3) were conducted across the three lots combined. The document mentions urine samples were "prepared by spiking fentanyl in negative samples." This suggests a controlled laboratory setting.
- Test Set (Lay-User Study): 140 lay persons participated, each testing one blind-labeled sample. A total of 140 samples were tested (20 per concentration level for 7 levels).
- Test Set (Method Comparison Study): 82 unaltered clinical samples (42 negative and 40 positive) were used.
- Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the samples or if they were retrospective or prospective patient samples. However, the use of "spiked" samples and "unaltered clinical samples" suggests a mix, likely from a laboratory and potentially local clinical collection. The "Method Comparison Study" description implies retrospective use of clinical samples ("unaltered clinical samples").
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth:
- For Precision, Interference, Specificity Studies: The ground truth for these analytical studies was established by preparing samples with known concentrations of fentanyl or interfering substances, verified by LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry). This is a highly accurate and accepted laboratory method for quantification, rather than relying on human experts for reading.
- For Method Comparison Study: Ground truth was established by LC/MS results.
- For Lay-User Study: Ground truth for the spiked samples was established by LC/MS.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- For the analytical studies (precision, interference, specificity), the ground truth was concentrations confirmed by LC/MS, so an 'adjudication' in the human-reader sense is not applicable. The device's result (positive/negative) was compared directly to the LC/MS confirmed concentration.
- For the method comparison study, the results of the FaStep device were compared against LC/MS results. The "Discordant Results" table shows where the device result did not match the LC/MS result, demonstrating the instances where reconciliation (if any) might happen in a real-world scenario, but no formal adjudication process between human readers is described for this specific device.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was NOT done. This document describes the performance of a rapid diagnostic test (an immunoassay), not an AI algorithm assisting human readers in interpreting medical images or data. Therefore, the concept of human readers improving with AI assistance is not applicable here.
6. Standalone Performance:
- Yes, a standalone performance study was done. The entire analytical performance section (Precision, Interference, Specificity, Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and pH) and the lay-user study demonstrate the performance of the device itself without human intervention in terms of interpretation beyond visual reading of the test line. The device autonomously produces a "positive" or "negative" line.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The primary ground truth used for performance validation was LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) confirmed concentrations. This is a highly accurate chemical analytical method considered the gold standard for drug detection and quantification in biological samples.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable in the context of an immunoassay device. This device is a chemical immunoassay, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set" to learn. The device's components and design are established during manufacturing, not through machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not applicable. As explained above, this device does not utilize a training set in the AI/machine learning sense.

Table 1: Features Comparison of FaStep™ Fentanyl Test and the Predicate Device
-
- Test Principle
The FaStepTM Fentanyl Tests are immunoassays based on the principle of competitive binding. During testing, a urine specimen migrates upward by capillary action. Fentanyl, if present in the urine specimen below 1 ng/mL, will not saturate the binding sites of antibody-coated particles in the test device. The antibody-coated particles will then be captured by immobilized fentanyl 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 fentanyl level exceeds 1 ng/mL because it will saturate all the binding sites of anti-fentanyl antibodies.
- Test Principle
To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear at the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
10. Performance Characteristics
-
- Analytical Performance
- a. Precision
Precision studies were carried out for samples with concentrations of -100% cut off, -75% cut off, -50% cut off, -25% cut off, cut off, +25% cut off, +50% cut off, +75% cut off and +100% cut off. These samples were prepared by spiking fentanyl in negative samples. Each fentanyl concentration was confirmed by LC/MS. All sample aliquots were blindly labeled by the person who prepared the samples and didn't take part in the sample testing. For each concentration, tests were performed two tests per day for 10 days per device lot in a randomized order.

f. Effect of Urine Specific Gravity and Urine pH
To investigate the effect of urine specific gravity and urine pH, urine samples, with 1.000 to 1.035 specific gravity or urine samples with pH 4 to 9 were spiked with target fentanyl at 50% below and 50% above Cut-Off levels. These samples were tested using three lots of device. Results were all positive for samples at and above +50% Cut-Off and all negative for samples at and below -50% Cut-Off.
2. Comparison Studies
Method comparison studies for the FaStep™ Fentanyl Test were performed using three different lots of the device. Operators ran 82 (42 negative and 40 positive) unaltered clinical samples. The samples were blind labeled and compared to LC/MS results are presented in the tables below.

3. Lay-user study
A lay user study was performed at three testing sites with 140 lay persons. They had diverse educational and professional backgrounds and ranged in age from 20 to >50 years. Urine samples were prepared at the following concentrations; -100%, +/-75%, +/-50%, +/-25% of the cut-off by spiking fentanyl into drug free-pooled urine specimens. The concentrations of the samples were confirmed by LC/MS. Each sample was aliquoted into individual containers, blind-labeled and randomized. Each participant was provided with the package insert, 1 blind labeled sample and a device. The results are summarized below:
| % of Cutoff | Numberofsamples | Fentanyl Concentrationby LC/MS(ng/mL) | Lay person results | Thepercentage ofcorrect results(%) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. ofPositive | No. ofNegative | ||||
| -100% Cutoff | 20 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 100 |
| -75% Cutoff | 20 | 0.28 | 0 | 20 | 100 |
| -50% Cutoff | 20 | 0.51 | 0 | 20 | 100 |
| -25% Cutoff | 20 | 0.73 | 1 | 19 | 95 |
| +25% Cutoff | 20 | 1.23 | 20 | 0 | 100 |
| +50% Cutoff | 20 | 1.48 | 20 | 0 | 100 |
| +75% Cutoff | 20 | 1.75 | 20 | 0 | 100 |
Lay-users were also given surveys on the ease of understanding the package insert instructions. All lay users indicated that the device instructions can be easily followed. A Flesch-Kincaid reading analysis was performed on the package insert and the score revealed a reading grade level of less than 7.
4. Clinical Studies
Not applicable.
11. Conclusion
Based on the test principle and acceptable performance characteristics including precision, cut-off, interference, specificity, method comparison and Lay-user studies of the devices, it's concluded a substantial equivalence decision.
§ 862.3650 Opiate test system.
(a)
Identification. An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).
