Intended Use
The LZI Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative determination of fentanyl in human urine at the cutoff value of 1 ng/mL when calibrated against fentanyl. The assay is designed for prescription use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method (e.g., gas or liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. 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 Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with ready-to-use liquid reagents. The assay is based on competition between the drug in the sample and the drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. The drug-labeled G6PDH conjugate is traceable to a commercially available fentanyl standard and referred to as fentanyl-labeled G6PDH conjugate. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the drug concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of a drug in the sample, fentanyl-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to the antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. On the other hand, when the free drug is present in the sample, the antibody would bind to the free drug; the unbound fentanyl-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 Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is a kit comprised of two reagents, R1 and R2, which are bottled separately but sold together within the kit. The R1 solution contains mouse monoclonal anti-fentanyl 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 fentanyl in buffer with sodium azide (0.09%) as a preservative.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A total of one hundred and fifty (150) unaltered clinical samples were tested with the LZI Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay on the Beckman Coulter AU5800 automated clinical analyzer. Samples were evaluated against the cutoff calibrator in qualitative mode. All samples were tested in singlet. All samples were confirmed by LC/MS for fentanyl concentrations. Samples were obtained by LZI and through collaboration with various clinical laboratories across the United States and Canada.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Precision: Tested in qualitative (ΔOD, mAU) mode using a modified NCCLS-EP5 protocol. Samples were prepared by spiking fentanyl standard into negative human urine at cutoff and ±25%, ±50%, ±75%, and ±100% of the cutoff concentration. Samples were tested in replicates of two, two runs a day for 22 days on one Beckman Coulter AU5800 automated clinical analyzer for a total of 88 replicates.
At 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 ng/mL (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% of cutoff), all 88 determinations were negative.
At 1 ng/mL (100% of cutoff), 4 negative and 84 positive results were observed across 88 determinations.
At 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2 ng/mL (125%, 150%, 175%, 200% of cutoff), all 88 determinations were positive.

Method Comparison - Clinical Samples: 150 unaltered clinical samples were tested with the LZI Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay on the Beckman Coulter AU5800 automated clinical analyzer. Samples were evaluated against the cutoff calibrator in qualitative mode and confirmed by LC/MS for fentanyl concentrations.
Qualitative Accuracy Study (1 ng/mL Cutoff):
LC/MS Negative (0 ng/mL fentanyl): 35 EIA negative results.
50% above cutoff, > 1.5 ng/mL fentanyl): 61 EIA positive results.
Discrepant samples (samples that were LC/MS negative but EIA positive) were analyzed for norfentanyl concentration, and all were found to contain norfentanyl contributing to the positive results.

Cross-reactivity: Various potentially interfering drugs were spiked into negative human urine and evaluated.
Fentanyl and Metabolites: Fentanyl (1.0 ng/mL) showed 100.00% cross-reactivity. Norfentanyl (2.5 ng/mL) showed 40.00% cross-reactivity.
Structurally Related Compounds: Compounds like 4-Fluoro-isobutyryl fentanyl (25 ng/mL, 4.00%), Acetyl fentanyl (4 ng/mL, 25.00%), Acryl fentanyl (1 ng/mL, 100.00%), Butyryl fentanyl (1 ng/mL, 100.00%), and others exhibited varying degrees of cross-reactivity. Many compounds tested at high concentrations (e.g., Alfentanil, Carfentanil oxalate) were not detected (ND).
Structurally Unrelated Pharmacological Compounds: Most compounds (e.g., Acetaminophen, Alprazolam, Caffeine, Codeine) tested at 100,000 ng/mL did not cause false positive results (Neg) at 0 ng/mL Fentanyl and 0.5 ng/mL Fentanyl (50% below cutoff), and were positive (Pos) at 1.5 ng/mL Fentanyl (50% above cutoff). Dextromethorphan (20,000 ng/mL) showed a positive result at -50% Fentanyl Cutoff (0.5 ng/mL) concentration. Further testing showed Dextromethorphan at 15,000 ng/mL did not cause a discrepant result at 0.5 ng/mL fentanyl concentration.

Endogenous and Preservative Compound Interference: Compounds were spiked into pooled negative human urine at 0, 0.5, and 1.5 ng/mL fentanyl.
Interference was observed with Boric Acid at 1,000 mg/dL (1% w/v), causing a negative result at +50% Fentanyl Cutoff (1.5 ng/mL). No other significant cross-reactivity was observed.

Specific Gravity Interference: Samples ranging from 1.000 to 1.030 specific gravity were spiked with 0, 0.5, and 1.5 ng/mL fentanyl. No interference was observed across the specific gravity range.

pH Interference: Urine samples at pH levels from 3 to 11 were spiked with 0, 0.5, and 1.5 ng/mL fentanyl. No major interference was observed between pH 3 to pH 11.

Device Description

The LZI Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay with ready-to-use liquid reagents. The assay is based on competition between the drug in the sample and the drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. The drug-labeled G6PDH conjugate is traceable to a commercially available fentanyl standard and referred to as fentanyl-labeled G6PDH conjugate. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the drug concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of a drug in the sample, fentanyl-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to the antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. On the other hand, when the free drug is present in the sample, the antibody would bind to the free drug; the unbound fentanyl-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 Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is a kit comprised of two reagents, R1 and R2, which are bottled separately but sold together within the kit.

The R1 solution contains mouse monoclonal anti-fentanyl 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 fentanyl in buffer with sodium azide (0.09%) as a preservative.

Intended Use

The LZI Fentanyl III Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative determination of fentanyl in human urine at the cutoff value of 1 ng/mL when calibrated against fentanyl. The assay is designed for prescription use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers.

The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result.
