Intended Use
The SYNCHRON Systems Methaqualone Reagent, in conjunction with the SYNCHRON System DAT Urine Calibrators, is intended for use in the qualitative determination of Methaqualone in human urine samples. This assay is designed for use with the family of SYNCHRON Systems, which include analyzers such as the SYNCHRON CX®4, CX6 DELTA, CX5, CX5CE, CX5 DELTA, CX7, and CX7 DELTA Systems.
Device Description
The SYNCHRON Methaqualone Reagent is an enzyme immunoassay reagent test kit for the SYNCHRON Systems and provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of Methaqualone and it's metabolites in urine. It is designed to complement the current panel of CX Drugs of Abuse Assays, previously cleared by FDA. The kit consists of reagent and calibrators.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard enzyme immunoassay reagent kit for a chemistry analyzer, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a "reagent" for "qualitative determination of Methaqualone in human urine samples," indicating it is for diagnostic testing, not treatment.

Yes
The device is intended for the "qualitative determination of Methaqualone in human urine samples," which clearly indicates its use in identifying a medical condition (presence of a substance) in a patient sample.

No

The device is described as a "reagent test kit" consisting of "reagent and calibrators," which are physical components, not software. It is intended for use with specific hardware analyzers (SYNCHRON Systems).

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "qualitative determination of Methaqualone in human urine samples." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body (urine) outside of the body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information (presence of Methaqualone).
  • Device Description: The description refers to it as an "enzyme immunoassay reagent test kit" and a "rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of Methaqualone and it's metabolites in urine." This further confirms its use in laboratory testing of biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies compare the device's results to other diagnostic tests (Emit II Reagent and GCMS), which is typical for validating an IVD.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also diagnostic assays (Emit II Methaqualone Assay, Methaqualone Reagent, Urine Calibrator and Controls), indicating that this device falls into the same category.

All of these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. A methaqualone test system is a device intended to measure methaqualone, a hypnotic and sedative drug, in urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methaqualone use or overdose.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A methaqualone 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).
