Intended Use
Syntron's QuikStrip One Step Benzodiazepine assay is a rapid, qualitative, competitive binding immunoassay for the determination of Benzodiazepine in urine at the cutoff level of 200 ng/ml. The test provides only preliminary data which should be confirmed by other methods such as gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometry (GC/MS). Clinical considerations and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated. Syntron's QuikStrip One Step Benzodiazepine Test is not intended to monitor drug levels, but only to screen urines for the presence of Benzodiazepine and its metabolites:
Device Description
Syntron's QuikStrip One Step Benzodiazepine Test consists of a chromatographic absorbent device in which the drug or drug metabolites in the sample compete with a drug conjugate immobilized on a porous membrane support for the limited antibody sites. As the test sample flows up through the absorbent device, the labeled antibody-dye conjugate binds to the free drug in the specimen forming an antibody:antigen complex. This complex competes with immobilized antigen conjugate in the positive reaction zone and will not produce a magenta color band when the drug is above the detection level of 200 ng/ml. Unbound dye conjugate binds to the reagent in the control zone, producing a magenta color band, demonstrating that the reagents and device are functioning correctly.

No
The device description details a simple immunoassay based on competitive binding and colorimetric detection, with no mention of computational analysis or learning algorithms.

No.
The device is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for screening benzodiazepine in urine, providing only preliminary data and is not intended to monitor drug levels or treat any condition.

Yes

This device is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the determination of Benzodiazepine in urine, providing preliminary data for the presence of the substance. This falls under diagnostic testing as it aims to identify the presence of a specific condition (benzodiazepine use) in a sample.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical chromatographic absorbent device, which is a hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the "determination of Benzodiazepine in urine." This involves testing a sample taken from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state (presence of a drug).
  • Device Description: The description details a "chromatographic absorbent device" that analyzes a "test sample" (urine) using chemical reactions (competitive binding immunoassay) to detect the presence of a substance. This is a typical description of an IVD test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies involve testing human urine samples and comparing the results to other diagnostic methods (GC/MS and Syva EMIT® II). This is characteristic of the validation process for an IVD.
  • Key Metrics: The reporting of metrics like sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are standard for evaluating the performance of IVD devices.

The fact that it's a "rapid, qualitative, competitive binding immunoassay" for detecting a substance in a bodily fluid (urine) firmly places it within the category of In Vitro Diagnostics.

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

In-house testing of Syntron's QuikStrip One Step Benzodiazepine Test yielded a relative sensitivity or agreement within positive samples of 1.000 and relative specificity or agreement within negative samples of .9740 and an accuracy of 98.54% when tested against Syva EMIT® II on samples documented to be positive by GC/MS. A clinical trial consisting of 303 samples was run and the combined data yielded a relative sensitivity of 100%, a relative specificity of 95.42% with an accuracy of 97.69% when compared to Emit II® run at 200 ng/ml. By non parametric testing the results are significantly different from one another. Emit II yielded 7 false positives. GC/MS results indicated the presence of drugs, but at a level below the cutoff of 200 ng/ml. All positive samples by either screening method were confirmed by GCMS. The testing performed by both the sponsor and the Clinical Trial site did find 2 and 7 respectively false positives and no false negatives in the samples tested. GC/MS confirmed the presence of benzodiazenines but at levels below the cutoff of 200 ng/ml.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

In-house testing: relative sensitivity 1.000, relative specificity 0.9740, accuracy 98.54%.
Clinical trial (303 samples): relative sensitivity 100%, relative specificity 95.42%, accuracy 97.69%.
False positives: In-house testing 2, Clinical trial 7.
False negatives: 0 in both.

§ 862.3170 Benzodiazepine test system.

(a)
Identification. A benzodiazepine test system is a device intended to measure any of the benzodiazepine compounds, sedative and hypnotic drugs, in blood, plasma, and urine. The benzodiazepine compounds include chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, oxazepam, chlorzepate, flurazepam, and nitrazepam. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of benzodiazepine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of benzodiazepines to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A benzodiazepine 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).

GC/MS results indicated the presence of drugs, but at a level below the cutoff of 200 ng/ml.

. All positive samples by either screening method were confirmed by GCMS. The testing performed by both the sponsor and the Clinical Trial site did find 2 and 7 respectively false positives and no false negatives in the samples tested. GC/MS confirmed the presence of benzodiazenines but at levels below the cutoff of 200 ng/ml.
