Intended Use
MECTEST is a kit for the processing and semiquantitative analysis of meconium for cocaine, opiate and cannabinoid by radioimmunoassay and for the processing and semiquantitative analysis of cocaine and opiate by enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) and by fluorescence polarization (FPIA). MECTEST is for hospital and laboratory use only. MECTEST is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to prospectively screen and identify newborn infants exposed to drugs (cocaine, opiate and cannabinoid) in utero. Meconium drug testing via MECTEST is an idea and important diagnostic tool for clinical and research applications. MECTEST offers a positive alternative to urine analysis because (1) it is highly sensitive and specific, (2) the test can be performed using commong laboratory techniques for purposes of mass screening with capabilities of GC/MS confirmation, (3) collection of meconium is easy and non invasive, (4) analysis of serial meconium can reflect the type, chronology and amount of in utero drug exposure of the infant, and, (5) drugs in meconium are present up to the third day after birth; thus late testing of the infant for drugs is possible.

No
The description focuses on immunoassay techniques (radioimmunoassay, EMIT, FPIA) for chemical analysis, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is an in vitro diagnostic device used to screen and identify newborn infants exposed to drugs, not to treat them.

Yes

The document explicitly states: "MECTEST is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to prospectively screen and identify newborn infants exposed to drugs (cocaine, opiate and cannabinoid) in utero. Meconium drug testing via MECTEST is an idea and important diagnostic tool for clinical and research applications."

No

The device is described as a "kit" for processing and analysis using laboratory techniques like radioimmunoassay, enzyme immunoassay, and fluorescence polarization, which are hardware-based methods.

Yes, based on the provided information, MECTEST is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states "MECTEST is an in vitro diagnostic device intended to prospectively screen and identify newborn infants exposed to drugs (cocaine, opiate and cannabinoid) in utero." This directly aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "kit for the processing and semiquantitative analysis of meconium," which is a biological specimen. The analysis is performed using laboratory techniques (radioimmunoassay, enzyme immunoassay, fluorescence polarization).
  • Anatomical Site: The device analyzes "Meconium," which is a specimen taken from the human body (specifically, newborn infants).
  • Intended User/Care Setting: The device is for "hospital and laboratory use only," which are typical settings for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

The information provided clearly indicates that MECTEST is a device used to analyze a human specimen (meconium) outside of the body (in vitro) to provide diagnostic information about drug exposure in newborn infants.

§ 862.3250 Cocaine and cocaine metabolite test system.

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