Intended Use

Syntron's QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate assay is a rapid, qualitative, competitive binding immunoassay for the determination of Barbiturate 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 QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate Test is not intended to monitor drug levels, but only to screen urines for the presence of Barbiturate and its metabolites,

Device Description

Syntron's QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate 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 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.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study details for the QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate Test:

1. Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Clinical Trial)
Relative SensitivityHigh (Close to 100%)100%
Relative SpecificityHigh (Close to 100%)99.41%
AccuracyHigh (Close to 100%)99.61%

The document states "By non parametric testing the results are not significantly different from one another," suggesting that the performance against the predicate device (Emit II®) was considered acceptable.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size: 307 samples
  • Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but implies a clinical trial setting. The document mentions "A clinical trial consisting of 307 samples was run," suggesting prospective data collection. The country of origin is not specified.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications:

  • Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated how many experts were involved. The ground truth was established by instrumental analysis (GC/MS).
  • Qualifications: Not applicable for establishing ground truth as it was based on GC/MS.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • Adjudication Method: Not explicitly stated as a formal adjudication process. The primary comparator was Syva EMIT® (200) II, with all positive samples by either screening method (QuikPac II or EMIT II®) then confirmed by GC/MS (200 ng/ml). This acts as a confirmatory "adjudication" for positive results.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done:

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is a qualitative diagnostic test that provides a visual readout (color band), not an imaging-based interpretation requiring multiple human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:

  • Yes, this study is inherently a standalone performance evaluation of the device. The QuikPac II test is designed to provide a direct readout without human interpretation beyond observing the presence or absence of a color band, and then comparing that result to other methods. The performance metrics (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) are for the device itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • Type of Ground Truth: Gold standard instrumental analysis: Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry (GC/MS) at a cutoff of 200 ng/ml.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • The document does not explicitly mention a separate "training set" or its size. In-house testing was performed, but the number of samples in this phase is not specified. For this type of diagnostic device, development often involves internal validation rather than distinct "training" and "test" sets in the machine learning sense. The 307 samples represent the clinical trial/test set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

  • As a distinct training set is not explicitly mentioned, the method for establishing ground truth for any in-house testing (development/validation) would likely be similar to the clinical trial: comparison against a reference method (Syva EMIT®) and confirmation of true positives by GC/MS.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

The sponsor, Syntron Bioresearch, Inc. (2774 Loker Ave. West, Carlsbad, California, 92008), has developed, manufactured, and tested under GMP/GLP guidelines a device for the qualitative testing of urine for the presence of Barbiturate and its metabolites in a screening format.

The trade name of the device is QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate Test having a designated common name of Barbiturate Test System and a classification as a Class II device per 21 CFR ¶ 862.3150. This device is intended for the medical/forensic screening of urine.

Syntron's QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate 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 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.

In-house testing of Syntron's QuikPac II One Step Barbiturate Test yielded a relative sensitivity or agreement within positive samples of 1.000 and relative specificity or agreement within negative samples of 1.000 and an accuracy of 100% when tested against Syva EMIT® (200) II on samples documented to be positive by GC/MS. A clinical trial consisting of 307 samples was run and the combined data yielded a relative sensitivity of 100%, a relative specificity of 99.41% with an accuracy of 99.61% when compared to Emit II® run at 200 ng/ml. By non parametric testing the results are not significantly different from one another. QuikPac II yielded 2 false positives due to the presence of an adulterant "Clean Jane" [sodium dodecylsulfate (Tide)].

All positive samples by either screening method were confirmed by GC/MS (200 ng/ml) . The testing performed by both the sponsor and the Clinical Trial site did find 2 false positives and no false negatives in the samples tested. The false positives were due to the presence of "Clean Jane" (sodium dodecylsulfate (Tide)]. GC/MS confirmed the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate (Tide).

§ 862.3150 Barbiturate test system.

(a)
Identification. A barbiturate test system is a device intended to measure barbiturates, a class of hypnotic and sedative drugs, in serum, urine, and gastric contents. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of barbiturate use or overdose and in monitoring levels of barbiturate to ensure appropriate therapy.(b)
