Intended Use
The First Check Home Drug Test (THC) is an educational screening test for the rapid detection of THC (and its metabolites) in human urine at a cut off for the rapid dececeion of the (antended for consumer use as the first step in a two step process to provide consumers, including but not limited to concerned a two seep process to provious concerning the presence of THC (and its parents, with information obliozing is beneficial to consumer metabolices) in a arine baspeable laws and/or societal expectations. Information regarding second step confirmatory testing is provided.
Device Description
The First Check® Home Drug Test (THC), like many commercially available drug screening tests, qualitatively measures the presence or absence of THC and its metabolites in urine using a one step rapid chromatographic immunoassay which operates under the principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes. The cut-off concentration for THC is 50ng/mL.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description clearly states it uses a chromatographic immunoassay, which is a traditional chemical detection method, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.

No.
The device is described as an educational screening test for the rapid detection of THC, not for treating any medical condition or disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is an "educational screening test for the rapid detection of THC (and its metabolites) in human urine," which gathers information about a person's health status (presence of THC and its metabolites). This aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "rapid chromatographic immunoassay" which is a physical test kit, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states it's for the rapid detection of THC (and its metabolites) in human urine. This is a biological sample taken from the body and tested outside of the body, which is the definition of "in vitro".
  • Device Description: The description details a "rapid chromatographic immunoassay" that measures the presence or absence of THC and its metabolites in urine. This further confirms the in vitro nature of the test.
  • Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices (K960744 and Phamatech QuickScreen™ At Home Drug Test) are also home drug tests that analyze urine, which are classified as IVDs.

While the intended use mentions it's an "educational screening test" and the first step in a two-step process, the core function of analyzing a biological sample (urine) for the presence of a substance (THC) outside of the body firmly places it in the category of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 862.3870 Cannabinoid test system.

(a)
Identification. A cannabinoid test system is a device intended to measure any of the cannabinoids, hallucinogenic compounds endogenous to marihuana, in serum, plasma, saliva, and urine. Cannabinoid compounds includedelta -9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, cannabinol, and cannabichromene. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of cannabinoid use or abuse and in monitoring levels of cannabinoids during clinical investigational use.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A cannabinoid 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).

  • Discussion of Technological Characteristics: The First Check® Home VIII. Drug Test (THC), like many commercially available drug screening tests, qualitatively measures the presence or absence of THC and its metabolites in urine using a one step rapid chromatographic immunoassay which operates under the principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes. The cut-off concentration for THC is 50ng/mL.
  • IX. Safety and Effectiveness: Because the First Check® Home Drug Test (THC) is identical to the Applied Biotech SureStep™ Drug Screen THC test that is legally marketed under K960744, and because no special skills, training, education, or licensure are required to transfer a dropper level of urine sample into the test card well, there is no issue regarding the safety or effectiveness of the product to perform its intended function, i.e., to screen urine for the presence or absence of THC and its metabolites. Because the labeling of the First Check® Home Drug Test (THC) is substantially equivalent to a variety of rapid screening tests currently in commercial distribution, including the Phamatech QuickScreen™ At Home Drug Test, and there have been no reports of consumer inability to follow instructions or interpret results during the twenty-four months the product has been purchased by the general public and used in quantities exceeding 87,000 tests, it is concluded that the product can be used effectively by the lay user.
