Intended Use
Instant-View Methamphetamine Urine Cassette Test is a qualitative one step lateral flow, competitive binding immunoassay device intended to be used to detect methamphetamine in human urine at a cutoff level of 500 ng/ml. It is intended for health care professional use only. The US Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recommends the screening levels for Methamphetamine to be at a concentration of 1000 ng/ml. This test provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrophotometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse, consideration and positive results are used.
Device Description
This test is a one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay.

No
The device description and performance studies describe a standard lateral flow immunoassay, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
This device is a diagnostic test used to detect methamphetamine in urine, not to treat a condition.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended to detect methamphetamine in human urine, providing a preliminary analytical test result for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a "lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay device," 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 / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended to be used to detect methamphetamine in human urine". This is a classic example of an in vitro diagnostic test, as it analyzes a biological sample (urine) outside of the body to diagnose or detect a condition (presence of methamphetamine).
  • Device Description: The description of the device as a "one-step lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay" further supports its classification as an IVD. Immunoassays are common techniques used in IVD tests to detect specific substances in biological samples.
  • Sample Type: The test uses "human urine" as the sample, which is a biological specimen analyzed in vitro.
  • Purpose: The purpose is to "detect methamphetamine", which is a substance indicative of drug use, a condition that can be diagnosed or monitored through in vitro testing.

The fact that it's for "health care professional use only" and provides a "preliminary analytical test result" that requires confirmation by another method (like GC/MS) is also consistent with many IVD devices used in clinical settings.

§ 862.3610 Methamphetamine test system.

(a)
Identification. A methamphetamine test system is a device intended to measure methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A methamphetamine 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 and
Conclusiona negative result, and the methamphetamine level is
below 500 ng/ml.

• Technological Characteristics:
Both devices are one step, qualitative, competitive
