The Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative determination of benzoylecgonine (a cocaine metabolite) in human urine at a cutoff value of 150 ng/mL. Rx only. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or Liquid Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.
Device Story
Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay is an in vitro diagnostic reagent kit for qualitative detection of benzoylecgonine in human urine. Device utilizes competitive enzyme immunoassay principle; drug in sample competes with enzyme-labeled drug (G6PDH) for fixed antibody binding sites. In absence of drug, enzyme-labeled conjugate binds antibody, inhibiting enzyme activity. Presence of drug displaces conjugate, allowing enzyme to convert NAD to NADH, producing absorbance change measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nm. Assay is performed on BS-480 or BA-800 Chemistry Analyzers in clinical laboratory settings by trained personnel. Results provide preliminary screening; positive results require confirmation via GC/MS or LC/MS. Clinical decision-making must incorporate professional judgment and confirmatory testing. Benefits include rapid, automated screening for cocaine metabolite presence in urine samples.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated over 20 days on BS-480 and BA-800M analyzers using spiked urine samples. Method comparison performed on 114 clinical urine samples against LC/MS reference method. No clinical studies (sensitivity/specificity in patient populations) were required or performed.
Indicated for qualitative detection of benzoylecgonine in human urine at 150 ng/mL cutoff. For prescription use only. Requires confirmatory testing via GC/MS or LC/MS.

## IV Device/System Characteristics:
### A Device Description:
The Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay consists of ready-to-use liquid reagents:
- Reagent 1 contains a mouse monoclonal anti-benzoylecgonine antibody, glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), stabilizers and sodium azide (0.09%) as a preservative.
- Reagent 2 contains glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) labeled with benzoylecgonine in buffer with sodium azide (0.09%) as a preservative.
The Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay has a cutoff of 150 ng/mL benzoylecgonine.
### B Principle of Operation:
{2}
The Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay is based on competition between drug in the sample and drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the drug concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of drug in the sample, benzoylecgonine-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. On the other hand, when drug is present in the sample, antibody binds to the free drug; the unbound benzoylecgonine-labeled G6PDH then exhibits its maximal enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH, resulting in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at a 340 nm primary wavelength.

VI Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
A Analytical Performance:
1. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision was determined by spiking benzoylecgonine into drug free urine at various concentrations (zero, -75%, -50%, -25%, at the cutoff, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% of the cutoff). Concentrations were confirmed by LC/MS. Testing for both the with-in run and between-run studies were performed by testing each sample in 2 replicates, with two runs per day, for 20 days, on both the BS-480 Chemistry Analyzer and the BS-800M Chemistry Analyzer. The qualitative results are presented below as Positive/Negative.

2. Linearity:
Not applicable.
3. Analytical Specificity/Interference:
The following endogenous compounds were added into drug-free urine, urine sample spiked with benzoylecgonine to 75% of cutoff value and urine spiked with benzoylecgonine to 125% of cutoff value. The substances listed in the table below were determined not to interfere at the concentration shown.
Results were identical for both the BS-480 Chemistry Analyzer and the BS-800M Chemistry Analyzer.

To test for possible positive and/or negative interference from pH, urine samples having pH from 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were used. Each of these samples were divided into two aliquots for each drug and spiked with benzoylecgonine to 75% of the cutoff and 125% of the cutoff. No positive or negative interference due to pH was observed on either the BS-480 Chemistry Analyzer or the BS-800M Chemistry Analyzer.
To test for possible positive and/or negative interference from specific gravity, urine samples having specific gravity ranging from 1.009 g/mL to 1.031 g/mL were used. Each of these samples were divided into three aliquots and two were spiked with benzoylecgonine to 75% of the cutoff and 125% of the cutoff, the third was not spiked. No positive or negative interference due to specific gravity was observed on either the BS-480 Chemistry Analyzer or the BS-800M Chemistry Analyzer.
## Cross Reactivity
Cross-reactivity was established by spiking various concentrations of structurally related and unrelated compounds into drug-free urine.
The following tables summarize approximate the quantity of each compound that is equivalent in assay reactivity to the 150 ng/mL benzoylecgonine cutoff. Results are expressed as a minimum concentration of metabolite or compound required to produce a response approximately equivalent to the cutoff concentration of the assay or the maximal concentration of the compound tested that gave a response with cross-reactivity below the cutoff calibrator. The percent cross-reactivity of those compounds are presented below.
