Acro Rapid MDMA Urine Test is a lateral flow, rapid immunoassay for the qualitative detection of MDMA in human urine at a cutoff of 500 ng/mL. The test is used to obtain a visual qualitative result and is intended for laboratory use only. This assay provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to a drug test result, particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a confirmed analytical result, a more specific alternate chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS) analysis is preferred.
Device Story
Single-use immunochromatographic cassette test; detects MDMA in human urine. User adds urine to test well; sample migrates via capillary action. Principle: competitive immunochemical reaction between immobilized drug-protein conjugate and drug in sample for limited binding sites on labeled antibody-colloidal gold conjugate. Negative result: line forms at test region (drug concentration below cutoff). Positive result: no line forms (drug competes for binding sites). Procedural control line confirms sample addition. Used in laboratory settings by professional staff. Visual output provides preliminary screening; requires GC/MS confirmation for clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow, rapid immunoassay. Qualitative visual readout. 500 ng/mL cutoff. In vitro diagnostic device for laboratory use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative detection of MDMA in human urine at a 500 ng/mL cutoff. Intended for professional and laboratory use only. Provides preliminary results requiring confirmation by GC/MS.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
None referenced
# L. Test Principle:
The Acro Rapid MDMA Urine test is based on the principle of competitive immunochemical reaction between an immobilized drug-protein conjugate and the drug or drug metabolites, which may be present in the urine sample for limited binding sites for the drug/drug metabolites of a labeled drug antibody. When sample is applied to the test device, the sample migrates by capillary action through the device. MDMA, if present in concentration below the cutoff level, the anti-drug antibodies in colloidal gold conjugate will bind to the drug-protein conjugate coated in the test line (in the test region) to form a line, a negative result. No line will form if the sample contains drug at the cutoff level or higher, because it will compete with drug-protein conjugate with colloidal gold conjugate, a preliminary positive result. Each device contains a procedural control which indicated that the correct amount of sample was added. Formation of a line in the control region should always appear regardless of the presence or absence of drug or drug metabolite in the urine specimen.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
# 1. Analytical performance:
# a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Reproducibility and performance around the cutoff concentration of the device was characterized by analyzing blind-labeled drug-free urine controls containing MDMA. The study was conducted at four sites by four operators using one lot of product. Results at each site were similar. Pooled results are

Procedural controls are included in the test strip of the device. A line appearing in the control region (C) is considered as an internal procedural control. It confirms that a sufficient volume of sample was added to the device.
External control materials are not supplied with this test; however the labeling includes a recommendation that external positive and negative controls be tested to ensure proper kit performance. Users should follow local, state and federal guidelines for testing QC material.
Stability: A summary of stability studies to establish expiration dating was provided. Replicates at concentrations -50% and +50% of the cutoff concentration are periodically tested. Accelerated and Real time studies are described.
d. Detection limit:
See the Precision/Reproducibility section (1a) above.
e. Analytical specificity:
Cross-Reactivity Testing: Cross-reactivity was established by spiking various concentrations of similarly structured drug into drug-free normal urine. These samples were analyzed, and the results appear in the table below:

**Interference Testing**: The following list of unrelated compounds showed no interference when added to drug-free urine or drug-free urine spiked with MDMA (1000 ng/mL). All results remained the same as the control sample (a urine containing no potentially interfering compound). Compounds were added to the urines at concentrations of 10 ug/mL and 100 ug/mL. It should be noted that testing was not performed near the cutoff concentration of the assay.

## Affects from pH and Specific Gravity
Drug-free urine samples were spiked with MDMA to concentrations 50% below and 50% above the cutoff concentration. The pH in each sample was adjusted (in 1 pH increments) over a range of 4 to 9. Each sample was run ten times at each concentration with the Acro Rapid MDMA Urine Test. Altering the pH of the samples did not affect the expected results of the test.
Drug-free urine samples were spiked with MDMA to concentrations 50% below and 50% above the cutoff concentration. The specific gravity in each sample was adjusted to span a range of 1.003-1.04. Each sample was run ten times at each concentration with the Acro Rapid MDMA Urine Test. Altering the specific gravity of the samples did not affect the expected results of the test.
## f. Assay cut-off:
The identified cutoff concentration for MDMA is the one currently recommended by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Analytical performance of the device around the cutoff is described in Section M.1., above.
## 2. Comparison studies:
### a. Method comparison with predicate device:
Urine samples were collected from 60 presumed non-drug-using volunteers and were tested using the Acro Rapid MDMA Test Device and the predicate. All were negative.
Sixty clinically unaltered drug positive urine samples were pre-selected for testing by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). Samples were assayed using the Acro Rapid MDMA device, and results from the study are presented below:
