Indications for Use

InstaStrip Fentanyl Rapid Test (Urine) is intended for the qualitative detection of fentanyl in human urine at the cutoff value of 1.0 ng/mL. The test is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method (e.g., gas or liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive. The InstaStrip Fentanyl Dipstick Test (Urine) is intended for the qualitative detection of fentanyl in human urine at the cutoff value of 1.0 ng/mL. The assay provides only a preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method (e.g., gas or liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry) must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive.

Device Story

InstaStrip Fentanyl Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of fentanyl in human urine; cutoff 1.0 ng/mL. Device components include test strip, test tube, and dropper. Principle: competitive binding; urine sample mixed with rabbit monoclonal antibody-gold nanoparticle conjugates; mixture applied to strip; pre-immobilized fentanyl-BSA on test line competes with sample fentanyl for antibody binding. Result: positive (no test line) if fentanyl >1 ng/mL; negative (visible test line) if fentanyl <1 ng/mL. Control line confirms test validity. Intended for OTC use; performed by lay users. Provides preliminary results; requires professional clinical judgment and confirmatory testing via chromatography/mass spectrometry for clinical decisions. Benefits: rapid, accessible screening for fentanyl presence.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies performed. Evidence consists of bench testing: precision studies (n=60 per concentration per lot), interference testing with various physiological/pathological substances, specificity/cross-reactivity analysis, and method comparison against LC/MS using 85 clinical samples. Lay-user study (n=140) confirmed usability and performance across diverse educational backgrounds. Results demonstrate high concordance with LC/MS and successful interpretation by lay users.

Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay; competitive binding principle. Components: test strip, test tube, dropper. Reagents: rabbit monoclonal antibody-gold nanoparticle conjugates, pre-immobilized fentanyl-BSA. Storage: 15-30°C. Standalone device; no connectivity or software. Qualitative visual readout.

Indications for Use

Indicated for qualitative detection of fentanyl in human urine at 1.0 ng/mL cutoff. Intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use by lay users (age 18+). Provides preliminary results only; requires confirmation by GC/MS or LC/MS.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).

C Special Conditions for Use Statement(s): OTC - Over The Counter D Special Instrument Requirements: Not applicable. IV Device/System Characteristics: A Device Description: InstaStrip Fentanyl Rapid Test (Urine) and InstaStrip Fentanyl Dipstick Test (Urine) are an immunoassay technique that is based on competitive lateral flow immunoassay intended for the qualitative detection of fentanyl in human urine. The candidate devices consist of a urine cup, test tube, dropper, test strip, tube stand, and package insert. Each test strip is sealed with sachets of desiccant in an aluminum pouch. B Principle of Operation: The urine sample is added to a provided test tube containing dried rabbit monoclonal antibody-gold nanoparticle (Ab-AuNP) conjugates. The test tube is shaken until the Ab-AuNP pellet is dissolved and the sample turns pink. The test strip is then inserted into the test tube and the user caps the test tube. The pre-immobilized fentanyl-BSA on the test line competes with fentanyl in the urine sample for binding to the Ab-AuNPs. The device is designed so that when the fentanyl concentration in the urine sample exceeds 1 ng/mL, the test line is no longer visible. The test line {2} will be visible and the result is negative when the fentanyl concentration in the urine sample is less than 1 ng/mL. No matter whether the sample contains the corresponding analyte or not, the quality control area (C) will develop a colored line, which is the criteria for judging whether the chromatography process is normal or not.

VII Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable): A Analytical Performance: K240295 - Page 3 of 10 {3} K240295 - Page 4 of 10 1. Precision/Reproducibility: Precision studies for InstaStrip Fentanyl Rapid Test (Urine) and InstaStrip Fentanyl Dipstick Test (Urine) were carried out at one site. The randomized and blinded study was performed for samples with concentrations of -100% cut-off, -75% cut-off, -50% cut-off, -25% cut-off, cut-off, +25% cut-off, +50% cut-off, +75% cut-off and +100% cut-off where the fentanyl cut-off concentration was 1 ng/mL. Samples with concentration of -100% cut-off were drug-free urine samples. Other samples were prepared by spiking target drug fentanyl in drug-free urine samples. Each drug concentration was confirmed by LC/MS. The samples were tested by three operators using three different device lots over a 10-day period, each operator tested a single lot. Six tests per day per concentration per lot were tested for a total 54 tests per day per lot. | Lot Number | -100% cut-off | -75% cut-off | -50% cut-off | -25% cut-off | cut-off | 25% cut-off | 50% cut-off | 75% cut-off | 100% cut-off | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Lot 1 | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 54-/6+ | 32+/28- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | | Lot 2 | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 55-/5+ | 30+/30- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | | Lot 3 | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 60-/0+ | 55-/5+ | 34+/26- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 60+/0- | 2. Linearity: Not applicable, this device is intended for qualitative use only. 3. Analytical Specificity/Interference: Cross-Reactivity: To test specificity, similarly structured drug metabolites and other components that are likely to interfere in urine samples were tested using three lots of device by three different operators. 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. The percent cross reactivity of those compounds is listed below (if no cross reactivity was observed, the highest concentration tested is shown as &lt;0.01%): | Compounds for cross reactivity | Concentration Approximately Equivalent to the Cut-off (ng/mL) | Percent (%) cross reactivity | | --- | --- | --- | | Acetyl fentanyl | 1 | 100 | | Acetyl norfentanyl | >10,000 | <0.01 | | Acrylfentanyl | 1.8 | 56 | | Alfentanil | >10,000 | <0.01 | | Benzodioxole fentanyl | 4.8 | 21 | | Butyryl fentanyl | 1 | 100 | | Carfentanil | >10,000 | <0.01 | | Crotonyl fentanyl | 1 | 100 | {4} The following structurally unrelated opioid compounds were tested at a concentration of 100 $\mu \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL}$ .
