## Intended Use

The At Home Drug Cup is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of the target drugs/drug metabolites in urine. The cut-off concentration for this test is as follows: amphetamine and MDA; 1000 ng/ml, methamphetamine and MDMA; 500 ng/ml, THC (or marijuana); 50 ng/ml, cocaine; 300 ng/ml, opiates; 300 ng/ml. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in the prevention of drug abuse. This kit is designed to incorporate a mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing to be performed at a SAMHSA certified laboratory.

## Device Story

At Home Drug Cup (Model 9150X) is a lateral flow, visual color, one-step immunoassay for qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in urine. Input is a urine sample; device uses immunochemical sandwich assay principle where specific antibodies bind to target drug/metabolite complexes to produce a visual color change. Output is a qualitative visual result indicating presence or absence of target drugs at specified cut-off concentrations. Designed for home use by lay individuals; includes mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing at SAMHSA-certified laboratories. Assists users in drug abuse prevention by providing preliminary screening results.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical performance evaluated via clinical sample correlation study and blind labeled spiked study. Correlation studies against Behring EMIT II and GC/MS showed >98% correlation. Clinical studies at two independent labs demonstrated >97% accuracy for professional users. Consumer study (n=400) demonstrated 97% accuracy (388/400 correct) for lay users.

## Technological Characteristics

Lateral flow, visual color, one-step immunoassay. Principle: immunochemical sandwich assay (antibody/target drug complex formation). Form factor: cup. No electronic components or software.

## Predicate Devices

- QuickScreen At Home Drug Test (9150T)
- Applied Biotech SureStep Test

## Reference Devices

- Behring EMIT II

Identification: At Home Drug Cup (Model 9150X)

Description: Immunoassay for the qualitative detection of amphetamine, MDA methamphetamine, MDMA, THC, cocaine and opiates in urine

Intended Use: The At Home Drug Cup is a rapid, qualitative immunoassay for the detection of the target drugs/drug metabolites in urine. The cut-off concentration for this test is as follows: amphetamine and MDA; 1000 ng/ml, methamphetamine and MDMA; 500 ng/ml, THC (or marijuana); 50 ng/ml, cocaine; 300 ng/ml, opiates; 300 ng/ml. This assay is intended for use in the home to assist in the prevention of drug abuse. This kit is designed to incorporate a mechanism for anonymous confirmation testing to be performed at a SAMHSA certified laboratory.

The At Home Drug Cup, like many commercially available drug screening test Technology: kits, qualitatively measures the presence of target drugs or their metabolites by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the QuickScreen At Home Drug Test (9150T) and the Applied Biotech SureStep Test (San Diego, CA 92121). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / target drug / complexes.

Performance: The product performance characteristics of the At Home Drug Cup were evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled spiked study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Phamatech At Home Drug Cup to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of the stated target drugs in urine. Correlations studies, using clinical specimens. produced a >98% correlation when compared to the Behring EMIT II (Cupertino, CA 95014) and GC/MS methodology. Clinical studies, performed at two independent laboratories, were also performed. In them the Phamatech At Home Drug Test™ exhibited excellent overall accuracy (>97%) in the hands of professional users. A comsumer study was also performed. The At Home Drug Cup exhibited excellent overall accuracy (388/400 correct or 97%) in the hands of lay users.

Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech At Home Drug Cup Model 9150X is substantially equivalent to a variety of detection tests currently in commercial distribution and is safe in the hands of the lay user.
