## Indications for Use

For in vitro diagnostic point-of-care prescription use. The LifePoint® IMPACT® Test System Saliva Test Module (STM) for Opiate is a professional use singledrug test for the rapid determination of Opiate in human saliva. It provides qualitative screening results for Opiate at a cut-off value of 40 ng/mL. The disposable STM is used exclusively with the LifePoint IMPACT Test System instrument. This assay provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to any drug of abuse 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) is the preferred confirmation method.

## Device Story

The IMPACT Test System is a point-of-care diagnostic platform for drug abuse screening. It utilizes a disposable Saliva Test Module (STM) to analyze human saliva samples. The system performs rapid, qualitative detection of Opiates at a 40 ng/mL threshold. Designed for professional use in clinical settings, the device provides preliminary screening results to healthcare providers. These results assist in clinical decision-making but require confirmation by more specific analytical methods, such as Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS), before final diagnosis or action. The system streamlines the initial screening process, allowing for immediate assessment of potential opiate presence in a clinical environment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

The device consists of a disposable Saliva Test Module (STM) used with the LifePoint IMPACT Test System instrument. It functions as an in vitro diagnostic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of opiates in saliva. The system is designed for professional point-of-care use.

## Regulatory 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).

4. Special instrument Requirements: IMPACT instrument.

I. Device Description:

The IMPACT Test System is a saliva-based, on-site drugs of abuse system. It automatically collects saliva and analyzes up to 10 drugs simultaneously in about 5 minutes. The system has two main components: 1) A single-use saliva test module (SMT) that consists of a mouthpiece, tubing and self-contained test cassette, and 2) an automated, transportable instrument or reader.

The system aspirates a small sample of saliva that is distributed to chambers inside the cassette for analysis. The reader has electronic checks. All functions are managed by the instrument through its software.

The five components to the reader are:
- Reader base assembly
- Reader mounted keypad and display
- Electro-mechanical assembly for processing STM
- Upper housing assembly
- Internal printer, imbedded processor, and interface electronics

The SMT is a single-use, disposable device that performs immunochemical and enzymatic assays. The module is constructed primarily of injection molded plastics. It is designed to align the optical components within the STM to the reader optical assemblies. It has a two-dimensional bar code that contains all the

{2}

lot specific data for the tests contained within it.

The test sequence is:

- Cassette loading
- Sample aspiration/preparation
- Reader scanning and data acquisition
- Cassette unloading

# J. Substantial Equivalence Information:

1. Predicate device name(s):

OraSure Technologies Intercept Saliva Opiates Assay

2. Predicate K number(s):

k981341

3. Comparison with predicate:

Both devices are for the qualitative determination of the same analyte(s) in the same matrix. Both are instrument-read devices.

The predicate device is a competitive EIA utilizing a horseradish peroxidase tracer and a cutoff of  $5\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . It calculates the concentration using a change in absorbance via a microplate reader at  $450\mathrm{nm}$ . The candidate device is a continuous flow immunoassay utilizing an opiate/CY5 tracer at a cutoff of  $40\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . It calculates the concentration via fluorescence intensity at  $670\mathrm{nm}$  by the IMPACT test system.

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):

The sponsor referenced the following guidance document(s) in their submission: Guidance for Prescription Use Drugs of Abuse Assays Premarket Notifications, published November 2000. They indicated that they referred to this document while designing their studies.

# L. Test Principle:

The instrument uses a technology which the sponsor calls Continuous Flow Immunoassay. The assay employs fluorescent-labeled individual drugs bound to a solid-phase monoclonal antibody specific for each drug in an individual column. There is competitive binding for limited antibody binding sites between drug in the saliva and a fluorescent-labeled antigen. When the sample is introduced into an individual micro-column containing the specific drug reagent, the fluorescent labeled tracer is displayed from the immobilized antibody and flows into a small detection cell where it is detected using a laser/detector optical system at the appropriate wavelength. The fluorescence intensity (relative fluorescence units or RFU) is proportional to the drug level in the sample. Results are reported as either negative (if RFUs of the unknown are greater than the RFU of the cut-off calibrator) or presumptive positive (if they are greater or equal to the RFU of the cut-off calibrator).

The antibody utilized in this test is a monoclonal (mouse) antibody against morphine.

* IMPACT test results expressed in Relative Fluorescence Units. At a cut-off concentration of 40 ng/mL the RFU is 1.10. Samples with RFU values less than 1.10 are negative. Samples with RFU values greater than or equal to 1.10 are positive.

# b. Linearity/assay reportable range:

Not applicable. The assay is intended for qualitative use.

# c. Traceability (controls, calibrators, or method):

The assay is calibrated during the manufacturing process using four calibrators. A calibration response curve is constructed by plotting RFUs against the known drug concentrations of morphine-3-glucuronide. This information is included in the bar code reader of the SMT. The concentrations of the calibrators are 20, 40, 80, and  $120\mathrm{ng / mL}$ . Each concentration is assayed 21 times using 12 different STMs on different IMPACT instruments. Each is calibrated against one another, and normalized to yield the same output signal as all manufactured instruments.

Stability claims for the calibrator are not applicable. Stability is a function of the reagent stability.

# d. Detection limit:

The LOD was calculated by assaying 20 replicates of drug free oral fluid specimens, calculating the mean fluorescence signal of those replicates, then adding 3 standard deviations to the mean. The concentration of this reading was extrapolated from the standard curve. The LOD is  $12.0\mathrm{ng / mL}$ .

Sensitivity of this assay can also be characterized by validating performance around the claimed cutoff concentration of the assay, including a determination of the lowest concentration of drug that is capable of producing a positive result. This information appears in the precision section, above.

e. Analytical specificity:

Cross Reactivity to Structurally Related Compounds:

The following compounds, structurally similar to opiates, were tested for cross-reactivity using the IMPACT Test System Opiates Test. Each tested compound was prepared in human saliva. Morphine was used as the standard and represents 100% activity at the cut-off concentration at 40 ng/ml. The percent cross-reactivity of a compound in the assay is defined as the apparent morphine concentration divided by the spiked concentration times 100.

**Interferents**

For all assays, the following compounds were tested and gave a negative result in human saliva. The compounds were spiked into pooled normal human saliva containing the control material (morphine-3-glucuronide) and the RFU signal strength of the mixture was measured. The signal strength (RFU) was compared to the signal strength of the control (morphine-3-glucuronide) containing no interferent. None of the interferents in the presence of (morphine-3-glucuronide) was found to produce a signal (RFU) that was lower than that of the cut-off control solution alone.

## f. Assay cut-off:

To date the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has not accepted the use of oral fluids into the Federal Workplace Program.

Characterization of how the device performs analytically around the claimed cutoff concentration appears in the precision section, above.

## 2. Comparison studies:

a. Method comparison with predicate device:

Performance of the IMPACT assay was evaluated in two separate clinical studies. In each study, subjects who were either known or suspected drug users were asked to provide information on their recent drug use. Subjects provided a sample for analysis by the IMPACT system, and a second sample to be analyzed by GC/MS. Samples to be tested by GC/MS were collected within 30 minutes of the sample analyzed by the IMPACT system. IMPACT test results were compared to self-reported drug use and to GC/MS test results.

The IMPACT drug assay was performed on-site by four different operators at three different point-of-care locations. Operators had little or no laboratory testing experience or training prior to the study.

Results from the studies are presented below. The table describes the agreement between IMPACT results and GC/MS results, and are separated according to whether donors indicated they had (or had not) used an opiate within 48 hours. Nine-nine donors indicated they had not used opiates within the past 48 hours, and 105 indicated that they had. (Of the 105 individuals indicating they had used opiates,

{8}

Page 9 of 11

97 % of them indicated they used the drug within the previous 24 hours.) GC/MS results are stratified according to the concentration of morphine-3-glucoronide in the sample.

Results of Those Indicating No Opiate Use within the Previous 48 hours

|  Number of Test Subjects | GC/MS M3G Concentration Range in the Sample * (ng/mL) | IMPACT Test Result  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |   |  Number of Negative Samples | Number of Presumed Positive Samples  |
|  92 | No Drug | 92** | 0  |
|  5 | 4-28 | 4 | 1  |
|  2 | 131-181 | 0 | 2  |

* The determination of M3G content in saliva is an accepted marker of opiate drug (Cone, E. J. Saliva Testing for Drugs of Abuse-see reference 2). The cut-off concentration is 40 ng/mL of M3G.
** A portion of these samples were tested a second time, and two samples produced a presumed positive result.

Results of Those Indicating Opiate Use within the Previous 48 hours

|  Number of Test Subjects | GC/MS M3G Concentration Range in the Sample * (ng/mL) | IMPACT Test Result  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |   |  Number of Negative Samples | Number of Presumed Positive Samples  |
|  26 | No Drug | 25 | 1  |
|  8 | 6-26 | 6 | 2  |
|  10 | 40-60 | 4 | 6  |
|  15 | 69-220 | 0 | 15  |
|  23 | 221-423 | 5** | 18  |
|  23 | 427-1056 | 0 | 23  |

** It is believed that these negative test results were a result of inadequate volume of sample tested during the study. The system was later modified to detect short samples. When the samples were tested, all rendered Presumed Positive results.

GC/MS analysis was performed in-house by LifePoint, Inc.
