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).

L. Test Principle:
The PROFILE®-V MEDTOXScan® Drugs of Abuse Test System includes a competitive, membrane-based immunochromatographic PROFILE®-V MEDTOXScan® Test Device and the MEDTOXScan® Reader.
Antibody-Colloidal Gold: Mouse monoclonal antibodies bind to the drug being tested.
Drug-Conjugates: Each drug to be tested was individually conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) or IgG. Each drug conjugate is immobilized on a test line at a designated position on the membrane strip.
Control Line: Each test strip has anti-mouse antibody immobilized at the Control (C) position of the membrane strip. The anti-mouse antibody will bind excess antibody-colloidal gold, indicating that the reagents are working properly. When the urine sample is placed in the sample well of a test strip, the dried antibody-colloidal gold under the sample pad dissolves and the urine wicks up the white strips carrying the reddish-purple antibody-colloidal gold with it.
The MEDTOXScan® Reader scans the test device and utilizes a contact imaging sensor (CIS) to capture relative line intensities. Software algorithms and barcodes are used to identify the test device, the drug tests associated with the test device and whether the presence or absence of a line is associated with a negative or positive result, respectively.

# Negative Samples
When no drug(s) is present in the urine sample, the reddish purple antibody-colloidal gold solutions migrate along the strip and bind to the respective drug conjugate(s) immobilized on the membrane. Each strip has up to 4 drug test lines. Labeled T1-T4. The binding of the antibody-colloidal gold to the drug conjugate generates a line at the corresponding test position on the strip. The MEDTOXScan® Reader will scan each test position and if a line is detected it will return “NEG” on the display screen (or print out) next to the abbreviation for the drug test, indicating a negative result.
# Positive Samples
When drug(s) is present in the urine sample the antibody-colloidal gold binds to the drug(s) before it migrates along the strip. When the antibody-colloidal gold binds to the drug(s) in the urine, it cannot bind to the drug conjugate immobilized on the membrane and no line is generated at the drug specific position in the result window. The MEDTOXScan® Reader will scan each test position and if no line is detected it will return “POS” on the display screen (or print out) next to the abbreviation for the drug test, indicating a preliminary positive result.
# Control Line (Valid or Invalid results)
Each test strip has an internal procedural control. A line must form at the Control (C) position in the result window to indicate that sufficient sample was applied and that the reagents are migrating properly. If a Control line does not form, the test is invalid. The MEDTOXScan® Reader scans each control line and returns “VALID” to the right of the drug test result to confirm that the control line was detected. If no control line is detected it will return “INVALID” on the display screen (or print out) next to the abbreviation for the invalid drug test, and no result will be given for that drug test.
# M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Urine stock solutions were prepared for each test compound by spiking standard solution of known concentrations into negative pool urine. Each stock solution concentration was confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS. The stock solution was serially diluted into negative urine to obtain concentrations of 50%, 75%, 125% and 150% of the cutoff. The prepared sample concentrations were confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS. A total of 45 results (3 readers x 3 aliquots for 5 days and one strip lot) were obtained for each level. Testing was rotate between 8 operators. The results are presented in the tables below:
