Intended Use
The Polymed Therapeutics' Fastep™ Dipstick Drugs of Abuse Screen Device and Polymed Therapeutics' Faster™ Divcard Drugs of Abuse Screen Device are rapid chromatographic. immunoassays for the qualitative and simultaneous detection of one to seven of the following drugs in a variety of combinations in human urine. The cutoff concentrations and direct calibrator for these drugs are as follows: [Table of analytes: AMP 1000ng/mL, BZO 300ng/mL, COC 300ng/mL, THC 50ng/mL, MOR 2000ng/mL, PCP 25ng/mL, MDMA 500ng/mL]. For prescription use in central laboratories only. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
Device Story
The Fastep™ Dipstick and Dipcard are lateral flow chromatographic immunoassays for rapid, qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in human urine. The device uses colloidal gold-based technology to detect specific drug analytes at defined cutoff concentrations. It is intended for use in central laboratories by professional staff. The operator applies a urine sample to the device; results are read visually within a 5-10 minute window. The device provides a preliminary screening result; positive results require confirmation via GC/MS or LC/MS. The output assists clinicians in identifying potential drug presence, supporting clinical decision-making when combined with professional judgment.
Clinical Evidence
Performance evaluated via blind-labeled clinical specimen correlation studies and blind-labeled spiked control studies. Metrics included accuracy, precision, specificity, and interference. Results demonstrated substantial equivalence to the ACON One Step DOA Screen Test panels and performance characteristics consistent with GC/MS and/or LC/MS methodology.
Technological Characteristics
Lateral flow immunochromatographic strip; colloidal gold-based. Materials include membrane with immobilized drug-protein conjugates and antibody-colloidal gold conjugate pads. Dimensions: single strip or multi-strip card. Storage: 2–30°C. Shelf life: 24 months. No electronic components; visually read.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the qualitative, simultaneous detection of one to seven drugs (AMP, BZO, COC, THC, MOR, PCP, MDMA) in human urine. Intended for prescription use in central laboratories only to provide preliminary analytical results.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An amphetamine test system is a device intended to measure amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in plasma and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of amphetamine use or overdose and in monitoring levels of amphetamine to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An amphetamine 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).
