The Atellica™ CH Phencyclidine (Pcp) assay is for in vitro diagnostic use in the qualitative or semiquantitative analyses of phencyclidine in human urine using the Atellica CH Analyzer, using a cutoff of 25 ng/mL. The Pcp assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. The semi-quantitative mode is for purposes of enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution of the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometty (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography/ Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) or permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug-of-abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used.
Device Story
Atellica CH Phencyclidine (Pcp) assay is a homogenous enzyme immunoassay; utilizes competition between drug in urine specimen and drug labeled with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for antibody binding sites. G6PDH activity inversely proportional to drug concentration; active enzyme converts NAD+ to NADH, measured spectrophotometrically at 340/410 nm. Used on Atellica CH Analyzer in clinical laboratories. Provides preliminary qualitative or semiquantitative results; requires confirmatory testing via GC/MS or LC-MS/MS. Assists clinicians in identifying phencyclidine use or overdose; results require professional judgment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision determined per CLSI EP05-A3 (N=80 per concentration). Method comparison against GC/MS reference method showed 98% positive agreement and 95% negative agreement. Interference testing per CLSI EP07-A2 confirmed assay robustness against endogenous compounds, pH, and specific gravity; boric acid identified as causing false negatives.
Indicated for qualitative or semiquantitative detection of phencyclidine in human urine at a 25 ng/mL cutoff. Intended for use as a preliminary analytical test; requires confirmation by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS. For professional use in clinical laboratories.

L. Test Principle:
The Atellica CH PCP assay is a homogenous enzyme immunoassay based on competition between drug present in the specimen and drug labeled-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (PCP-G6PDH) for antibodies raised to PCP. PCP-G6PDH activity decreases upon binding to the anti-PCP antibodies and free PCP in the specimen competitively prevents this binding, so that PCP-G6PDH enzyme activity is proportional to drug concentration in the specimen. Active PCP-G6PDH enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to NADH in the presence of glucose-6-phosphate, resulting in an absorbance change that is measured spectrophotometrically at 340/410 nm.
M. Performance Characteristics (if/when applicable):
1. Analytical performance:
a. Precision/Reproducibility:
Precision study samples were prepared from negative urine samples spiked with nine different concentrations: +100%, +75%, +50%, +25%, cut-off, -25%, -50%, -75% and -100% of the drug cutoff concentration (25 ng/mL) for PCP. Precision was tested using two replicates, two times a day for at least 20 days for a total of at least 80 replicates. The results in the qualitative mode and semi-quantitative mode are identical. The results are summarized below.

Boric acid 1% (w/v) results in a false negative result. The labeling states that boric acid not be used as a preservative for urine samples.
Effect of specific gravity: To evaluate the effect of specific gravity, the specific gravity of drug-free urine samples was adjusted with water or addition of creatinine to obtain the following values: 1.000, 1.002, 1.005, 1.010, 1.015, 1.020, 1.025, and 1.030. Specimens were spiked with PCP at ± 25% of the cutoff values. Six replicates of each specific gravity value and PCP concentration were performed. No positive or negative interference was detected with changes in specific gravity.
Effect of pH: To evaluate the effects of pH, drug-free urine was adjusted to 3.0 to 11.0 (+/- 0.2) in increments of 1 pH unit using 0.1N HCL or 0.1N NaOH. Urine pools were spiked with PCP at 25% below and 25% above the cutoff concentrations. Six replicates of each pH value and PCP concentration were analyzed. The pH ranges tested did not affect the results from the device.

2. Comparison studies:
a. Method comparison with predicate device:
A total of 106, unaltered phencyclidine samples, and 6 altered samples (to achieve below cutoff levels), were analyzed using the Atellica CH PCP Assay and the reference method GC/MS. Results were obtained as positive or negative relative to the 25 ng/mL assay cutoff (qualitative mode) or in analyte units (semi-quantitative mode) on the Atellica CH. One replicate was processed for each sample. Twenty-eight samples were within +/- 50% of the cutoff by GC/MS. The results are summarized below by GC/MS and concordance agreement by Atellica CH Phencyclidine:
