A drug of abuse assay intended for use in clinical toxicology laboratories, physicians' offices, drug-of-abuse clinics and law enforcement agencies is an in-vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative identification of methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in urine. Measurements that are obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.
Device Story
QuickScreen™ One Step Methamphetamine Test is a lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative detection of methamphetamine in urine. Device utilizes colloidal gold-labeled antibodies in a sandwich immunoassay format; visual color change indicates presence of methamphetamine. Used in clinical toxicology labs, physicians' offices, clinics, and law enforcement agencies by professional technicians. Provides rapid qualitative results to assist healthcare providers in diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance evaluated via sample correlation and blind labeled studies. Compared to Syva EMIT II, device demonstrated >95% sensitivity, >99% specificity, and >97% accuracy. Additional laboratory study showed 84/86 sensitivity, 39/39 specificity, and 123/125 accuracy.
Indicated for the qualitative detection of methamphetamine in urine for individuals suspected of methamphetamine use or overdose. Intended for use in clinical toxicology labs, physicians' offices, drug-of-abuse clinics, and law enforcement agencies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A methamphetamine test system is a device intended to measure methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in serum, plasma, and urine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A methamphetamine 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).

## 510 (k) SUMMARY AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 807.92(C)
Identification: OuickScreen TM One Step Methamphetamine Screening Test (9065)
Description: Immunoassay for the Qualitative Detection of Methamphetamine in Urine
Name Of Manufacturer:
Phamatech 9265 Activity Road #112 / 113 San Diego, California 92126, USA
Intended Use: A drug of abuse assay intended for use in clinical toxicology laboratories, physicians' offices, drug-of-abuse clinics and law enforcement agencies is an in-vitro diagnostic test for the qualitative identification of methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulating drug, in urine. Measurements that are obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of methamphetamine use or overdose
The QuickScreenTM One Step Methamphetamine Test utilizes colloidal Technology: gold as the label like other commercially available immunoassays for drug of abuse (methamphetamine) test kits, to qualitatively measure the presence of methamphetamine by visual color sandwich one step immunoassay technology. Examples of such predicate devices include the ABI SureStep (San Diego. CA 92121)and the Syntron Bioresearch Methamphetamine Test (Vista, CA 92083). All of the above devices rely on the basic immunochemical sandwich assay principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody / Methamphetamine / antibody / complexes.
Performance: The product performance characteristics of the QuickScreen™ One Step Methamphetamine Test was evaluated in a clinical sample correlation study and a blind labeled methamphetamine study. The results of these studies demonstrate the Phamatech QuickScreen™ One Step Methamphetamine Test to be substantially equivalent to the reported performance characteristics of other commercially available tests for the qualitative detection of methamphetamine in urine. Correlation studies, using clinical specimens, produced a sensitivity of >95%, specificity of >99% and accuracy >97% when compared to the Syva EMIT II (San Jose, CA 95161). Two clinical laboratory studies were performed, the Phamatech QuickScreen™ exhibited excellent sensitivity (84/86), specificity (39/39), and accuracy (123/125) in the hands of professional laboratory technicians.
Conclusion: For the reasons mentioned above, it may be concluded that the Phamatech QuickScreen™ One Step Methamphetamine ScreeningTest is substantially equivalent to a variety of qualitative methamphetamine tests currently in commercial distribution.
