Intended Use
The First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 is an educational screening test for the rapid detection of marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates, methamphetamine and for their metabolites in human urine at cut-off levels of 50ng/mL, 300ng/mL, 300ng/mL and 1,000ng/mL respectively. The test is intended for consumer use as the first step in a two step process to provide consumers, including but not limited to concerned parents, with information concerning the presence or absence of the four drugs concerned. This information is beneficial to consumer efforts to comply with applicable laws and/or societal expectations. Information regarding second step confirmatory testing is provided.
Device Story
First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 is a rapid, one-step chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in urine. Device utilizes antibody/target drug/antibody complex formation to identify presence of marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates, and methamphetamine. User applies urine sample to test card well; results interpreted visually by user. Intended for home use by lay persons (e.g., parents) as preliminary screening tool. Positive results require secondary confirmatory testing. Provides consumers with information regarding drug presence to assist in compliance with laws or societal expectations.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Device relies on substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices using established chromatographic immunoassay technology.
Technological Characteristics
One-step rapid chromatographic immunoassay. Principle: recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes. Cut-off concentrations: THC 50ng/mL, COC 300ng/mL, OPI 300ng/mL, MET 1,000ng/mL. Form factor: test card with sample well. Standalone device; no connectivity.
Indications for Use
Indicated for consumers, including parents, for rapid, preliminary qualitative screening of human urine for marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates, and methamphetamine and their metabolites. Intended as the first step in a two-step testing process; requires confirmatory testing for positive results.
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).

- Date of Preparation of this Summary: November 8, 1999 II.
- Trade Name: First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 III.
- Common Name: At home drugs of abuse rapid screening test for IV. marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates and methamphetamine in urine.
- Classification Name: Immunoassay for the qualitative detection of drugs V. of abuse in urine.
- VI. The Marketed Products to Which Equivalence is Claimed: The First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 that is the subject of this submission is identical to the Applied Biotech SureStep™ Drug Screen Multi Test in terms of intended use, product design, performance characteristics, materials of construction, and manufacturing process. It is also substantially equivalent to the Phamatech QuickScreen™ At Home Drug Test and other commercially available drug screening tests which qualitatively measure the presence of target drugs or metabolites by visual color one step immunoassay technology.
- VII. Statement of Intended Use Compared to Other Products: The intended use of the First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 is substantially equivalent to the listed products; it is a preliminary, rapid screening test for the detection of marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates and methamphetamine and/or their metabolites in urine. This product is intended to be the first step in a two step process to provide consumers, including concerned parents, with information regarding the presence or absence of these four drugs and/or their metabolites in a urine sample. Information regarding the second step, confirmatory testing, is provided.

Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white photograph of a patterned surface. The pattern appears to be a repeating design of dark shapes against a lighter background. The shapes are somewhat geometric, possibly triangles or similar angular forms, arranged in a grid-like fashion. The overall effect is a textured or tessellated appearance, with the contrast between the dark shapes and the light background creating a visually interesting pattern.
- Discussion of Technological Characteristics: The First Check® Home VIII. Drug Test Panel 4, like many commercially available drug screening tests, qualitatively measures the presence or absence of marijuana, cocaine, morphine/opiates, methamphetamine and/or their metabolites in urine, using a one step, rapid chromatographic immunoassay which operates under the principle of recognition and formation of specific antibody/target drug/antibody complexes. The cut-off concentration for THC is 50ng/mL. The cut-off concentration for COC is 300ng/mL. The cut-off concentration for OPI is 300ng/mL. The cut-off concentration for MET is 1,000ng/mL.
- IX. Safety and Effectiveness: Because the First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 is identical to the Applied Biotech SureStep™ Drug Screen Multi Test that is legally marketed under K972425, and because no special skills, training, education, or licensure are required to transfer a dropper level of urine sample into the test card well, there is no issue regarding the safety or effectiveness of the product to perform its intended function, i.e., to screen urine for the presence or absence of the listed drugs and their metabolites. Because the labeling of the First Check® Home Drug Test Panel 4 is substantially equivalent to a variety of rapid screening tests currently in commercial distribution, including the Phamatech QuickScreen™ At Home Drug Test, and there have been no reports of consumer inability to follow instructions or interpret results during the twenty-four months in which the product line has been purchased by the general public and used in quantities exceeding 200,000 tests, it is concluded that the product can be used effectively by the lay user.
