## Indications for Use

The ACON Spectrum Multi-Drug Multi-Line Drug Screen Test Card and ACON Spectrum Multi-Drug Multi-Line Drug Screen Test Card with three types of Integrated Cups (ACON 006 Cup or RediCup, ACON 008 Cup or iCup, and ACON 009 Cup or E-Z Split Key Cup) are rapid chromatographic immunoassays for the qualitative and simultaneous detection of Marijuana, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, Opiates. Phencyclidine, Benzodiazepine, Methadone, Barbiturate, Tricyclic Antidepressants and Methylenedioxymethamphetamine in human urine. These assay systems can only provide a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, especially when preliminary positive results are indicated. They are only intended for healthcare professionals including professionals at point of care sites.

## Device Story

Rapid chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of drugs of abuse in human urine. Device uses competitive binding, lateral flow technology on test cards or integrated cups. Input: human urine specimen. Principle: drug-specific antibodies compete with drug in sample for binding sites; absence of colored line in test region indicates positive result; presence of line indicates negative result or concentration below cutoff. Procedural control line confirms proper wicking. Used at point-of-care by healthcare professionals. Output: visual qualitative result (line/no line). Assists clinicians in preliminary screening; requires confirmatory testing for clinical decision-making.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Multi-drug test strips combined into collection/application cups (Redi-Cup, iCup). Reagents and antibodies consistent with previously cleared devices. Supports up to 12 drug analytes per device. Qualitative visual readout.

## Regulatory 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).

SPECIAL 510(k): Device Modification ODE Review Memorandum

To: THE FILE

RE: DOCUMENT NUMBER K 031759

This 510(k) submission contains information/data on modifications made to the SUBMITTER'S own Class II, Class III or Class I devices requiring 510(k). The following items are present and acceptable (delete/add items as necessary):

1. The name and 510(k) number of the SUBMITTER'S previously cleared device. (For a preamendments device, a statement to this effect has been provided.)
2. Submitter's statement that the INDICATION/INTENDED USE of the modified device as described in its labeling HAS NOT CHANGED along with the proposed labeling which includes instructions for use, package labeling, and, if available, advertisements or promotional materials.
3. A description of the device MODIFICATION(S), including clearly labeled diagrams, engineering drawings, photographs, user's and/or service manuals in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the FUNDAMENTAL SCIENTIFIC TECHNOLOGY of the modified device has not changed.

This change was for combining previously cleared strips and incorporating them into new collection/sample application devices.

4. Comparison Information (similarities and differences) to applicant's legally marketed predicate device including, labeling, intended use, physical characteristics, Reagents and antibodies on the strips are similar to previously cleared devices. Strips are combined to include up to 12 drugs on a device. The devices also incorporate new collection/application cups, including the Redi-Cup and iCup.
5. A Design Control Activities Summary which includes:

a) Identification of Risk Analysis method(s) used to assess the impact of the modification on the device and its components, and the results of the analysis
b) Based on the Risk Analysis, an identification of the verification and/or validation activities required, including methods or tests used and acceptance criteria to be applied
c) A declaration of conformity with design controls. The declaration of conformity should include:

i) A statement signed by the individual responsible, that, as required by the risk analysis, all verification and validation activities were performed by the designated individual(s) and the results demonstrated that the predetermined acceptance criteria were met, and
ii) A statement signed by the individual responsible, that the manufacturing facility is in conformance with design control procedure requirements as specified in 21 CFR 820.30 and the records are available for review.

6. A Truthful and Accurate Statement, a 510(k) Summary or Statement and the Indications for Use Enclosure (and Class III Summary for Class III devices).

The labeling for this modified subject device has been reviewed to verify that the indication/intended use for the device is unaffected by the modification. In addition, the submitter's description of the particular modification(s) and the comparative information between the modified and unmodified devices demonstrate that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed. The submitter has provided the design control information as specified in The New 510(k) Paradigm and on this basis, I recommend the device be determined substantially equivalent to the previously cleared (or their preamendment) device.
