The LZI Opiate 2000 Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of morphine in human urine at a cutoff value of 2000 ng/mL. The assay is designated for professional use with a number of automated clinical chemistry analyzers. The semi-quantitative mode in for purpose of (1) enabling laboratories to determine an appropriate dilution for the specimen for confirmation by a confirmatory method such as GC/MS and LC/MS or (2) permitting laboratories to establish quality control procedures. LZI Opiate 2000 Enzyme Calibrators are for use as calibrators in the qualitative and semi-quantitative calibrations of the LZI Opiate 2000 Immunoassay at a cut off value of 2000 ng/mL. LZI Opiate 2000 Enzyme Controls are for use as assayed quality control material to monitor the precision of the LZI Opiate 2000 Immunoassay at a cut off value of 2000 ng/mL. The assay provides only preliminary analytical result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS or LC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary test result is positive.
Device Story
Homogeneous enzyme immunoassay for morphine detection in human urine; utilizes two liquid reagents (R1: anti-morphine antibody, NAD; R2: morphine-labeled G6PDH). Principle: competitive binding between sample drug and enzyme-labeled drug for fixed antibody; enzyme activity inhibited when bound to antibody; free drug in sample displaces labeled drug, increasing enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts NAD to NADH, measured spectrophotometrically at 340nm. Used in clinical laboratories by professional staff on automated analyzers (e.g., Hitachi 717). Output is qualitative (positive/negative) or semi-quantitative (concentration estimate). Results assist in identifying specimens requiring confirmatory testing via GC/MS or LC/MS. Benefits include rapid screening for morphine presence to guide clinical decision-making and laboratory quality control.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Precision evaluated with 88 determinations per concentration level. Method comparison performed on 150 clinical samples; semi-quantitative agreement: 96.49% positive, 93.55% negative; qualitative agreement: 96.49% positive, 96.77% negative. Linearity established from 0-6000 ng/mL (r2=0.993).
Indicated for qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of morphine in human urine at 2000 ng/mL cutoff. For professional use on automated clinical chemistry analyzers. Provides preliminary results requiring confirmation by GC/MS or LC/MS.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An opiate test system is a device intended to measure any of the addictive narcotic pain-relieving opiate drugs in blood, serum, urine, gastric contents, and saliva. An opiate is any natural or synthetic drug that has morphine-like pharmocological actions. The opiates include drugs such as morphine, morphine glucoronide, heroin, codeine, nalorphine, and meperedine. Measurements obtained by this device are used in the diagnosis and treatment of opiate use or overdose and in monitoring the levels of opiate administration to ensure appropriate therapy.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An opiate 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).

# K. Standard/Guidance Document Referenced (if applicable):
CLSI Evaluation Protocols: EP5-A Evaluation of precision performance of clinical chemistry devices.
# L. Test Principle:
The LZI Opiate 2000 Immunoassay is based on competition between drug in the sample and the drug labeled with the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) for a fixed amount of antibody in the reagent. Enzyme activity decreases upon binding to the antibody, and the drug concentration in the sample is measured in terms of enzyme activity. In the absence of the drug in the sample, morphine-labeled G6PDH conjugate is bound to the antibody, and the enzyme activity is inhibited. When free drug is present in the sample, the antibody binds to the free drug; the unbound morphine-labeled G6PDH then exhibits maximal enzyme activity. Active enzyme converts nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) to NADH, resulting in an absorbance change that can be measured spectrophotometrically at $340\mathrm{nm}$ .

b. Linearity/assay reportable range:
Linearity across the range was confirmed by using a morphine standard obtained from a commercial vendor and diluted several times using a pool of processed negative urine to create a stock solution with a concentration 6000 ng/mL of morphine. This stock was then diluted into twelve levels as presented in the table below. Each sample was tested in replicates of 10 on the Hitachi 717 analyzer.
| % Dilution | Expected Concentration (ng/mL) | Observed Concentration (ng/mL) | % Recovery |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 100 | 6000 | 6811.48 | 113.5 |

| 0 | 0 | 80.72 | not applicable |
c. Traceability, Stability, Expected values (controls, calibrators, or methods):
Five levels of calibrators (0, 1000, 2000, 4000 and 6000 ng/mL) and two levels of control material (1500 and 2500 ng/mL) are available for use with the LZI Opiate 2000 Immunoassay. A commercially available morphine standard solution is used and traceable to NIST standard. This standard solution is made into a secondary (lower concentration) stock solution. The secondary stock solution is then spiked into the calibrators and controls to the desired concentration. The concentrations are confirmed by GC/MS.
Stability Studies:
Accelerated and long term studies for both controls and calibrators have been conducted. Protocols and acceptance criteria were described and found to be acceptable. The manufacturer claims the following expiration date for both controls and calibrators:
When stored at 2-8 °C unopened or opened product is stable until expiration date which is 18 months.

d. Detection limit:
Performance at low drug concentrations in the semi-quantitative assay was characterized by determination of recovery (see section b above).
e. Analytical specificity:
Cross-reactivity was established for the qualitative and semi-quantitative mode by spiking various concentrations of each substance into drug-free urine and then calibrated with the assay's calibrated dose-response curve. Results are expressed as a minimum concentration of metabolite or compound required to produce a response approximately equivalent to the cutoff concentration of the assay. The percent cross-reactivity of those compounds is presented below:

## pH and Specific Gravity
To test for possible positive and/or negative interference from pH urine samples having pH from 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 were used. Each of these samples were spiked with commercially available standard to -25% of the cutoff and +25% of the cutoff and evaluated against the assay's calibration curve. No positive or negative interference due to pH was observed.
