detection of the presence of AMP and its metabolites in urine at or above the
cutoff level of 1000 ng/ml. The device is designed for professional use.
This assay provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and
professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result,
particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. To obtain a confirmed
analytical result, a more specific alternate chemical method is needed.

Amphetamine is central nervous system stimulants that produce alertness,
wakefulness, increased energy, reduced hunger, and an overall feeling of well
being. Amphetamine can be taken orally, intravenously, by smoking or by
nasal inhalation. Large doses of Amphetamine could develop tolerances and
physiological dependency and lead to its abuse. Metabolism occurs in the

SPECIMEN COLLECTIONAND STORAGE
• Urine specimen may be col ected at any time in a clean, dry container
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
• If specimen cannot be assayed immediately, they can be stored at 2-8°C

Remove the test device from the sealed pouch by tearing at the notch.
Then place the testing device on a level surface

A separate study was conducted to determine the cross-reactivity of non-Amphetamine related compounds with the test at concentrations much higher than normally found in the urine of people using or abusing them. No cross-reactivity was detected with the substances listed in Table II. Table- II Compounds tested and found not to cross-react with the test at a 1000 µg/ml concentration in urine
Interference Testing
The following conditions were found not to interfere with the test.
Accuracy
Accuracy of the “See Now” Amphetamine Urinary Test Device has been evaluated. A total of 80 clinic samples tested (40 negative and 40 positive), This study demonstrated that two assays have an overall of 96.3%.
Reproducibility
The precision was determined by replicative assays of both positive and negative urine samples with devices from three different production lots. The resultant data indicated no appreciable inter lot variation when testing both positive and negative samples across three different lots of devices.
