Intended Use
The OXY Oxycodone Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of oxycodone in urine.
Summary
Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid with a structural similarity to codeine. The drug is manufactured by modifying thebaine, an alkaloid found in the opium poppy. Oxycodone, like all opiate agonists, provides pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly directly in the affected tissues. Oxycodone is prescribed for the relief of moderate to high pain under the well-known pharmaceutical trade names of OxyContin®, Tylox®, Percodan® and Percocet®. While Tylox, Percodan and Percocet contain only small doses of oxycodone hydrochloride combined with other analgesics such as acetaminophen or aspirin, OxyContin consists solely of oxycodone hydrochloride in a time-release form. Oxycodone is known to metabolize by demethylation into oxymorphone and noroxycodone. In a 24 -hour urine, 33-61% of a single, 5mg oral dose is excreted with the primary constituents beingunchanged drug (13-19%), conjugated drug (7-29%) and conjugated oxymorphone (13-14%). Thewindow of detection for oxycodone in urine is expected to be similar to that of other opioids suchas morphine. The OXY Oxycodone Test yields a positive result when the oxycodone level in urine exceeds 100 ng/mL. At present, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)does not have a recommended screening cut-off for oxycodone positive specimens.
