DOA TRA One Step Tramadol Test with CE certificate urine Test Device

One Step Tramadol Test is a rapid one step test for the qualitative detection of tramadol and its principal metabolites in human urine at specified cut-off level.
For in vitro diagnostic use only. For professional use only.

INTENDED USE

The One Step Tramadol Test is a lateral flow chromatographic immunoassay for the detection of Tramadol in human urine at the cut-off concentration of 100 ng/ml. This assay provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary results are positive.

Device:

• Remove a testing device from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch and place it on a level surface.
• Holding a sample dropper vertically, add exactly four drops of the urine specimen to the sample well.
• Read results at 5 minutes. Do not read after 10 minutes.

Strip:

• Remove the test strip from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
• With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test strip vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip when immersing the strip.
• Place the test strip on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and wait for the red line(s) to appear.
• The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.

SUMMARY

Tramadol is used similarly to codeine, to treat moderate to moderately severe pain. It is a synthetic analog of the phenanthrene alkaloid codeine and, as such, is an opioid and also a prodrug (codeine is metabolized to morphine, tramadol is converted to O-desmethyltramadol). Tramadol and its metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine with observed plasma half-lives of 6.3 and 7.4 hours for tramadol and O-desmethyltramadol(denoted M1), respectively. Approximately 30% of the dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug, whereas 60% of the dose is excreted as metabolites.
