What is it indicated for?

The Pointe Scientific Cocaine Metabolite Enzyme Immunoassay is intended for the qualitative determination of benzoylecgonine (a cocaine metabolite) in human urine at a cutoff value of 150 ng/mL. Rx only.

This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas or Liquid Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be exercised with any drug of abuse test result, particularly when the preliminary result is positive.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
