FDA Product Code LCM: Enzyme Immunoassay, Phencyclidine

FDA product code LCM covers enzyme immunoassay systems for the detection of phencyclidine (PCP) in biological specimens.

These tests use antibody-based technology to screen for PCP — a dissociative hallucinogen — in urine. PCP testing is included in standard emergency toxicology panels and workplace drug screening programs due to the drug's potential for severe psychiatric and behavioral effects.

LCM devices are reviewed by the FDA Toxicology panel.
