Add to ORKGAbstract. There is an urgent need for accurate and inexpensive handheld instruments for the evaluation of medicine quality in the field. A blinded evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of the Counterfeit Detection Device 3 (CD-3), developed by the US Food and Drug Administration Forensic Chemistry Center, was conducted in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. Two hundred three samples of the oral antimalarial artesunate were compared with authentic products using the CD-3 by a trainer and two trainees. The specificity (95 % confidence interval [95 % CI]), sensitivity (95 % CI), positive predictive value (95%CI), and negative predictive value (95%CI) of the CD-3 for detecting counterfeit (falsified) artesunate were 100 % (93.8–100%), 98.4 % ...
