Qualitative assay A method of analysis with two possible outcomes.

PDE5 Inhibitors For the purposes of this SMPR: PDE5 inhibitors are defined as avanafil, lodenafil carbonate, mirodenafil, sildenafill, tadalafil, udenafil, or vardenafil; or any of their analogs. Refer to the Supplemental List of Known PDE5 Inhibitors (as of July 2014) at the AOAC website (address and hyperlink to be inserted). Selectivity Study A study designed to demonstrate that a candidate method does not detect non-target compounds, and at the same time, demonstrate a candidate method’s ability to detect the different types of PDE5 inhibitors (as a minimum the target panel provided in Annex II).
