Buprenorphine Glucuronide for POC Drug of Abuse

We currently use CLIA-14-RDTC through CLIAWaived.com for Drug of Abuse testing in several ambulatory clinics for buprenorphine glucuronide. However we have been notified that the manufacturer has stopped production and will no longer be providing test cups.
Do you know of any other waived drug of abuse cups that test for the metabolite buprenorphine gluccuronide? I can find several with the parent drug, buprenorphine, but not the metabolite buprenorphine glucuronide.
Thanks!

We do not test for Buprenorphine at my institution. However, the test cup we do use -One Step Multi-Drug Screen Test Cup from Rapid Detect, Inc. – has BUP available. If you check for Analytical Specificity in the package insert, the Rapid
Detect cup cross-reacts with Buprenorphine and Buprenorphine-3-D-Glucuronide at the same concentration (10 ng/mL). Other test cups are probably the same. Check the package inserts.
We just started using the Alere iCup Dx.
