Instructions

Allow the test card, urine specimen, and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.

1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the cup from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.

2. Donor provides specimen and secures the cap by pressing down on all three corners.

3. Technician checks cap for tight seal. Technician dates and initials the security seal and attaches the security seal over the cup cap.

5. Peel off the label on the multi-drug test card to view results. The test is read in the reaction well.

6. The adulteration strip should be read between 2-5 minutes. Compare the colors on the adulteration strip to the color chart. If the results indicate adulteration, do not read the drug test results.

7. If results do not indicate adulteration, read the drug test result at 5 minutes. The drug test results remain stable for up to sixty minutes. See the illustration below. For detailed operation instructions, please refer to the Procedure Card and Color Chart. Download a complete instructions guide

NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One red line should be in the control region (C), and another apparent red or pink line adjacent should be in the test region (Drug/T). This negative result indicates that the drug concentration is below the detectable level.

*NOTE: The shade of red in the test line region (Drug/T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint pink line.

POSITIVE: One red line appears in the control region (C). No line appears in the test region (Drug/T). This positive result indicates that the drug concentration is above the detectable level. INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test panel. If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact your manufacturer.

pH: Tests for the presence of acidic and alkaline adulterants. Normal urine pH ranges from 4.0 to 9.0. Values below pH 4.0 or above pH 9.0 are indicative of adulteration. Specific Gravity: Tests for sample dilution. Normal levels for specific gravity will range from 1.003-1.030. Specific gravity levels of less than 1.003 or higher than 1.030 are an indication of adulteration. Oxidants: Tests for the presence of oxidants, such as bleach and peroxide, in the urine. Oxidants, when present in the urine, will produce a blue or green color.
