How accurate are these tests?
These tests are very accurate and the sensitivity
levels meet the U.S.A, SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration) standards and recommended levels.
There is however a possibility of false results due
to the interference of other substances in the urine. Substances that
may give a false, positive result are as follows:
- Codeine which can be found in medicines such as
Calpol and Benylin
- Morphine which can be found in Co-codamol.
These substances will give a positive result for opiates.
If carrying out the test on someone it would be advisable
to ask the person being tested if they are on any prescription drugs for
medical purposes when the test is carried out.
Drugs in the workplace
Drugs can affect the brain and the body in a number
of ways and this can affect the employee's performance at work even if
the misuse takes place outside the place of work.
As an employer you have a duty to ensure as far as
is reasonably possible that your employees are not a danger to other employees
or the general public by consuming drugs of abuse.
Legalities
If you are an employer wanting to test staff for drugs of
abuse it is important that you have a policy in place, warning staff that
they may be subject to random drug tests and that the use of drugs in
the workplace or being under the influence of drugs in the workplace is
a dismissible offence. It is also important that you keep up to date on
the latest government legislation. If one of your employees has a drug
problem you should make every effort to help them, and encourage them
to seek professional help. If drug abuse is a common problem in your work
place it may be in your interest to begin a drug awareness program for
staff and managers.
When
should I do the test?
This test can be carried out at any time.
To perform the test:
1. Carefully remove the cassette from the foil pouch
(do not break the seal on the foil pouch until you are ready to begin
the test).
2. Using a plastic cup, obtain a urine sample from
the individual who is being tested.
3. Pull the protective cap off the bottom of the
test to reveal the absorbent testing strip. Do not touch the strip and
do not throw away the protective cap.
4. Carefully dip the testing panel into the urine
sample, ensuring that the urine does not come into contact with the plastic
case of the test. Allow the test to absorb the urine for about 10-15 seconds.
You will begin to see urine moving up the strips.
5. After 15 seconds, remove the test from the urine
and replace the protective cap.
6. Lay the test on a clean flat surface while the
test lines develop.
7. You can read negative results as soon as they appear
but positive results must be read at least 5 minutes after removing from
urine. All results should be read within 10 minutes otherwise a false
reading may occur.
Results
You will see 2 letters on the drugs cassette
next to the test strip, 'C' this is the Control band and 'T' this is the
Test band. A pink coloured line should appear on the strip of the control
band (C), this confirms that the test is working properly. If no line
appears in the control band the cassette hasn’t worked properly and
you may need to do a further test.
A second pink coloured line, no matter
how faint should now appear in the test band (T), this is a negative result.
If no further line appears in the test band (T) then the individual has
tested positive for that drug of abuse.
Remember a negative result will produce
2 lines (no matter how faint) and a positive result will produce only
1 line in the control band (C).
What should I do with the results?
If you obtain a negative result then
the person tested has none of the tested drug of abuse in their body at
this time. You may want to re-test again in a month's time. If you obtain
a positive result then a drug of abuse has been detected in the urine.
You may want to do another test later, or at a further date to confirm
the result.
