Add
three drops of urine to each of the two sample wells and read the
test result after 5
(and within 10) minutes.
A red control line coming up at the top of each window shows
that the test kit is in
working order (shelf life etc).
A red line in the drug window means that you have passed
the test for
that particular drug.
A missing line (as above for THC) is a preliminary positive test result, to be GC-MS
confirmed by a laboratory.
A vague
line is a borderline result, meaning you are close to the cut-off
level (which is to
be interpreted
negative).

There
are three main versions of drug testing kits in
use: cassettes/pipettes, cups and dip-sticks. As
there are no requirements from the Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA), and most drug testing kits
look the same, selection of drug testing kits -
for workplace and other critical use - should be
based on FDA clearances and performance studies
in order to avoid "false negative" or
"false positive" test results. In the
various - and independent - performance studies
conducted, AccuSign™ comes out top ranking in accuracy.
The most important quality of AccuSign™ is its sensitivity to
detect drugs which other panels may miss, implicating that an employee may test
negative
with other drug panels but positive with AccuSign™, which can be an unpleasant surprise for a
person arriving
at a (remote) work site employing AccuSign™. Likewise, the
costs and other consequences of having people stood down, based on a "false positive" drug screen,
speaks for itself.
If someone, after
having tested negative with AccuSign™, should
come out positive in a workplace drug test, it
is most likely that the employer is using a test
kit that is not FDA cleared and does not perform
properly.
The test kit will be sent in a plain envelope and can be expected within two working
days.
