Ora-Check Complete 6 Drug Screen Device Using an immunoassay cutoff level of 40 ng/mL, codeine can be detected in the oral fluid within 1 hour following a single oral dose and can remain detectable for 7-21 hours after the dose2. Heroin metabolite Package Insert for the AMP/MET/COC/OPI/THC/BZO Materials Provided 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM) is found more prevalently in excreted unmetabolized, and is also the • Test devices • Package insert Test for Oral Fluids major metabolic product of codeine and heroin. A rapid, screening test for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, THC ,BZO and their metabolites in human oral fluid. For Forensic Use Only The opiates assay contained within the Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device yields a positive result when the DIRECTIONS FOR USE opiates concentration in oral fluid exceeds 40 ng/mL. Allow the test device, specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing. Instruct the donor to not place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection. The Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device for AMP/MET/COC/OPI/THC/BZO is a lateral flow chromatographic Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in the marijuana plant (cannabis sativa), is detectable 1. Specimen Collection immunoassay for the qualitative detection of amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, opiates, THC, in oral fluid shortly after use. The detection of the drug is thought to be primarily due to the direct 2. Using the provided oral fluid swab, sweep the inside of the mouth for 3 minutes.

Test Procedure of up to 14 hours after drug use.3 4. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the test with Amphetamine (MAMP) patient or control identification. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.

Benzodiazepines are also method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass used as sedatives before some surgical and medical procedures, and for the treatment of seizure spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) are the disorders and alcohol withdrawal. preferred confirmatory methods. Professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated. The Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device for AMP/MET/COC/OPI/THC/BZO is an immunoassay based on the The Oral Fluid Drug Screen Device for AMP/MET/COC/OPI/THC/BZO and their metabolites is a rapid, oral principle of competitive binding. Drugs that may be present in the oral fluid specimen compete against fluid screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes monoclonal their respective drug conjugate for binding sites on their specific antibody. antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of specific drugs in human oral fluid. During testing, a portion of the oral fluid specimen migrates upward by capillary action. A drug, if Amphetamine (AMP) present in the oral fluid specimen below its cut-off concentration, will not saturate the binding sites of its INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS specific antibody. The antibody will then react with the drug-protein conjugate and a visible colored line Amphetamine is a sympathomimetic amine with therapeutic indications.

Depending on the route of administration, concentration in the oral fluid specimen will saturate all the binding sites of the antibody. Therefore, the NEGATIVE:* Two lines appear. One colored line should be in the control region (C), and another amphetamine can be detected in oral fluid as early as 5-10 minutes following use1.
