PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

  1. Sensitivity. The DrugCheck 5 TM detects drugs of abuse and their major metabolites in urine at concentrations equal to or greater than the cut-off level for the specific drug, which is suggested by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the immunoassay method.
  2. Specificity. A study was conducted with the DrugCheck 5 to determine the cross-reactivity of drug-related compounds with the test. Substances listed in Table I produced results approximately equivalent to the cutoff levels. A separate study was conducted to determine the cross-reactivity of non-related compounds with the test at concentrations much higher than normally found in the urine of people using or abusing them. No cross reactivity was detected with the substances listed in Table II.
