Intended use
Multi DOA Screen Panel are rapid chromatographic immunoassays for the qualitative and simultaneous detection of one to fourteen of the following drugs in a variety of combinations in human urine. The test is used to obtain visual qualitative result and is intended for health care professionals use including professionals at point of care sites to assist in the determination of drug compliance. It is not intended for over the counter sale to non-professionals.
This assay provided only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternative chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
Summary and Explanation
Urine based screening tests for drugs of abuse range from simple immunoassay tests to complex analytical procedures. The speed and sensitivity of immunoassays have made them the most widely accepted method for screening urine for drugs of abuse. The DOA Panels are based on the principle of the highly specific immunochemical reactions of antigens and antibodies, which are used for the analysis of specific compounds in human urine.
The DOA Screen Panels are rapid, visual, competitive panel immunoassay that can be used for the simultaneous, qualitative detection of 11-nor-δ -9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid, Benzoylecgonine, Phencyclidine, Morphine, Methadone, Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, Barbiturates, Oxazepam, Nortriptyline, MDMA, Ketamine, Buprenorphine-3-D-Glucuronide, Tramadol and EDDP in urine. The length of time following drug use for which a positive result may occur is dependent upon several factors including the frequency and amount of drug, metabolic rate, excretion rate, drug half-life, and the drug user’s age, weight, activity and diet.
