QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. What does the T-Cup® Compact Multi-Drug Urine Test Cup do?
These tests indicate if one or more prescription or illegal drugs are present in urine. These tests detect the presence of drugs such as amphetamines, barbiturates, oxazepam, buprenorphine, cocaine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, marijuana, methamphetamines, methadone, morphine, opiates, oxycodone, phencyclidine, propoxyphene and tricyclic antidepressants.
The testing is done in two steps. First, you do a quick at-home test. Second, if the test suggests that drugs may be present, you send the sample to a laboratory for additional testing.
2. What is “cut-off level”?
The cut-off level is the specified concentration of a drug in a urine sample. Above that concentration the test is called positive, and below that concentration it is called negative.
3. What are drugs of abuse?
Drugs of abuse are illegal or prescription medicines (for example, Oxycodone or Valium) that are taken for a non-medical purpose, including taking the medication for longer than your doctor prescribed it for or for a purpose other than what the doctor prescribed it for.
4. What are the Common Street Names for the Drugs to be detected?
Barbs, Phennies, Birds, Reds, Blues, Yellows, Yellow jackets, Tooies, Christmas trees, Goof balls, Pinks, Red devils, Barbs, Block busters
5. How accurate is the test?
The tests are sensitive to drugs and are accurate. These tests, however, are not as accurate as lab tests. In some cases, certain foods and drugs may cause false positives as well as false negatives for those who use drug-testing kits.
6. If the test results are negative, can the conclusion be that the person is free of drugs?
This means that if the sample was collected properly and if the test was performed according to direction, then probably none of the drug screened were present in the sample.
7. Does a preliminary positive screen test mean that drugs of abuse have been found?
This means that the test has reacted with something in the sample and the sample should be sent to the lab for a more accurate test.
8. What should I do, if the lab test confirms a positive result?
If you have received a confirmed positive result, please consult with our staff on a proper course of action. We will help you identify counselors who can help you. It is important that you remain calm and do not react in a negative way to the situation. If you do not believe the test result, please consult with your physician. They will have your background medical history and be able to provide you with detailed information on both the test and the meaning of the result. We recommend GC/MS/LC laboratory confirmation.
