Saliva Drug Test – Oral Swabs (10 panels)

Additional information

Instructions

Food, drink, gum, tobacco, and all other substances should avoid at least 10 minutes prior to conducting the oral swab test. Ensure the swab is brought to room temperature before use. Collection stick and test tube should be kept in their protective packaging until the operator is ready to perform the test.

The sponge end of the collection stick is used to collect the human saliva from the inner cheek. Insert the sponge end into the mouth for between 3 and 5 minutes. Ensure the swab is soaked in saliva for accurate testing results. If the collected amount is not adequate for testing, collect additional saliva using a new collection stick.

Holding the collection stick vertically, insert it into the test tube. Placing the groove of the collection stick into the guide rail of the test tube for a proper seal. Close the test tube by pressing down the lid.

The test tube should be kept in a vertical position. Results can be read after ten minutes of closing the lid of the test tube. Results should not interpreted after one hour.

Interpreting Results

If the specimen contains more than the predetermined cutoff levels, the result is positive for the corresponding drug of that testing zone. This is indicated by one colored band in the control region. One colored band in the appropriate test region. Positive results should sent to a toxicology laboratory for confirmation.

A negative result is indicated by a colored band in each control region. A colored band in the appropriate test region. A negative result indicates that the specimen does not reach the cutoff levels for the drug of that testing zone.

If no colored band appears in the control indicator of the saliva test, the result is invalid. The test must be performed again. If the problem persists, you may contact your local distributor.

Forensic Use

What is Forensic use only?

Forensic Use Only devices are meant to be sold for research purposes only. The FDA does not regulate these devices, and they are solely to be used as screening instruments. Please send the device to a laboratory for confirmation if more information is needed about the results of a forensic use only drug test.

Courts, police departments, probation/parole offices, juvenile detention centers, prisons, jails, correction centers, and other law enforcement organizations, as well as laboratories or other establishments that provide forensic testing for these institutions, are all eligible users.

Forensic Applications Only gadgets are not designed, tested, manufactured, or labeled for use in other settings such as clinical diagnostics or the workplace.

What does it mean when something says “For Forensic Use Only”?

This indicates that the drug testing gadget has not received FDA 510k approval. This type of drug test should not be used for job screening, pain management screening, or any other reason. These tests are only used in law enforcement, prisons, the military, and other government institutions to test for drugs.

What products are included in this category?

Some saliva/oral drug detection products are only meant to be used in forensic situations. Furthermore, some specialty tests (such as our K2/Spice drug test) are designed exclusively for forensic use. This category could possibly include other screening equipment. Any forensic-only equipment on our site will be explicitly stated on the product page.
