<p class="h4_text" id="any_tests_510k_cleared">Are any of your drug testing kits FDA 510k cleared?</p>
<p>Just about all our Employee Drug Testing Kits are FDA 510k cleared. All products that are FDA 510k Cleared are clearly indentified under the Feature and Benefits Section of the product page.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="bio_hazardous">Are employment drug testing kits bio-hazardous?</p>
<p>No, employment drug test kits are not bio-hazardous. Urine is not considered bio-hazardous unless it contains blood.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="cross_reaction">Are there any cross-reactions?</p>
<p>It is possible in drug testing for false positive results to occur. A more specific method such as <abbr title="Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry">GC/MS</abbr>(Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry) must be used in order to obtain a confirmed result. Consult your chosen lab for a list of substances that may possibly produce false positive screening results.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="cheat_false_negative">Are there products that can be used in the tests to give a false negative on a drug test? What can be done to avoid this?</p>
<p>Although there are only a small handful of products that can be used to change the result of an impending drug test, there are validity screens available which can detect these adulterants. Some are integrated into the tests, such as the iCup® <abbr title="Adulteration">AD</abbr>, which has built-in adulteration available, and we also have individual adulteration strips. See <a href="/resources/drug-testing-and-screening-cheat-protection-information">Cheat Protection</a> for more information.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="photocopy_results">Can I photocopy the results of a drug test for my files?</p>
<p>All of our drug testing kits offer this option. This may be an important factor when it is necessary to maintain <a href="/resources/glossary/define-chain-of-custody-coc">Chain of Custody (<abbr title="Chain of Custody">CoC</abbr>)</a>.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="need_refrigeration">Do drug screening kits need refrigeration?</p>
<p>No. Employee drug test kits should be stored at 36-86 <abbr title="Fahrenheit">F</abbr> They are effective until their expiration date.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="hold_up_in_court">Do drug test results hold up in court?</p>
<p>Positive instant employee drug tests should only be used to attain preliminary results that allow for quick screening of positives from negatives. To stand up in a court of law, instant drug tests need to be sent to a certified laboratory for <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/resources/drug-testing-confirmation-and-mro-services">Confirmation</a> or <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/order-confirmation-and-confirmation-with-mro/">Confirmation with Medical Review Officer Services</a>. Other options include performing a new drug test using a <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/mobile-onsite-offsite-alcohol-drug-testing-screening-services/">certified third party onsite collection service</a> or utilizing a <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/mobile-onsite-offsite-alcohol-drug-testing-screening-services/">certified offsite employee drug testing service</a>.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="accept_credit_cards">Do you accept payment by credit card for your drug testing kits?</p>
<p>Yes. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="confirm_non_negative">Do you have to confirm a non-negative result on a drug test? If so, how is this done?</p>
<p>We strongly recommend that a <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/resources/glossary/define-substance-abuse-and-mental-health-services-administration-samhsa"><abbr title="Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration">SAMHSA</abbr></a> certified laboratory confirm all positive drug test results. Please <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/contact-us/">Contact Us</a> directly for assistance.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="biohazard_bag">Does the drug testing kit need to be disposed of in any special way, such as a biohazard bag?</p>
<p>Urine and oral drug screens do not pose a biohazard risk and can be disposed of in regular waste receptacles.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="accuracy">How accurate are your drug testing kits?</p>
<p>Our instant employee drug testing kits are near laboratory accurate. However, to hold up in a court of law you will need to get Confirmation, Confirmation with <abbr title="Medical Review Officer">MRO</abbr> purchase onsite collection, or offsite employee drug testing services.</p>

<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="onsite_positive_result">If I receive a positive drug test result with On-site Drug Testing, what should I do?</p>
<p><a href="https://drugtestingace.com/resources/drug-testing-confirmation-and-mro-services">Confirmation Drug Testing Services</a> or <a href="https://drugtestingace.com/order-confirmation-and-confirmation-with-mro/">Confirmation with Medical Review Officer (MRO) Services</a> is necessary to validate a positive test within a <abbr title="Department of Transportation">DOT</abbr> certified program or to be legal in a court of law in Non-DOTemployee drug testing programs.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="onsite_pos_confirmation_neg">Is it possible that the employment drug test is positive in On-Site Drug Testing, but the laboratory test is negative?</p>
<p>Yes. There may be medical reasons why a employee drug test will show positive. The certified laboratory will then do a more detailed drug test to determine the specific substance and either confirm it or record is as a &#8220;false positive&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="icup_cheat">Is it possible to cheat the iCup® AD drug test kit by substituting or adulterating the specimen?</p>
<p>No. The iCup® A.D. drug test kit contains a <a href="/resources/glossary/define-specimen-validity-test-svt">Specimen Validity Test (<abbr title="Specimen Validity Test">SVT</abbr></a> strip that verifies the validity of a drug test specimen. The SVT strip checks for oxidants, specific gravity and pHin the specimen. For example, if someone tries to substitute water for urine, the specific gravity indicator will show an abnormal reading. See <a href="/resources/drug-testing-and-screening-cheat-protection-information">Cheat Protection</a> for more information.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="storage">Is there any specific way the drug testing kits need to be stored? Do the drug testing kits have to be refrigerated?</p>
<p>All drug testing kits can be stored at room temperature up to the date of expiration printed on the individual foil pouch. They cannot be stored in extreme heat or cold and must remain sealed in the foil pouch until use.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="training_required">Is there specific training required to administer these drug tests?</p>
<p>There is no official training required to administer our employee drug tests. We provide procedure cards and drug test interpretation quizzes free of charge. These instructional materials help you to administer, interpret and if necessary, package a positive result for Confirmation testing. Please view the <a href="/resources/library" title="Employee Drug Testing Documents">Library</a> or the documents on the bottom of every product page for more information.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>
<p class="h4_text" id="saliva_urine">What are the differences between oral fluid drug tests and urine drug tests?</p>
<p>An oral fluid drug test (saliva drug test) involves the use of a swab to collect saliva in the mouth and gums. An oral fluid drug test could also involve spitting into a receptacle. The drug or alcohol test does not require a restroom and the testing procedure can be administered right at your location. A urine drug test comes in a variety of formats, such as dips, pipettes, and cups. The iCup® AD, for example, has built-in adulteration tests available to check the validity of a urine sample.</p>
<p><a href="#faq_top">Back to Top</a></p>

<p class="h4_text" id="meaning_510k_cleared">What does it mean for a drug testing kit to have FDA 510k Clearance or be FDA 510k Cleared (Federal Drug Administration)?</p>
<p>The <abbr title="United States">U.S.</abbr> FDA (Federal Drug Administration) regulates food, drugs and medical devices through stringent clinical trials to verify their safety, purity and effectiveness, among other things. FDA 510k Cleared means that the drug testing kit meets these rigorous standards. It is against the law for any product or service to claim it is FDA-approved if it does not have their compliance.</p>
