INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

---

Negative Result NEGATIVE: Two colored bands appear on the membrane. One band appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the test region (T). Certain lines may appear lighter or thinner than other lines. A line is to be considered a line whether it is faint, light or dark. *NOTE: The shade of red in the test line region (Drug/T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint pink line.
Preliminary Positive Result: POSITIVE: Only one colored band appears, in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T).
Invalid Result: INVALID: Control band fails to appear. Results from any test which has not produced a control band at the specific read time must be discarded. Please review the procedure and repeat with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the kit immediately and contact your local distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions About PreScreen Plus 5 Panel Drug Test Cup (CLIA Waived)

The drug line is lighter than the control line. Does it mean the drug is present in the urine when using a 5-panel drug test cup?

No. When using a 5-panel drug test cup, the drug line may be darker or lighter than the control line. The line intensities of different drugs will vary for many reasons. No matter how faint the drug line appears on the test strip, it is considered a negative result. No further testing is required.

What does a Negative Result mean on a 5-panel urine drug test cup?

If you get a negative result on a 5-panel urine drug test cup, the sample did not contain the drug being tested for. No further testing is required. However, it is possible to get a negative result even if a person has taken drugs. Some reasons why this might happen are:

• The urine sample was collected at the wrong time. It may have been collected before the drug entered the urine or after it was no longer detectable.

• The person took a drug not included in this five-panel drug test cup; for example, they might have taken LSD, which is not part of a standard panel.

What does an Invalid Result mean on the PreScreen Plus 5 panel drug test cup?

If any of the strips do not show a control line on the PreScreen Plus 5-panel drug test cup, the result is invalid. We recommend re-testing using another easy at-home 5-panel drug test cup or contacting our toll-free help line at 1-866-465-2855 for technical assistance.

When is the best time to take the test?

The drug test can be used at any time of day. Approximate detection times using each drug are listed in the following table:

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency (SAMHSA) has set cutoff levels when testing for marijuana, cocaine, amphetamine, opiates, PCP, Ecstasy, and methamphetamine. Screening tests may not detect drug amounts in a urine sample below the cutoff level. Even if some drug is present in a urine sample, the sample would be considered negative if the drug level is below the cutoff level.

How much urine do I need?

The Drug Tests In Bulk PreScreen Plus Test (CLIA Waived) requires just 30 ml of urine. Fill the collection cup to the minimum fill line on the side. This is enough urine for the initial test and confirmation testing if needed.

Do I have to wait the full 5 minutes before reading the test?

Yes, we recommend that you wait the full 5 minutes before reading the result.

Are there any factors that could affect the drug testing result?
