Ergonomically designed for easy handling and ready for immediate use, this innovative test kit consists of one major part, a test cassette complete with oral fluid collector. Simple to operate with either the left or right hand, with or without gloves, it avoids embarrassment and eliminates any possible misinterpretation of results by ensuring that the only result visible is an accurate one. Made from a rigid, porous material with capillary properties, this non-invasive test is also hygienic to use because it inhibits contact with the sample and its components.
Minimising the risk of operator error, the test is carried out in five straightforward steps.
1. First, the protective cap is removed from the oral test collector and the test cassette is handed to the donor.
2. The donor then places the collector inside his or her mouth and, by using a sideways motion between the cheek and gum, takes an oral fluid sample.
3. As soon as sufficient fluid has been gathered, the built-in indicator will turn blue.
4. The test cassette can be handed back to the operator.
5. The operator, who will have observed the whole process, then places the test cassette and cartridge into the analyzer and awaits the result which will be clearly displayed within few minutes.
Individual samples can be easily identified by simply writing the name and date on the test cassette housing. As and when required, the Dräger DrugTest® 5000 can be used in conjunction with the Dräger DCD 5000 oral fluid collection device to provide second sampling, storage and transportation for laboratory analysis purposes.
