The test is very simple to use and involves a mouth swab which is used to collect the saliva sample.
TEST PROCEDURE
Allow the test Cup, specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing. Instruct the donor to not place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum or tobacco products for at least 10 minutes prior to collection.
1. Remove the collector from the sealed pouch and put the sponge top in the mouth and chew until it is soft. Actively swab the inside of the mouth and tongue to collect saliva for a total of 3-5 minutes until the sponge becomes fully saturated. Gentle pressing the sponge between the tongue and teeth will assist saturation. No hard spots should be felt on the spongewhen saturated.
2. Remove the collector from the mouth. Place saturated saliva collectorinto the test cup and screw closed fully to collect the saliva sample.
3. Place the test Cup on a clean and level surface. Remove the peel off labeland wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read drug strip results at 10 minutes. Do not read results after 1 hour. If a test strip does not appear to have the saliva running up the strip, rotate the cup to assist. See illustration below.
4. Read Alcohol strip result at Two (2) minutes. Compare the colour of thereaction pad with the chart provided separately/on foil pouch to determinethe relative saliva alcohol level.
