Workplace drug & alcohol testing by any method requires due diligence. Integrated OH&S can ensure you are conducting workplace drug & alcohol testing in the best suited manner for your company while optimizing the benefits of oral fluid testing technologies.
Oral fluid testing technologies are going to become the gold standard for all workplace drug & alcohol testing. The less invasive nature of oral fluid POCT sample collection creates obvious benefits like ease-of-use, instant results and avoids any dignity or gender issues. Beyond these obvious and convenient benefits, the most important benefits address the serious problems and voids in traditional testing practices. Specifically, oral fluid addresses and detects for "recent-use" and does not have the adulteration/sample substitution issues that urine-testing experiences.
Integrated OH&S exclusively provides the OraPoint™. The OraPoint™ is the premium oral fluid POCT device on the market today. It sets the industry standard for performance, quality, ease-of-use and dependability. Its advantages include:
- Screens for "RECENT USE" (as illustrated in Figure 1)
- Screens for today's most abused illicit drugs (see Technical Information)
- Has NO known adulterates or substitutes
- Delivers results in minutes
- Is less invasive than tradition testing methods
- Has no gender or dignity issues
- Has complete and integral confirmatory testing at certified laboratories
- Has simple, complete and inexpensive training for administrators
Even though these benefits are claimed to be common to oral fluid POCT devices, individual oral fluid POCT device performance varies dramatically. Our research indicated that over 85% of all oral fluid POCT devices do not perform to advertised levels, and in many cases did not detect specific drug classes at all.
