Test ID: CDAU5
Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 5, Urine

NY State Approved Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.

Yes

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Detecting drug abuse involving amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, opiates, and phencyclidine

 

This test is intended to be used in a setting where the test results can be used definitively to make a diagnosis.

 

Some drug treatment programs do not require confirmatory testing of screen-positive specimens. In those settings, IDOAU/8248 Drug Abuse Survey, Urine is a less costly option.

Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)

Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Testing begins with immunoassay screen. Positives are confirmed and quantitated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry at an additional charge.

 

An evaluation to detect the presence of adulterants will be performed and reported at no additional charge.

Specimen Type Describes the specimen type needed for testing

Urine

Specimen Required Defines the optimal specimen. This field describes the type of specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing. The volume allows automated processing, fastest throughput and, when indicated, repeat or reflex testing.

Collection Container/Tube: Plastic urine container

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle

Specimen Volume: 30 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Collect a random urine specimen.

2. Submit 30 mL in 1 plastic bottle.

3. No preservative.

Additional Information:

1. No specimen substitutions.

2. No STATS are accepted for this procedure.

3. For situations where chain-of-custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (Supply T282) is available. For chain-of-custody information, see COCH/9426 Chain-of-Custody Processing.

4. Additional drug panels and specific requests are available. Call Mayo Medical Laboratories at 800-533-1710 or 507-266-5700.

Specimen Minimum Volume Defines the amount of specimen required to perform an assay once, including instrument and container dead space. Submitting the minimum specimen volume makes it impossible to repeat the test or perform confirmatory or perform reflex testing. In some situations, a minimum specimen volume may result in a QNS (quantity not sufficient) result, requiring a second specimen to be collected.

Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

This assay was designed to screen for and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) the following drugs:

 

-Amphetamines

-Cocaine

-Opiates

-Phencyclidine

-Tetrahydrocannabinol

 

This assay represents the coupling of IDOAU/8248 Drug Abuse Survey, Urine with an automatic confirmation of all positive results by the definitive assay available and described elsewhere (eg, AMPHU/8257 Amphetamines, Urine). All positive screening results are confirmed by GC-MS or GC-FID, and quantitated, before a positive result is reported.

Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Negative

Screening cutoff concentrations

Amphetamines: 500 ng/mL

Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL

Opiates: 300 ng/mL

Phencyclidine: 25 ng/mL

Tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid: 20 ng/mL

This report is intended for use in clinical monitoring or management of patients. It is not intended for use in employment-related testing.

Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

A positive result indicates that the patient has used the drugs detected in the recent past. See individual tests (eg, AMPHU/8257 Amphetamines, Urine) for more information.

 

For information about drug testing, including estimated detection times, see Drugs of Abuse Testing at http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/articles/drug-book/index.html

 

Creatinine and specific gravity are measured as indicators of specimen dilution.

Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Not intended for use in employment-related testing.

 

The test does not screen for drug classes other than those listed above. More comprehensive screening is available using DSS/8421 Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Plasma or PDSU/88760 Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Urine.

 

For situations where chain-of-custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (Supply T282) is available. See COCH/9426 Chain-of-Custody-Processing.

Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Drug classes are screened by an immunoassay technique. All positive screening results are confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.(Armbruster DA, Schwarzhoff RH, Hubster EC, Liserio MK: Enzyme immunoassay, kinetic microparticle immunoassay, radioimmunoassay, and fluorescence polarization immunoassay compared for drugs-of-abuse screening.

Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.

Monday through Sunday

Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.

Same day/1 day

Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result

2 days

Specimen Retention Time Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

2 weeks

Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test

Rochester
