Testing Algorithm
Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Testing begins with screening tests for ethanol and drugs of abuse. Positives are confirmed and quantitated by definitive methods (gas chromatography-flame ionization detector for ethanol; gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine and metabolites, methadone, opiates, phencyclidine, and propoxyphene) at an additional charge.
An evaluation to detect the presence of adulterants will be performed and reported at no additional charge.
See Adulterant Survey Algorithm in Special Instructions.

Specimen Type
Describes the specimen type needed for testing
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 test was designed to screen for and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) the following drugs:
-Amphetamines
-Barbiturates
-Cocaine
-Ethanol
-Methadone
-Opiates
-Phencyclidine
-Propoxyphene
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
Barbiturates: 200 ng/mL
Cocaine (benzoylecgonine-cocaine metabolite): 150 ng/mL
Ethanol: 30 mg/dL
Methadone: 300 ng/mL
Opiates: 300 ng/mL
Phencyclidine: 25 ng/mL
Propoxyphene: 300 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 the serum or urine drug screens (DSS/8421 Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Serum 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 or gas chromatography-flame ionization detector.(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.
Maximum Laboratory Time
Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
