TEST DIRECTIONS FOR COTININE (NICOTINE) TESTS

Allow Test Device & Urine Specimen to reach room temperature (15-300C) prior to testing.

1. When ready to perform the test, remove the test device from the pouch.  Discard the small moisture absorbent packet.

2. Place the test device on a clean and level surface.  Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine to the specimen well (S) of the test device and start the timer for 5 minutes.  Avoid trapping bubbles in the specimen well (S).

3. Wait for the colored lines to appear.  The results should be read at 5 minutes.  It is important that the background is clear before the result is read.  Do not interpret the results after 10 minutes.

How to Read Results

Sample test & Results	How to Read Results

POSITIVE RESULT:  One red line appears in the Control (C) region.  No line appears in the Test (T) region. 

NEGATIVE RESULT:  Two red lines appear.  One red line should be in the Control (C) region & another red or pink line  should be in the Test (T) region.

Note:  The shade of color in the test region (T) may vary, but it should be considered negative even when there is even a faint line.

INVALID RESULT:  Control (C) line fails to appear.  Insufficient specimen  volume or Incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for the Control line failure.

LIMITATIONS:

1. The One Step test Strip provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result.  A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result.  Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) are the preferred confirmatory methods.
2. It is possible that technical or procedural errors, as well as other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.
3. A Positive Result indicates presence of the drug or its metabolites but does not indicate level of intoxication, route of administration or concentration in urine.
4. A Negative Result may not necessarily indicate drug-free urine.  Negative Results may be obtained when drug is present but below the cutoff level of the test.
