Test ID CDAU5 Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 5, Urine
Useful For
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, UDOA / Drug Abuse Survey, Urine is a less costly option.

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

Clinical Information
This assay was designed to screen for and confirm by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the following drugs:
-Amphetamines
-Cocaine
-Opiates
-Phencyclidine
-Tetrahydrocannabinol
This assay represents the coupling of UDOA / Drug Abuse Survey, Urine with an automatic confirmation of all positive results by the definitive assay available and described elsewhere (eg, AMPHU / Amphetamines Confirmation, Urine). All positive screening results are confirmed by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS, and quantitated, before a positive result is reported.
Reference Values
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: 50 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.
Cautions
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 / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Serum or PDSU / Drug Screen, Prescription/OTC, Urine.
For situations where chain of custody is required, a Chain-of-Custody Kit (T282) is available. See CDA5X / Drug Abuse Survey with Confirmation, Panel 5, Chain of Custody, Urine.
