Allow the test device, specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
Instruct the donor to not place anything in the mouth including food, drink, gum, tobacco products for at least 10
minutes prior to collection.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use
it as soon as possible.
2. Remove the collector from the sealed pouch and insert the sponge end of the collector into the mouth. Actively
swab the inside of the mouth and tongue to collect oral fluid for a total of 3 minutes until the sponge becomes fully
saturated. Gentle pressing of the sponge between the tongue and teeth will assist saturation. No hard spots should
be felt on the sponge when saturated. See illustration
1 and 2.
3. Open the collection cap then remove the saturated oral fluid collector from the mouth and place into the
collection chamber. Press sponge fully against the strainer to express as much oral fluid as possible into the
collection chamber. Discard the collector. Snap the collection cap on the collection tube tightly. See illustration 3.
4. Place the test device on a clean and level surface. Twist open the screw cap from the collection tube.* Invert the
collection tube and transfer 3 drops of oral fluid (approximately 100 µL) into each specimen well of the test
device, and start the timer. Replace screw cap on the collection tube. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen
well. See illustration 4.
*Note: When opening the screw cap, do not open the collection cap attached to the collection chamber.
5. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 10 minutes. Do not interpret results after 20 minutes.
6. Secure collection tube with security seal and send to laboratory for confirmation if necessary.
