CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Drug overdose deaths with fentanyl involved have increased 50% over the last 4 years in the US

Sedative hypnotic medications can be very dangerous in combination with opioids/benzodiazepines/barbiturates/etc

Without testing for the urinary metabolite of buprenorphine, it is di!cult to truly monitor medication compliance

Prescription stimulants are highly diverted and place practitioners at risk when clinical monitoring is absent or inadequate

These dangerous illicit substances have inconsistent and unpredictable e"ects, and are becoming increasingly abused due to practitioners frequently excluding them from clinical monitoring

CNS depressant skeletal muscle relaxants are dangerous in combination with other medications and should be provided with clinical monitoring

Psychotherapeutic medications are not taken reliably in some patient populations and can have signi#cant e"ects when not taken as prescribed, appropriate clinical monitoring is warranted

How can you be mislead with POC results?

Point-of-care tests do not provide a complete analysis of drugs in a patient’s system, therefore they can’t be counted on for 100% accuracy and often produce a false positive or false negative result.

I no longer use point-of-care cups because they are unreliable. I received too many false positives and negatives, and I was missing one of the major commonly abused drugs such as Tramadol, Fentanyl, and Soma.

Can you depend on a screen?

Detecting drug classes is an important step of testing. EIA screening is a testing method that produces qualitative results.

Limitations to only using EIA screening*:

•Cannot detect presence of specific compounds. •Cannot provide quantitative concentrations. •Results are affected by other medications or adulterations. •Occurrence of False Positive/False Negative can be as high as 30%.

Benefits of confirmation testing:

•LC-MS/MS technology is set with the industry’s most precise detection levels to ensure the highest sensitivity. •Individual testing options •70+ compounds tested in urine and oral fluid. •Accurate results enable physicians to determine true patient compliance. •Turnaround time: Less than two days.
