Cancelled Test. A drug or alcohol test that has a problem identified that cannot be or has not been corrected, or which this part otherwise requires to be cancelled. A cancelled test is neither a positive nor a negative test.
Cancelled Test. The MRO will cancel the testing of a donor’s urine specimen and report that action to the licensee or other entity after the testing laboratory (i.e., licensee testing facility (LTF) or HHS-certified laboratory) reports that the specimen was rejected for testing or the donor requested additional testing of a specimen at a second HHS-certified laboratory under § 26.165(b) and the specimen was not available for testing due to circumstances outside of the donor’s control (e.g., specimen is lost in transit). Sections 26.129(b)(2) and 26.159(b)(2) describe the only circumstances requiring an MRO to ‘‘cancel the testing of a donor’s urine specimen.’’ However, §§ 26.129(b)(2) and 26.159(b)(2) do not use the term cancelled test, nor is the term defined under § 26.5. Adding the definition for cancelled test and updating §§ 26.129(b)(2) and 26.159(b)(2) to specifically use that term would clarify the actions taken by an MRO and improve consistency between 10 CFR part 26 and the 2008 HHS Guidelines. The NRC is also proposing to add the term cancelled test to § 26.165(f)(1) and (f)(2) to clarify the actions taken by an MRO when a specimen is rejected for testing by the laboratory and the MRO cancels the testing of the specimen. For completeness, a cancelled test for alcohol breath testing is also defined. The definition presented by the NRC staff at the October 11, 2011, public meeting only described cancelled test results associated with urine testing. For alcohol testing only, cancelled test means a test result that was not acceptable because testing did not meet the quality assurance and quality control requirements in § 26.91.
Cancelled Test. A drug or alcohol test that has a problem identified that cannot be or has not been corrected, or which this part otherwise requires to be cancelled. A cancelled test is neither a positive nor a 23 negative test. Having a cancelled test does not relieve the employee of the responsibility to provide a test that produces a measured outcome. Collection site – A place designated by the employer where employees present themselves for the purpose 25 of providing a specimen of their urine to be analyzed for the presence of drugs or providing a breath same to be analyzed for the presence of alcohol. Confirmation test - For alcohol, a second test following a screening test with a result of 0.02 or greater that provides a measure of alcohol concentration. For controlled substances and illegally used drugs testing, an analytical procedure to identify the presence of a specific drug or metabolite which is independent of the screening test and which uses a different technique and chemical principle from that of the initial screening test in order to ensure reliability and accuracy.
