Drug Screening Procedure. 1. The screening of all collected samples will be conducted within 48 hours by a City-designated laboratory certified by SAMHSA. 2. Initial screening of urine samples will be conducted using a testing methodology such as the “Enzyme Immunoassay” or other technique. 3. If a confirmation test is required, it will be conducted by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) or other testing methodology of equivalent quality and acceptability. 4. Upon receipt of the samples for testing, the designated laboratory will: a. Check the containers to ensure they are not damaged, and that the seals are intact. b. Complete the appropriate chain of custody forms for the samples. c. Conduct the initial testing of one of the samples using the “Enzyme Immunoassay” or other technique. d. If the sample tests “negative,” all urine samples will be discarded. e. If the urine sample tests “positive,” a confirmation test will be conducted. 1. The confirmation test will be determined by the specific drug found in the sample during the initial test. 2. The confirmation test will be conducted using the GC/MS or other alternative technique. f. If the confirmation test confirms the presence of drugs, both samples will be retained in a locked freezer for a minimum of one year. g. If the confirmation test is “negative,” the whole test will be considered negative and all urine samples will be destroyed. h. A dilute specimen with level of detection for drugs will be subjected to a confirmation test and may be determined as a positive result. i. The City may do a repeat collection when recommended by the Medical Review Officer following SAMHSA guidelines.
