Drug Testing Programs
InfoLink’s drug testing programs offer result reporting via online, fax, or automated phone response. Our programs also offer great turnaround times, typically 24 hours for confirmed negative results and 48 hours for reporting of confirmed positives results from time of collection. InfoLink also offer Medical Review Officer (MRO) services, random drug testing administration, and sample policy and procedures to begin your drug testing program.
Program One: Off-Site Urine Drug Testing
Program One is a urine drug screen that can test for 5, 9, or 10 panels (drugs). Regardless of the number of drugs you want tested, the price remains the same. Included in the test is collection using our patient service centers, legal confirmation at our certified labs, and chain of custody forms. An adulterants check, which tests for substances people ingest to mask the presence of drugs in their system, is also included at no additional charge. Program One (5-panel) can be used for Department of Transportation testing with the addition of our MRO Service on all of your results.
Program Two: Drug and Alcohol Testing
Program Two is a Urine Drug Screen with the same panel selection as Program One plus the addition of Alcohol testing on the sample. The additional Alcohol panel is ideal for post accident, reasonable suspicion and post offer hiring situations.
Program Three: Hair Follicle Drug Testing
Program Three is Hair Testing by Psychemedics, which offers the first internationally patented technology to analyze hair follicles for drugs of abuse. This program tests for 5 drugs (panels) in the hair sample, including Ecstasy. Hair samples, which provide a drug history over a 90-day period, may be collected on-site or by various collection sites. This program also includes legal confirmation of the samples, chain of custody forms and courier service. The hair test cannot be evaded; drug residues remain permanently entrapped in the hair and cannot be washed or bleached out thus providing a non-intrusive and cost effective form of drug testing. Negative results have a 24-hour turnaround time, positive results are reported within 48-72 hours, and results are reported online through InfoLink’s secure web site.
Program Four: On-Site Oral Fluid Drug Testing
Program Four is the 6-panel Oral Fluid Drug Test, which includes the test for Ecstasy. This test can be administered on site in your office in less than 5 minutes and on-line collection video instructions are provided. The donor collects his or her own sample with a swab and vial which fits in the palm of your hand and all you do is fill out the chain of custody form and send the sample out in a sealed pouch with a fed-ex air bill, both which we provide. Again this program includes legal confirmation of the samples, chain of custody forms, and courier service. This program also works as a great add-on to current programs for reasonable suspicion purposes. The oral fluid test nearly eliminates the risk of adulteration making it virtually impossible for donors providing oral fluid samples to mask drugs in their system.
Program Five: On-Site Urine Drug Testing
Program Five offers drug testing using a self-contained integrated cup that may be administered on site. InfoLink offers a 5 panel test using various products which range in price. This cup is cleared by the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and meets all current established and legally defensible SAMSHA cutoff detection levels. Performance data shows accuracy comparable to lab GC/MS standards. This cutting edge technology delivers fast results which are easily read with no urine handling or dip cards. Cups are simple to use and provide results in 3-5 minutes. Cup shelf life is 24 months in protective pouch.
Program Six: On-Site Oral Fluid Alcohol Test
Program Six is the perfect testing product for reasonable suspicion and post-accident situations when alcohol is suspected. Detect alcohol in saliva in two minutes or less. Each test is completely self-contained, totally portable and disposable. Without any special equipment or waiting for lab results, ON•SITE Alcohol Test provides accurate, cost-effective and reliable results.
Medical Review Officer (MRO) Service
InfoLink also offers an MRO service for clinical interpretation of results by a licensed M.D. who is also educated about drugs of abuse. The MRO service can be added to any of the programs and you can have MRO reviews conducted on only positive results or all of your results whether positive or negative. Our MRO will contact the donor to discuss pertinent information regarding his or her drug test result in order to rule out a possible positive which may have been caused by a prescription medication. Once the MRO can confirm that a legitimate prescription is held by the donor a result can be overturned and reported by the MRO to InfoLink and then the employer. If no evidence is presented to the MRO to prove the result may have been caused by another substance other than an illegal drug, the MRO will report the result as a positive. MRO’s offers a 72 hours window for the donor to respond with evidence before they report the result as is.
