Opiate/Oxycodone Screen With Reflex Confirmation, Whole Blood
Use
This test is used to screen for the presence of opiates and oxycodone in whole blood. It serves as an initial presumptive test using immunoassay techniques, with any presumptive positives being confirmed through chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS or LC/MS-MS). The purpose of this test is to accurately detect opiate and oxycodone use, aiding in patient management and treatment monitoring for substance abuse.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
The test has not been cleared or approved by the FDA, and its performance characteristics were determined by LabCorp. External factors or improper specimen handling might impact test accuracy. The use of immunoassay may result in false positives or negatives, necessitating confirmatory testing for definitive results.
