## Indications for use
“STARTOX” Drugs of Abuse Screening Test is a one-step lateral flow immunoassay intended for the simultaneous detection of multiple drug analytes in urine. “STARTOX” is intended for use in the qualitative detection of drugs of abuse at the following Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recommended levels: Compound — Abbreviation — Level Methamphetamine ((+/-)methamphetamine HCI) — METH — 1000 ng/ml Opiates (morphine) — OPIATES — 300 ng/ml Cocaine (benzoylecgonine) — COCAINE — 300 ng/ml Cannabinoids (1l-nor-A9-THC-9-carboxylic-acid) — THC — 50 ng/ml STARTOXTMDrugs of Abuse Screening Test provide only a preliminary qualitative test result. Use a more specific alternate quantitative analytical method to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GCMS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Apply clinical and professional judgment to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are obtained. For professional use only.
