Drugs of abuse are illegal or prescription medicines (i.e. Oxycodone or Valium) that are taken for a non-medical purpose, including taking the medicine for longer than your doctor prescribed it for or for a purpose other than what the doctor prescribed it for.

Control line fails to appear.  The most common reasons for control line failure – insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques.  Review the procedure and repeat the test using a new test panel.  If the problem persists, discontinue using the lot immediately and contact your manufacturer.

One red line appears in the control region (C).  No line will appear in the test region (T).  This positive result indicates that the drug concentration is above the detectable level.  A preliminary positive test result does not always mean a person took illegal drugs and a negative test result does not always mean a person did not take illegal drugs.

Note: There is no meaning attributed to line color intensity or width

Two lines appear.  One red line should be in the control region (C) and another red or pink line in the adjacent test region (T).  A negative result indicates that the drug concentration is below the detectable level.  A preliminary positive test result does not always mean a person took illegal drugs and a negative test result does not always mean a person did not take illegal drugs.

Note: The shade of red in the test region will vary. There is no meaning attributed to line color intensity or width.  Any form of faint pink line should be considered a negative.
