Intended Use
The Alcohol Test (Urine) is a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of alcohol in human urine.This test provides a preliminary result only. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography (GC) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated.
Summary
The Alcohol Test (Urine) is a chemical assay based on an Alcohol-sensitive enzymatic reaction. Alcohol, if present in the specimen, reacts with chemicals on the reaction pad and causes a color change. The Alcohol Test (Urine) consists of a plastic card with a reaction pad. The reaction pad employs a solid-phase chemistry system which uses a highly specific enzyme reaction. On contact with specimens of Alcohol, the reaction pad will rapidly change colors depending on the concentration of Alcohol present. This color change is proportional to the concentration of Alcohol in the specimen. By comparing with the color blocks on color chart, an approximate Alcohol concentration can be determined.
