Procedure for the application of a urine drug test
The implementation process of testing and handling of samples and interpretation of results must be carefully planned and managed professionally. This is not to test urine in serial form. It is recommended that there is a professional team in charge of overseeing the entire process. It is also important that health personnel have specific training involved in this area.
It is necessary to collect a "clean catch urine sample" ("the midstream"). For this sample, men or boys should wipe clean the head of the penis with a moist cloth or alcohol pads, while women or girls should wash the area between the lips of the vagina with water soap and rinse well.
As you start to urinate, allow a small amount of urine to fall into the toilet, this clears the urethra of contaminants. Then, in a clean container, catch about 30 to 60 ml (one or two ounces) of urine and remove the container of the jet. Give the container to the doctor or assistant.
One of the most common mistakes is to minimize the importance of medical supervision of the taking of samples and interpretation of results. Doing so many problems in the management of positive results and may jeopardize the whole effort of prevention.
Another important aspect is the confidentiality required by this process and the establishment of a safety chain of the sample, and the choice of a laboratory with high standards of quality.
Last but not least is necessary to manage the entire process with respect to the persons to be examined. This makes it much easier and worth the whole process of sampling and detection. In some companies, and even some national labor codes have been developed laws and regulations in this regard to indicate the correct way to proceed with the taking of samples and information management, as well as the decisions that emerge from the analysis results.
