MicroScreen OFT Instructions for Use
Step 1: Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening. Remove the test from the sealed pouch and use within one hour of opening. Instruct the donor to not eat, drink, or smoke for at least 10 minutes prior to collection of oral fluid specimen.
Step 2: Remove the swab from the cassette, then remove the cap from the swab.
Step 3: Place the sponge between the lower cheek and the gum. Gently rub back and forth between the left and right cheeks and the gum until the sponge is completely saturated with saliva. Do not bite, suck or chew the sponge as it may break. Remove the swab from the mouth, when two red/pink lines appear on the back of the swab or when the red/pink lines form a "3".
*Note: if the saturation indicator has not yet turned red, place the sponge back in the mouth and continue collecting saliva until the indicator turns red.
Step 4: Insert the swab into the cassette
*Note: when inserting the swab into the cassette, insert the protruding part of the swab head into the hole reserved at the sampling site, and then press down the tail of the swab to secure it.
Step 5: Slide the cover down over the swab head in the direction of the arrow until the cover stops. This will begin the test.
Step 6: Place the device on a flat surface while the test is running.
Negative results can be read as soon as clear lines form in both C and T zones of the test. Read non-negative results at 5-10 minutes.
Do not read results after 20 minutes.
*Note: The shade of color in the test line region (Drug/T) will vary, but it should be considered negative whenever there is even a faint line.
