Drugdiag® in an Envoyé Spécial report: what you need to know

Media use is not certification

Choosing a product for a report does not constitute official approval, commercial recommendation, or validation of the entire range by France Télévisions.

The quality and suitability of a test should be assessed based on its instructions, panel, thresholds, documented performance, and context of use.

What does a rapid saliva test measure?

A saliva test detects the substances or substance families indicated on its packaging and in its instructions. It provides a presumptive result based on a defined threshold and within a specific reading window.

• a valid control line is essential;
• an insufficient sample can invalidate the test;
• panels and thresholds vary according to references;
• a negative result does not cover substances absent from the panel;
• a positive result may require laboratory confirmation.

Why the demonstration remains useful

A report can help the public understand the simplicity of sampling, the reading time, and the limits of a rapid test. This education is useful provided the result is not presented as absolute proof or as permission to drive.

The role of AMA Prévention

AMA Prévention supports individuals and professionals in choosing the appropriate matrix, panel, and format. For companies, this selection must be part of a protocol respecting confidentiality, proportionality, and the right to a counter-expertise when the consequences may be significant.
