📝 Step-by-step procedure
To ensure the reliability of the analysis, it is crucial to strictly follow these 4 steps.
1. The saliva sample
Open the sealed pouch at the last moment. Ask the patient to place the absorbent stick inside their cheeks and under their tongue. The sponge must be fully saturated with saliva (it becomes soft).
Pro tip: If saliva production is difficult, ask the patient to gently massage the outside of their cheeks or imagine a sour food (like a lemon) to stimulate the salivary glands.
2. Activating the migration
Once the sample is taken, firmly insert the stick into the test cassette until the mechanism triggers. You will see the migration of the liquid (a pink coloration) rise along the reading windows. Place the cassette on a flat surface.
3. The golden rule of 5 minutes
Start a timer immediately. The analytical accuracy of the Toda Drugdiag 5+ depends on strict timing.
- Do not read the test beforehand.
- Read the result exactly at 5 minutes. After this time, the result may be altered and inaccurate.
🚨 Beware of the interpretation trap!
This is the most important step. Unlike some medical tests, reading drug screening tests is often counterintuitive:
- Presence of 2 lines (C area + Drug area): The test is NEGATIVE (The drug is not detected).
- No line in the drug area (Only the C line appears): The test is POSITIVE.
Note: The Control line (C) must always appear. If it does not appear, the test is invalid.
💡 Practical information on screening
During a roadside check, the gendarmerie saliva test is commonly used to detect the presence of drugs. Many wonder about how long the gendarmerie saliva drug test stays positive: it depends on metabolism, but THC remains detectable from several hours up to a few days. The gendarmerie THC saliva test (or gendarmerie saliva THC test) specifically targets recent cannabis use.
For prevention at home or in the workplace, taking a THC saliva test (also called a saliva THC test) is an excellent step. If you’re looking to equip yourself, you might be wondering where to buy an equivalent gendarmerie saliva test? Although it can sometimes be hard to find a THC saliva test at a pharmacy, you can order our professional devices directly online.
🚨 Road Safety Reminder
Driving under the influence of drugs is severely punished by law. Plan ahead with a reliable self-test before getting behind the wheel.
