Description
A quick screening test with one action, for semi-quantitative determination of alcohol in saliva.
For autotest, not for in vitro diagnostic use.
The Rapid Alcoholic Test Strip is a fast and very sensitive method to determine the presence of alcohol in the human saliva and provide an approximate value of the relative concentration of alcohol in the blood.
This test only provides preliminary screening. To obtain a confirmed analytical result, you must use a more specific alternative chemical method. Clinical considerations and professional judgment must be applied to any test screening result, especially when positive preliminary screening is indicated.
It has been ascertained that the concentration of alcohol in the saliva is comparable to that in the blood. The Quick Alcoholic Test Strip consists of a Reactive Plastic Strip with a reactive swab placed at the end. In contact with alcohol solutions, the reactive buffer will immediately change color, depending on the concentration of alcohol present in the blood. The reactive buffer uses a solid-stage chemical system that exploits a highly specific enzyme reaction.
Mode of use
Before testing, allow the Reactive Strip to reach the ambient temperature (15-30 °C).
Do not put anything in your mouth for 15 minutes before the start of the test. This includes soft drinks, tobacco products, coffee, mints and food, etc.
1. Sputate the saliva in the collection container.
2. Open the aluminum box and remove the Reactive Strip for the test. Observe reactive lump at the end of the Strip. If, before applying the saliva sample, the reactive buffer is blue, do not use it.
3. Saturate the reactive buffer with the saliva from the collection container or by applying the saliva directly on the buffer. (Normally it takes 6-8 seconds for saturation). Immediately after the application of the saliva, start the timer.
4. Read the result after 2 minutes. Compare the color of the reactive tampon with the color chart on the aluminum box to determine the relative concentration of alcohol in the blood.
Interpretation of results
Positive: The reactive strip for rapid alcolimetric tests will change in color in the presence of alcohol in the saliva. The color can vary from heaven with a relative concentration of blood alcohol of 0.02% to dark blue with a relative concentration of blood alcohol near 0.30%. This range of swab colors allows you to obtain an approximate value of the relative concentration of alcohol in the blood. The test can produce colors that seem to be between two adjacent coloured pads.
NOTE: The reactive strip for rapid alcolimetric tests is very sensitive to the presence of alcohol. A lighter blue color of the coloured tampon corresponding to 0.02% should be interpreted as positive in the presence of alcohol in the saliva but with a relative concentration of alcohol in the blood below 0.02%.
Negative: if the reactive strip for rapid alcolimetric tests does not show any color change, this result should be interpreted as negative, to indicate that the presence of alcohol has not been detected.
Null: If, before applying the saliva sample, the reactive buffer is blue, do not use it.
NOTE: If the outer edges of the coloured swab produce a slight coloring, but most of the swab remains colourless, the test should be repeated to ensure the complete saturation of the swab with the saliva. The test cannot be reused.
Precautions
Read the whole leaflet before running the test.
For autotest, not for in vitro diagnostic use.
Only for external use.
Do not use the test after the printed expiration date on the package.
Do not use the test if the aluminum envelope is torn or damaged.
Disposable. Dispose after first use.
The test device must remain in the sealed envelope until use.
A sample of contaminated or contaminated urine can give false results.
Keep out of reach of children.
Restrictions
1. If after eating, drinking or smoking, you do not wait 15 minutes before testing, you can get incorrect results, due to the possible contamination of saliva with substances that interfere. 2. The reactive strip for rapid alcolimetric tests is very sensitive to the presence of alcohol. Alcohol vapours in the air can sometimes be identified by the reactive strip for rapid alcoholic testing. Alcohol vapors are present in many public buildings and houses. Alcohol is a component of many household products such as disinfectants, deodorants, perfumes and glass cleaners. If alcohol vapours occur in the environment, it is recommended to test in a vapour-free area.
3. The interference or use of counterfeit medicines and alcohol-containing products can produce positive results.
Conservation
The test must be kept at 2-30 °C (36-86 °F) in its sealed aluminum packaging. If storage temperatures exceed 30 °C, the test performance may worsen. If the product is refrigerated, the test must be carried at room temperature before opening the envelope.
Integro packaging validation: 24 months.
