2.3
Results display
The SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer is a screening device and all positive screens should be confirmed by a second test method such as GC-MS
(Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) or LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry). Both of these confirmatory methods are
laboratory tests.
Test results will be displayed on the analyzer as follows:

Meaning
Laboratory Confirmation Recommended
Positive
The drug or metabolites of the drug have been detected in the sample at levels
above the cutoff.
Yes
Negative
The drug concentration in the sample is below the designated cutoff level for
that specific drug.
No
Invalid
A result could not be provided for that specific drug from this test. A further
test would need to be completed to obtain a result for this drug.
N/A
To carry out a confirmation test, a second sample must be collected from the donor using a laboratory test. Please contact Customer Service for
more information of how to do this.
2.4
Control keys
The SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer has a five-way navigation button and the left and right soft keys. Please see section 2.1 SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer
at a glanc
e, which shows the location of these buttons.
The left and right soft keys can be used to select the corresponding on-screen buttons which will appear at the bottom left and right hand
corners of the screen when input is required from the user. For example, if the screen below appears, pressing the left soft key would take the
user to the menu while pressing the right soft key would take the user to the help function associated with this step.
The five way navigation key can be used to scroll up, down, left and right by pressing the top, bottom, left or right edge of the button
respectively. For example, if the screen below appears, the five way navigation key can be used to move the highlighter bar up and down
through the list of test results. Pressing the center of the five way navigation key selects the option that is highlighted on the screen and can be
used instead of the left and right soft keys for ‘OK’ and ‘Enter’.
2.5 Connectivity
The SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer can be connected to mains power, to the printer and to a PC using the cables provided in the system Carry Case.
Use only the connections and printer provided. Alternative connections and printers should not be used as these may be unsafe or incompatible
with the analyzer.
