7. RUNNING A DRUG TEST
Step 1: Remove the SoToxa™ Oral Fluid Collection Device from the packaging, ensuring they hold the plastic stem of the collection device, and then
place it in the mouth.
Step 2: Actively swab the collection device around the gums, tongue and inside the cheek, until the sample presence indicator starts to turn blue.
Step 3: Insert the collection device into the test cartridge (this should already be inserted into the analyzer). Gently push the collection device all the
way into the test cartridge to the stop position.
Once the sample collection device has been inserted, the analyzer should be kept in a horizontal plane remaining as still as
possible throughout testing. If the analyzer is tilted beyond the acceptable range, this warning symbol will appear on the screen:
Correct the orientation of the analyzer immediately to prevent disruption to the test. See section 2.11 Tilt sensor, for more information about
the tilt sensor.

Test in progress and interpretation of results
When the SoToxa™ Oral Fluid Collection Device has been inserted into SoToxa™ Test Cartridge in the SoToxa™ Mobile Analyzer, the screen will
display ‘test in progress’ and a countdown timer will appear.
When the analyzer has finished processing the test, a Results screen will be displayed. Results are displayed as positive, negative or invalid
against each drug group.
Negative: This indicates that the drug concentration in the oral fluid sample is below the designated cutoff level for that specific drug.
Positive: This indicates that the drug concentration in the oral fluid sample exceeds the designated cutoff level for that specific drug.
Invalid: A result could not be provided for that specific drug.
