First time being tested (Quick Fix)

[imitator]

SAME HERE!!! I just rubber-banded the pad to the bottle and in Vegas today it is 106 outside...Heat is no problem. Going to Quest Diag. and that sucks.

Make sure its not too warm either. Bodily fluids dont vary much in temp, so if you arent within something like 2 degrees or so from the optimal temp, they will DQ you, be it too cold or too warm.

First time being tested (Quick Fix) Whattup yall, first post ever for me here. ok, so i got hired at this hotel in town and they want me to come in tomorrow for paper work and most likely a drug test. i know for sure that they test because it said it on the application. i just bought some Quick Fix, and this being my first time even taking a drug test i'm kinda nervous. the good news is i had a friend who worked there a few years ago, and he said no one watched him piss at the lab they tested him at. i know im just Rating: 5

The temperature range is 90-100 not + or - 2 degrees.

BS.

I failed a test with a temp of 92 degree's before.

No one is going to be pissing 90 degree piss.

You are right about one thing, no one will piss 90 degrees. But the cup is plastic and absorbs heat and can lower the temp because what is room temperature? It isn't 98.6 degrees in most rooms is it. So to account for heat loss you get a temp range of 90-100 degrees. Go get a drug testing form. There is a box that says "Is the sample provided in the range of 90-100 degrees" and a little check box for it.

If you failed for 92 degrees then you aren't telling the whole story or someone made a mistake or someone just didn't like you.

It failed the proper warmth to the touch test that most techs do. That caused them to check the tempature strip, which read 92 degrees. To make sure it wasnt the strip being wrong, they even poured it into a fresh cup, and the temp stayed the same.

I have never in all the drug tests I have taken heard anyone say that 90 degrees was passing. Maybe its just every drug testing center in Huntsville AL and Marquette MI, but thats how its always been. Within 2(sometimes 3 if they are really nice) degrees of 97/98 or else fail.

Imitator, this is from the big bad book of protocols drug test collectors must follow:

Subpart E - Urine Specimen Collections

§ 40.65 What does the collector check for when the employee presents a specimen?
As a collector, you must check the following when the employee gives the collection container to you:
(a) Sufficiency of specimen. You must check to ensure that the specimen contains at least 45 mL of urine. (1) If it does not, you must follow â??shy bladderâ?� procedures (see §40.193(b)).
(2) When you follow â??shy bladderâ?� procedures, you must discard the original specimen, unless another problem (i.e., temperature out of range, signs of tampering) also exists.
(3) You are never permitted to combine urine collected from separate voids to create a specimen.
(4) You must discard any excess urine.
(b) Temperature. You must check the temperature of the specimen no later than four minutes after the employee has given you the specimen.
(1) The acceptable temperature range is 32â??38 °C/90â??100 °F.
(2) You must determine the temperature of the specimen by reading the temperature strip attached to the collection container.
(3) If the specimen temperature is within the acceptable range, you must mark the â??Yesâ?� box on the CCF (Step 2).
(4) If the specimen temperature is outside the acceptable range, you must mark the â??Noâ?� box and enter in the â??Remarksâ?� line (Step 2) your findings about the temperature.
(5) If the specimen temperature is outside the acceptable range, you must immediately conduct a new collection using direct observation procedures (see §40.67).
(6) In a case where a specimen is collected under direct observation because of the temperature being out of range, you must process both the original specimen and the specimen collected using direct observation and send the two sets of specimens to the laboratory. This is true even in a case in which the original specimen has insufficient volume but the temperature is out of range. You must also, as soon as possible, inform the DER and collection site supervisor that a collection took place under direct observation and the reason for doing so.

Your story sounds suspect because they should have made you provide a second sample anyway and not just "well it was 92 and I failed."

hey guys ... just got back from the hotel that hired me ...


THEY DIDNT EVEN TEST ME!!! i was 100% sure they were going to .....

[winston3338]

Yes, Yes, Yes... I took QF to My interview today and left it in the car and just as they said...Your hired She asked if I would go take a test, Now and I was ready. Just don't use the heat pad.

[reezykeezy]
