HELP PLEASE

It didnt say a specific temp on just said over 100. I told her that I havent been feeling well and had been battleing a fever. She had no specific temp on the shett and didnt take mine. So you think im in the clear? Not that I dont believe you at all, but where are you getting your info?

My info comes from the regulations set by the Dept of Health & Human Services, the governing body that overlooks the operations of all labs and collection centers licensed in the US. The US Department of Transportation, as well as most state governments also have modeled their drug testing regulations from the DHHS platform. The regs set by DHHS holds the heaviest of weight and will stand up in any court in the US. Failure to follow the regs can result in the revocation of the collection sites certification to conduct drug testing, which could spell the end for the collection site as a business.

If the collector didnt specify the temp, then she screwed herself there as well. Without the specific temp written on the form, no proof can be established that you had submitted a sample outside the acceptable temp range.

Once again, if your sub donor was in fact drug-free and not overhydrated, you have nothing to worry about.

She didnt write a specific temp on the paper but put <100 on it. Does that count? Or does she need to put a specific temp on it?

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. They didnt even ask me if i wanted to take a second test under supervision or I would have. What happens if they try to give me a hard time about this? Should I talk to a lawyer?

They wont ask you to provide a second sample. They will instruct (read order) you to provide a second sample under direct observation. Failure to comply constitutes a refusal to test.


Since so many major mistakes have been made in the collection process (hence the integrity of the testing process had been compromised) its doubtful that they are gonna force the issue about the temp.

Stop worrying.

Thanks Burnt I feel good about this whole situation now. Just cant believe they fucked up so bad. Its hilarious.

how long can i keep clean piss in a cupboard and still use it? as long as i raise the temp, of course.

[suzieque]

was it <100 or >100? < is less than and > is greater than.

[stoutnstoli]

yea my bad it was >100. With everything that ive read about federal and state regualtions they really fucked up. They didnt follow any of the rules so Im pretty confident.
