The acetaminophen/paracetamol assay will yield positive results when acetaminophen/paracetamol is ingested at or above therapeutic doses. This test provides only a preliminary result. Clinical consideration and professional judgment must be applied to any drug of abuse test result; particularly in evaluating a preliminary positive result. In order to obtain a confirmed analytical result; a more specific alternate chemical method is needed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS); Liquid Chromatography/ Mass Spectrometry/ Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) are common confirmatory methods. A quantitative serum acetaminophen/paracetamol measurement is the common confirmatory method for preliminary positive acetaminophen/paracetamol results. Alere San Diego; Inc. is initiating a recall of the Alere Triage TOX Drug Screen; Catalog Number 94400; Lots W56013B and W56035B because Alere’s investigation has shown that these lots have a frequency of false negative results for PCP (Phencyclidine) that is higher than the frequency shown in the package insert.
