Drug tests

Has anyone noticed a correlation between Spectrum's "fatal error" at log in the night before you're selected to test?

Featured Replies

I've have not seen an error message at log in before.

That's when they do down time to update their system. Anyone trying to log in at that time is going to get that. I've had it happen five times and each time didn't test.

Do positive test show "Positive" on online or always "Abnormal"?

They use invalid, negative or positive. After an mro review, it would change to non-negative or positive. I've never had abnormal. I just had an invalid that came back on an EGT. I've never heard of abnormal and I don't think they use that term in the testing Market

It's probably the same as invalid. Dilute. Of course this is my 3rd one...

In TPAPN dilute an invalid are two separate things. invalid means there was something wrong with the urine that the test can't be run. Dilute is dilute unless they found something then it's dilute positive.

I've just had "abnormal" results that they said were dilute. Of course I'm in Indiana. Not sure if it's different. There was just shift in the company running the monitoring program and I'm nervous on how they will handle me.

In Indiana there is positive, negative, abnormal and dilute. Urine samples are called Abnormal if the creatinine is less than 20mg/do. Dilute if, in addition to the

low creatinine, the the specific gravity is 1.0010.

After the 3rd dilute in Indiana, are you automatically put on more frequent testing and extended 6 months or do they notify you?

No one has contected me yet. The first 2 were at the beginning, before the new contract, I wasn't able to go early and drank too much coffee, apparently. This last one was...well, unexpected, we will say. I was scheduled to test today (which is 8 days after my last dilute) and was able to go early. It was another 16 panel so I assume the other was dilute and negative. I'm technically off criminal probation 10/6 so I'm hoping nothing interferes with that.

I've had a couple of abnormal and it was due to being dilute. Under Affinity testing. I once had a non negative that changed to dilute. Talk about flipping out. I'm like doesnt non negative mean positive?

I agree. It's all very ridiculous. I'm cool with a year of this but 3 is excessive, especially for a first offense. Of course mine wasn't even job related which makes it (for me) more frustrating. The money is starting to be a problem...and dating is next to impossible.
