Assess whether hair testing can be used for this employment action (eb7801)

SITUATION Split-specimen B bottle request timeline arrived with an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff for return-to-duty coordinator. That is a Forensic Drug Testing Specimen Validity decision on hair testing can be used in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike.

DECISION Return-to-duty coordinator in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike must choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold using split-specimen B bottle request timeline after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. An oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff is noise around an already-controlled Specimen Validity process in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike, given split-specimen B bottle request timeline. 2. An oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff is the event in split-specimen B bottle request timeline that forces Accept the result for return-to-duty coordinator under Forensic Drug Testing. 3. Split-specimen B bottle request timeline shows a one-file miss after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff, not a Specimen Validity program failure. 4. Split-specimen B bottle request timeline cannot decide hair testing can be used yet after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff; hold is the only Forensic Drug Testing close a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Check MRO notes and cutoffs against the protocol a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike claims to run. 2. Walk chain of custody, collection site, and validity flags in split-specimen B bottle request timeline after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff. 3. Name the step return-to-duty coordinator cannot reconstruct from split-specimen B bottle request timeline. 4. For this Forensic Drug Testing Specimen Validity file, read split-specimen B bottle request timeline against an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff and write the one fact that would move hair testing can be used for return-to-duty coordinator.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold on this Forensic Drug Testing / Specimen Validity packet (split-specimen B bottle request timeline after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff). Lead with the Forensic Drug Testing option split-specimen B bottle request timeline can support after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for return-to-duty coordinator in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike.
