Assess whether oral-fluid cutoffs are scientifically and legally aligned

SITUATION A lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike cannot treat an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff as incidental context on dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair. SAP program manager must close oral-fluid cutoffs are scientifically from that extract under Forensic Drug Testing / Program Design and Audit.

DECISION SAP program manager in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike must choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold using dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair 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 Program Design and Audit process in a lab facing an adulterated-specimen spike, given dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair. 2. An oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff is the event in dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair that forces Accept the result for SAP program manager under Forensic Drug Testing. 3. Dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair shows a one-file miss after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff, not a Program Design and Audit program failure. 4. Dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair cannot decide oral-fluid cutoffs are scientifically 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. Walk chain of custody, collection site, and validity flags in dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff. 2. Name the step SAP program manager cannot reconstruct from dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair. 3. Test whether a broken seal, timing miss, or donor explanation changes oral-fluid cutoffs are scientifically. 4. For this Forensic Drug Testing Program Design and Audit file, read dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair against an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff and write the one fact that would move oral-fluid cutoffs are scientifically for SAP program manager.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Accept the result / Reject on custody / Recollect / Hold on this Forensic Drug Testing / Program Design and Audit packet (dilute-specimen creatinine and specific-gravity pair after an oral-fluid device the lab has not validated for this cutoff). The follow-on Program Design and Audit action is what SAP program manager does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
