75A. Scientific Aspects Of Urinalysis Program1. What Urinalysis Test ProvesUrine test proves only past use it proves that drug or drug metabolites (waste products) are in the urine. Urine test does not prove impairment single or multiple
usages method of ingestion or, knowing ingestion.
2. Drugs Tested• Marijuana (THC metabolite) and Cocaine (BZE metabolite Other drugs tested (some only upon request LSD – removed from testing in 2006. Still screened periodically under the prevalence program Opiates (morphine, codeine, MAM metabolite of heroin PCP Amphetamines including
designer amphetamines MDMA, MDA, MDEA
• Oxymorphone/Oxycodone
• Anabolic steroids – testing only done by UCLA.
3. Cutoff LevelsEach sample is first subjected to initial screening If initial screening shows the presence of drug metabolites above the
DoD-established cutoff levels, that sample is subject to confirmation testing. Samples which give test results below the cutoff levels are reported as negative. A sample is reported as positive only if it gives test results above the cutoff level during both the screening (every positive screened twice) and the confirming test. Source DoDI 1010.16, Ch. 1. Cutoff levels for different tests are in the tables below.
