Study Notes
Urinalysis Program Overview
- Actions available in iFTDTL: check custody form status, query laboratory results, and print laboratory reports.
- Required comparisons after urine sample collection: samples must match custody documents.
Sample Collection and Handling
- To secure fewer than 12 sample bottles in shipping, fill empty cells with wadded sheets of paper.
- A sailor must provide a minimum of 30ml in a specimen cup; if unable, the UPC can discard the sample and hold the sailor until a new sample is provided.
Adulteration and Integrity
- Adulteration refers to the act of spiking a sample with a foreign substance.
- Preventing adulteration during collection includes adding food coloring to toilet water.
- Critical elements of a command urinalysis program include secured personnel, unpredictable testing, and direct observation.
Documentation and Compliance
- The DD form 2624 must be shipped in a waterproof envelope, attached to the shipping container.
- Chain of custody must be documented on the back of DD form 2624 from collection to delivery.
- Two DD form 2624s are required for each box of urine samples.
Testing Protocols and Procedures
- Minimum testing forms needed: bottle labels, urinalysis register, and DD form 2624.
- Random sampling must include at least 15% of personnel, cap at 40%.
- Different types of sample manipulations: adulteration (spiking), dilution (overhydrating), and substitution (switching bottles).
Roles and Responsibilities
- The DAPA submits the Drug Abuse Referral (DAR) to ADMITS within 30 days of any incident.
- Individuals recommended as primary command UPC: Sailors ranked as E-7 or above.
- Key roles of the UPC: investigate and report discrepancies, package specimens, and manage the command's alpha roster in NDSP.
Acts and Codes
- Discrepancy code "GG" indicates a specimen is listed, no bottle received.
- Code "FA" denotes incorrect or missing entries on the custody document.
Testing Specifics
- For steroid testing, a minimum sample size of 60ml is required.
- The observer must ensure collection of at least 30ml for standard drug tests.
- Commands should prioritize accessibility to resources such as NDSP, necessary for generating random personnel lists for testing.
General Knowledge
- The non-reported custody form outlines what is currently undergoing testing within labs.
- Access iFTDTL upon receiving a notification email for updates on urinalysis results and compliance reports to verify random test sufficiency.
- Authorized inspectors for the urinalysis program include ADCO and CO.
