Test Usage:

Qualitative screening for Oxycodone (Percodan, Percocet, Roxicodone, OxyContin) and metabolites in urine. This assay does not detect Oxymorphone (Opana). The sensitivity detection level of this test is considerably higher than that of the standard opiate test; this assay should be used when Oxycodone use is suspected.

Test Limitations:

The presence of hydrocodone in a urine sample can cause a false positive test result in the urine oxycodone screening test. Positive immunoassay results should be considered presumptive. Positive immunoassay results will be confirmed by GC/MS if requested by the client.

Test Methodology:

Competitive Binding Immunoassay

Additional Information:

Oxycodone screen (OXYC) and qualitative confirmation (GCMS) performed by Drug Analysis and Toxicology Laboratory. Quantitative Oxycodoen Confirmation is sent to Warde Medical Laboratory. Quantitative Oxymorphone Confirmation is sent to Mayo Medical Laboratories.
