7 Panel Drug Screen – NHS Healthcare Standard

The 7 Panel Drug Screen – NHS Healthcare Standard (DOA107-NHS) is a combination drug test built for professional healthcare settings, screening for seven of the most commonly encountered drugs of abuse in a single sample. It’s formulated to the same standard used by NHS hospital and community drug teams, making it a dependable choice for organisations that need consistent, accurate point of care results without waiting for laboratory turnaround.

Each kit uses immunoassay technology to give a preliminary reading from a single urine sample, and the 2000ng opiate cut-off is set to exclude all but high dose codeine, reducing the chance of a positive result from normal over-the-counter medication use.

Key Benefits

Seven substances, one test. A single device screens for cannabis, methamphetamines, heroin and all opiates, amphetamine, tramadol, methadone and benzodiazepines, removing the need for multiple separate kits.

Built for professional use. This kit is formulated to the specification used by NHS hospital and community drug teams, and is equally suitable for business and workplace drug testing programmes.

Sensible opiate cut-off. The 2000ng opiate threshold is designed to exclude all but high dose codeine, helping to reduce false positives linked to common over-the-counter painkillers.

Fully certified. The kit carries CE, MHRA, ISO 13485, FDA and IVDD certification, giving confidence in its manufacturing and quality standards.

Fast, straightforward result. No laboratory visit or specialist equipment is needed. The test is read directly from the device shortly after sampling.

What This Test Screens For

Substance	Approximate Detection Window
Cannabis (THC)	5 to 30 days
Methamphetamines	3 to 5 days
Heroin and all opiates (2000ng)	2 to 4 days
Amphetamine (Speed)	3 to 5 days
Tramadol	3 to 5 days
Methadone	2 to 8 days
Benzodiazepines (sedatives and tranquillisers)	5 to 30 days

Detection windows are approximate and can vary depending on the individual, the amount used and how frequently a substance has been taken.

Results Explained

This is a preliminary point of care screening test, not a diagnostic tool. A negative result appears as two lines and means the substance wasn’t detected above the test’s cut-off level. A positive result appears as one line and indicates the substance, or its metabolites, is present above that threshold. An invalid result, where no lines appear or the control line fails, means the test should be repeated with a new kit.

As with all screening tests, any positive result should be confirmed using a recognised laboratory method before it’s relied on for a clinical, disciplinary or legal decision. Always read the full instructions included in the pack, as they set out exactly how to interpret your specific result.

How To Use

1. Collect a fresh urine sample in a clean, dry container.
2. Remove the test device from its sealed pouch immediately before use.
3. Follow the instructions in the pack to apply the sample to the device.
4. Place the device on a flat, dry surface.
5. Read the result within the time stated in the instructions, and avoid reading it after the stated cut-off point as accuracy may be affected.

Who Is It Suitable For?

This kit is designed for use by NHS hospital and community drug teams, as well as businesses and organisations running their own workplace drug testing programmes. It’s intended for professional or trained use rather than casual home testing, given the healthcare-grade specification of the panel.

FAQs

How accurate is this drug test?
The kit is manufactured to CE, MHRA, ISO 13485, FDA and IVDD standards and is designed to deliver a high level of accuracy in line with the manufacturer’s specification. As with all screening tests, a positive result should be confirmed with a laboratory test.

Why does the opiate panel use a 2000ng cut-off?
The 2000ng threshold is set to exclude all but high dose codeine, which helps reduce false positives from common over-the-counter painkillers containing codeine.

Is this kit suitable for workplace drug testing?
Yes. Although it’s built to the specification used by NHS hospital and community drug teams, it’s equally suitable for business drug testing programmes.

How many drugs does this test screen for?
It screens for seven substances in one test: cannabis, methamphetamines, heroin and all opiates, amphetamine, tramadol, methadone and benzodiazepines.

What should I do if I get a positive result?
Treat it as a preliminary indication rather than a confirmed diagnosis, and arrange a laboratory-based confirmation test before making any formal decision based on the result.
