SUMMARY

Methadone is an unusual drug in that its primary urinary metabolites (EDDP and EMDP) are cyclic in structure, making them very difficult to detect using immunoassays targeted to the native compound.1 Exacerbating this problem, there is a subsection of the population classified as “extensive metabolizers” of methadone. In these individuals, a urine specimen may not contain enough parent methadone to yield a positive drug screen even if the individual is in compliance with their methadone maintenance. EDDP represents a better urine marker for methadone maintenance than unmetabolized methadone.

DIRECTIONS FOR CASSETTE USE
Allow the test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test cassette from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour. 
2. Place the test cassette on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine (approx. 120μL) to the specimen well (S) of the test cassette, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S). See the illustration below.
3. Wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10minutes. 


DIRECTIONS FOR PANEL USE
Allow the test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test panel from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour. 
2. Remove the cap. 
3. With the arrow pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test panel vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10 to 15 seconds. Immerse the strip to at least the level of the wavy lines, but not above the arrow on the test panel.
4. Replace the cap and place the test panel on a non-absorbent flat surface.
5. Start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear.
6. The result should be read at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.



DIRECTIONS FOR STRIP USE
Allow the test, urine specimen, and/or controls to reach room temperature (15-30ºC) prior to testing.
1. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening it. Remove the test Strip from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour. 
2. With arrows pointing toward the urine specimen, immerse the test Strip vertically in the urine specimen for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the Test Strip when immersing the strip. See the illustration below. 
3. Place the test Strip on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and wait for the colored line(s) to appear. Read results at 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
