People ask whether or not the First Check drug test is reliable. If you perform it the right way and take the correct precautions, it’ll be very accurate.
Children nowadays have access to illegal drugs far easier than ever before. These drugs circulate through schools and playgrounds, and a lot of us parents find that scary. Most parents know that children, especially teens, are very impressionable at a young age. Not to mention they aren’t keen on sharing what they’re doing with their parents. The teenage years are an era of rebellion for most. With all of that in mind, a lot of people begin to worry that their children are taking drugs. The first Check has provided you a solution that’ll either ease your stress or set you and your child on a path of recovery.
First Check drug test is one that you can do at home, and it’s very easy to perform. Since it’s a home test, a lot of people tend to question the reliability of the test. We’re here to tell you that if you follow the following tips and precautions, the test will be just as reliable as one that’s professionally done.
- The first thing you’re going to want to do is to wake your child without warning them ahead of time. You don’t want them to expect that they’re going to be awoken. Tell them what you’re doing (you’re testing them for drugs), and allow them to comprehend and think about the situation at hand. Escort them to the bathroom, make no stops!
- It’s important that you get a urine sample from your child right as they wake up, as most medical professionals agree that this is when urine is most concentrated. This will, of course, allow for highly valid results.
- You are going to want to supervise the urine collection (all the way through). Typically the same-sex parent would be on scene for this. This precaution ensures nothing can mess with the sample.
- Make sure to check that the container is warm on the exterior. If it’s not, it’s not a fresh sample!
- Now that you have the sample, do the test. Don’t let the sample out of your sight, just in case you want to get it checked by a professional to confirm the results!
- If you doubt the validity of this home test, you can always send the First Check drug test the sample and they’ll run a full test of it in their lab.
- If the sample is negative, do not send it into the lab for testing. A negative sample is very hard to manipulate, and therefore it is highly unlikely anything would come out of further testing. For more information on negative results, please refer to our helpline.
What Can mess Up the First Check Dug Test Results?
- Cleaning Products – Cleaning products like bleach and soap can mess with a urine sample to the point of it being completely unusable. These contaminants can stick to your fingers for quite a while, so make sure you get your child to wash their hands before giving them the container. Simply rubbing the inside of the container with their fingers while the substance is still on them will ruin the sample.
- Toilet Water – In the past, we have gotten a lot of messages from people saying their child contaminated the sample with toilet water. To get around this issue, we recommend you put several drops of water coloring (preferably blue as it stands out the most) into the toilet water. This way, if your child contaminates the sample, it’ll have unignorable blue traits.
- Disclaimer – There are a variety of drugs (both off the shelf and over the counter) that may skew the results of the First Check drug test. If you get a positive result and is on prescription medication, we recommend sending the sample into our facilities for further testing. We’ll then be able to identify whether or not the conflicting medication induced a false positive. Please keep in mind that this drug test will not provide an accurate intoxication level as it is not designed to do so. For more information please refer to our helpline, or to your family doctor or general practitioner.
