Drug Patch

[championdave]

Recently I was put on probation and told I was going to be put on a "drug patch" to moniter my drug use in 2 days.

I smoked frequently (every day for months) before being caught and then i quit for 2 weeks prior to court. I smoked a shit load the day before court because i was expecting jail.

Does anyone know how this patch works and whether I'm going to fail from smoking earlier in the week?

Im concidering niacin and im going to the gym and sauna just in case.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

A little google and I come to find out it's referred to as a 'sweat patch'

The Drug Policy Alliance and DPA Network feel that the use of sweat testing in any of these settings is inappropriate, as published, peer-reviewed research has revealed serious problems with current sweat testing technology. We believe that sweat patch testing poses an unacceptably strong potential for false positive test results. False positives carry serious consequences for tested individuals - sometimes including incarceration or loss of child custody.

How does the sweat patch work?

The sweat patch consists of a gauze pad covered by a protective membrane similar to that of a band-aid. The membrane has an adhesive perimeter that sticks tightly to the test subject's skin. The sweat patch is usually worn on the subject's upper arm. Before application, the subject's arm is swabbed with an isopropyl alcohol rub.

After the patch has been worn for approximately seven to ten days, it is removed and the gauze pad is sent to the laboratory for testing. The lab usually performs "screening tests" for several different drugs, using an immunoassay testing system. If any screening test indicates the presence of a drug, the lab performs a "confirmatory test" for that drug, using the more precise "gas chromatography / mass spectrometry" (GC/MS) testing system. If the confirmatory test finds levels of the drug above the "cutoff" the lab is using, the lab will report a positive test result.
