red control line. If a red control line does not appear on all control strips, the test result is not valid, and the device must be discarded.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                * Within the time period mentioned above, if a red line, or part of a red line, does not appear in any of the segments containing an abbreviation code for a testable drug group, the test has resulted in a Step 1 screening negative. Ignore any line or part of a line that FIRST appears after 15 minutes have elapsed. But do not ignore any line or part of a line that first appears BEFORE 8 minutes have elapsed EVEN IF it goes on developing until 15 minutes have elapsed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                * If the test has resulted in a Step 1 screening negative, testing is complete at that point and Step 2 is not required.

Remove cartridge before turning on.
