o Methadone 300ng/ml o Propoxyphene 300ng/ml *Chemical breath testing procedures as described in Chapter 10D-42, F.A.C. or U. S. Department of Transportation rules, or other reasonably reliable alcohol test devices, including tubes containing crystals that change color when exposed to alcohol, passive alcohol sensors, or saliva testing devices, etc., may be used, as determined by the City prior to requiring a blood sample in its reasonable suspicion testing program (and random if such is implemented in the future). These results are reported only to the appropriate manager who then determines if further testing under this program is warranted. L. Confirmation Tests Used for Implementing § 440.101-.102, Fla. Stat. All blood and urine specimens identified as positive on the initial test will be confirmed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or an equivalent or more accurate scientifically accepted method approved by the HRS, except that alcohol will be confirmed using gas chromatography. All confirmation will be done by quantitative analysis. Concentrations which exceed the linear region of the standard curve will be documented in the laboratory and recorded as "greater than highest standard curve value". The following confirmation cutoff levels will be used when analyzing specimens to determine whether they are positive or negative for these drugs metabolites. All levels equal to or exceeding the following will be reported as positive: • Alcohol .05g/dl% • Amphetamines 1000ng/ml • Cannabinoids 100ng/m1 • Cocaine 300ng/ml • Phencyclidine 25ng/ml • Methaqualone 300ng/ml • Opiates 300ng/ml • Barbiturates 300ng/ml • Benzodiazepines 300ng/ml • Synthetic Narcotics: o Methadone 300ng/ml o Propoxyphene 300ng/ml IX. TEST RESULTS (Blood and Urine) A. Reporting Results. 1. The laboratory shall disclose to the MRO a written positive confirmed test results report within 7 working days after receipt of the sample. The laboratory should report all test results (both positive and negative) to the Medical Review Officer (MRO) within 7 working days after receipt of the specimen at the laboratory. The name and address of the current MRO is on file with the Human Resources Department. The MRO is employed by the City and is not an employee of the drug testing laboratory. 2. The laboratory will report as negative all specimens which are negative on the initial test or negative on the confirmation test. Only specimens confirmed positive on the confirmation test will be reported positive for a specific drug. (Reso)Sib Drug-Free Workplace Proeram-Rev 01182018 Page 15 of 41 1/18/2018
