Abstract

New Italian legislation on driving under the influence of drugs considers oral fluid (OF) as a possible alternative drug testing matrix. On this basis, the present research was carried out to evaluate the applicability of four commercial on-site OF drug screening devices, namely DDS(®), Drugtest 5000(®), Drugwipe 5+(®) and RapidSTAT(®), in a real operative context. Preliminarily trained police officers tested randomly stopped drivers with two different kits side-by-side during roadside patrols. A central laboratory confirmed on-site kits' results by UHPLC-MS/MS analysis of the saliva specimen remaining after the screening analysis. 1025 drivers were submitted to the OF tests: 11.6% were positive for cocaine and metabolites, 11.1% for THC, 6% for amphetamines and amphetamine-type designer drugs and 2.3% for ketamine. The sensitivities of the kits were 81% (RapidSTAT(®)), 82% (DDS(®)), 90% (Drugwipe 5+(®)) and 97% (Drugtest 5000(®)) for cocaine and 38% (DDS(®)), 47% (Drugwipe 5+(®)), 72% (RapidSTAT(®)) and 92% (Drugtest 5000(®)) for THC. Drugtest 5000 was the only kit showing an acceptable sensitivity for on-site application. Only Drugtest 5000(®) and RapidSTAT(®) could be evaluated for amphetamines and methamphetamines: Drugtest...Continue Reading
