摘要
Background: For analysis of urine samples during abstinence control for driving ability assessment (medical and psychological assessment, MPA), a reliable screening method for ethyl glucuronide and drugs of abuse (cannabinoids, opiates, cocaine, amphetamines, methadone, and benzodiazepines) is needed. Methods: In this study CEDIA and DRI immunoassays were applied on a Thermo Fisher Scientific Indiko Plus analyzer. Precision and accuracy as well as sensitivity and specificity at the required cut-offs for the MPA were evaluated. Results: The specificity was satisfactory and ranged from 91% for methamphetamine to 100% for opiates, cocaine metabolite, amphetamine, EDDP, and benzodiazepines. Moreover, sensitivity was 100% for all assays except for cannabinoids (91%). Conclusion: The presented method can therefore be recommended for abstinence control. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
