Dräger DrugCheck 3000 oral fluid drug test

The Dräger DrugCheck 3000 has been independently verified to AS/NZS 4760:2019. A highly mobile, visual drug screening test, the DrugCheck 3000 tests for up to six different drug groups in oral fluid including amphetamine, methamphetamine, opiates, cocaine cannabis and oxycodone.

Drug testing in the workplace and the implementation of an appropriate and effective drug and alcohol policy and procedure can sometimes be controversial. It is generally accepted by employers, employees and the workers unions that there should be a formal drug and alcohol policy alongside a random testing program to identify whether employees are ‘fit for work’.

The DrugCheck 3000 can detect drug use, immediately after the user has taken drugs. This is in contrast to urine testing, with its slightly delayed detection capacity immediately after drug use due to the required metabolisation. This coincides with the time when the person is most likely to be affected by the drug. Urine tests also have a longer detection window, picking up drug use that may have occurred weeks prior to the test.

High quality drug testing devices produce significantly fewer false results (false positives and false negatives) than the cheaper, inferior types.
