Sweat Patch Drug Test
We have been getting more and more calls about the “sweat patch”, most are either complaints or worries of false positives. Here’s what we know about the patch.
In use since the late 1990’s by mainly federal probation officers and other judicial enforcement bodies as not only a test but as a deterrent to continued drug use. The patch device is made of a gauze cushion and a casing that looks a lot like a band-aid and sticks securely to the skin of the subject. The patch uses sweat as the specimen source and is worn on the skin for up to 14 days but usually for only about 7 days. It provides an alternative to urine collection and offers a number of advantages to probation and parole officers because it also increases the time detection window to include any period when it is worn.
With sweat patch drug testing the parent drug as well as the drug metabolite can typically be detected. Therefore, it is easier to identify which drug was actually taken. However, a well known forensic scientist claims the patches are not reliable. This well known university professor said in an interview that a 1999 study showed that even trace amounts of drug residue can contaminate the outside of the patch and cause a positive result. These trace amounts can possibly be air born cross contamination from active users in the probation office or simply from the general public. False positive results may also be due to the carelessness of the person applying and removing the patch since most of these people lack medical experience.
If you are required to wear a drug test patch a critical cleaning package or premium detox 7 day kit should be used prior to its application. You should also discuss with the issuing person your concerns of its accuracy and what other test you are allowed to take if a false positive result is returned.
