Simplicity with Clinical Lab Accuracy...
The Q.E.D.®
test
can be used as an accurate screen in place of blood tests. In clinical
trials, saliva alcohol levels measured with the Q.E.D.5®
tests demonstrated high correlation to blood analyzed by  gas
chromatography (r=O.98) and produced no false positive or false negative
results.

STAT alcohol results with the CLIA "waived" Q.E.D.® Saliva
Breath Alcohol Test
The perfect
complenient to a rapid drug screen. More than 60% of hospitals do rapid
drug screening using urine-based test cups, dipsticks or panels. The market
leader generates $56MM annually in drug test sales. But what about alcohol?
Hospitals conduct 6.76 million blood and breath alcohol tests each year
- that's about 5% of all patient visits to the Emergency Department. Our
research indicates a potential to sell 2.6 million Q.E.D. tests per year.

of "waived" status
- Q.E.D.
tests can be run by any Emergency Department staff, including med techs.

need only be run on each new lot of devices, as per our product instructions.
Previously Q.C. checks were required every day of patient testing.
- Proficiency
can fall under the hospital lab's "unbrella" program, with
Q.E.D. tests classified as Point of Care rapid tests. Q.C. can be run
right in the Emergency Department.
