(At this time, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the <br />only authorized confirmation method for cocaine, marijuana, opiates, amphetamines, <br />and phencyclidine. <br />3.8. Confirmed Positive Test - The result of a confirmatory test utilizing the Gas <br />Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) technique that has established the <br />presence of drugs or drug metabolites in a specimen at or above the cut-off level, and <br />that has been deemed positive by the Medical Review Officer. For determining blood <br />alcohol levels, a confirmatory test means a second test using another breath alcohol <br />analysis device. Further alcohol confirmations upon demand will be by gas <br />chromatography analysis of blood. <br />Confirmatory Test Cut -Off Levels: n /ml <br />Marijuana metabolites' <br />15 <br />Cocaine Metabolites' <br />150 <br />Opiates <br />2000 <br />Codeine <br />2000 <br />Morphine <br />2000 <br />Amphetamines: <br />Amphetamine <br />500 <br />Metham hetamine3 <br />500 <br />Phencyclidine <br />25 <br />Benzodiaze Ines <br />300 <br />Barbiturates <br />300 <br />Methadone <br />300 <br />'Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid <br />2Benzoylecgonine <br />3Specimen must also contain amphetamine at a concentration > 200 ng/ml. <br />3.9.

The 0.04% cut-off level may be revised in the future to such level that may <br />be established by the U.S. Department of Transportation as the allowable limit of blood <br />alcohol content. <br />3.11. Initial Test (Screening Test) - An immunoassay screen for drugs or drug metabolites to <br />eliminate negative urine specimens from further consideration or the first set of <br />breathalyzer tests for alcohol. <br />3.12.
