[WARNINGS AND PRECAUSIONS]

• For professional and in vitro diagnostic use only.
  
• For healthcare professionals and professionals at point of care sites.
  
• Do not use after the expiration date.
  
• Please read all the information in this leaflet before performing the test.
  
• The test cassette should remain in the sealed pouch until use.
  
• All specimens should be considered potentially hazardous and handled in the same manner as an infectious agent.
  
• The used test cassette should be discarded according to federal, state and local regulations.

[LIMITATIONS]

• The Cotinine Rapid Test provides only a qualitative, preliminary analytical result. A secondary analytical method must be used to obtain a confirmed result. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method.
  
• There is a possibility that technical or procedural errors, as well as other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.
  
• Adulterants, such as bleach and/or alum, in urine specimens may produce erroneous results regardless of the analytical method used. If adulteration is suspected, the test should be repeated with another urine specimen.
  
• A Positive result does not indicate level or intoxication, administration route or concentration in urine.
  
• A Negative result may not necessarily indicate drug-free urine. Negative results can be obtained when drug is present but below the cut-off level of the test.
  
• Test does not distinguish between drugs of abuse and certain medications.
  
• A positive test result may be obtained from certain foods or food supplements
