Can a client retest a Positive Confirmation rapid test?

“It is possible to send the original specimen, however it will be noted that the specimen was opened by Quest. It would not be grounds to overturn the original result though.

Unless the levels were within 25% of cut-off, sending the sample to be reconfirmed would be pointless.

If you ever can’t do a bottle b on non-dot (lack of specimen, etc) or if a bottle b does rule a different result and the MRO won’t overturn the original since it’s been opened, suggest to the client to perform a hair test.
