I found this 2002 report on urine tests for pcp. Comments?


We recently observed three occurrences of false-positive results for phencyclidine (PCP) on urine samples tested with the Syva庐 RapidTest d.a.u.庐 9 Test Panel (Syva Company, subsidiary of Dade Behring Inc.). The RapidTest d.a.u. 9 device is a single-use, one-step, solid-phase immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative, discrete detection of several drugs/drug metabolites in human urine (1). The urine samples were collected from three different patients who were seen in our Emergency Department within 3鈥? weeks after we had implemented the RapidTest device in our laboratory (Danbury Hospital). Because PCP is not a commonly used drug in our locale and the rare positive results have usually been confirmed as false positives, three positive PCP results in such a short time period immediately aroused suspicion.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR COCAINE on this type of test and haven't touched powder in 10 yrs.

Did you save the urine's? Maybe you can submit them to the manufacture to determine what the interfering substance is.
